VENDOR REVIEWS: Photographer

A big huge THANK YOU to Virgil Stephens and his assistant Pete Riesett. They were amazing and so much fun to work with! We had a blast and they captured it all! I admit, I gave them a tall order (I won't mention my lengthy photo list, ha!) but they caught the emotions of the day and I am still going through the hundreds of pictures we got from them! Thanks guys -- you exceeded our expectations by a mile!
Here is my favorite so far! We'll send along the link to all the guests in a few weeks and you can watch the whole day unfold before your eyes! (And order some great prints as well!!)
Stay tuned for more vendor reviews!

4 months and 1 day...

Although I know these last months are going to go quickly and once it's over I'll wish it wasn't.....but I just can't wait! Here's an inspiration board I've been working on since we'll be meeting with our florist in the next week to go over more in detail what we want.....More soon! (click image for larger view)

Photographer!

The photographer has been booked.....And he's awesome! We met him through one of the groomsmen, Mike V. who'll you'll meet soon... and have become friends with him ourselves!
He's Virgil Stephens! And he's great! Check out some of his work here!
Virgil is also the captain of the Aardvarks, the bike team that Gabe is a member of for the MS bike race. Not sure if you've heard, but they've recently been notified of their VIP status! Congrats Aardvarks!
Virgil is also a newlywed so knows first-hand what the day will be like and how to capture all those wonderful moments -- our first dance, the maid of honor speech, the best man hitting on the coat check girl -- you know, all those really special moments that we won't ever want to forget! ;)
But seriously, we are super psyched to have Virgil on board and know we're in good hands!

Good things!

So if you haven't gotten it yet, you will very soon! The save the dates have hit the mail!
Also, the informational website is up and running and can be found here and the registry is ready to go! (type in one of our names and the password is 101808)
More exciting stuff is coming up:
We met with a florist and a photographer in the last couple weeks and are just finalizing details on that. Hope to share more info soon!
And the bridesmaid dresses have been picked...but that will have to be a surprise!!! A very good surprise!!
And a quick shout-out to the Keith over at the Cranky Pressman for doing an amazing job on printing the save the dates! They are better then I imagined! Thanks!
