Holy wedding gods I need to catch everyone up on all that has been going on!! We are cruising along with the plans. Some major checks on the list include photographer, DJ and most importantly (in my opinion) THE DRESS!!
My quest for a photographer was a bit challenging. I probably emailed and talked to 30 or more in the whole state of Michigan. Some were pushy, some were cheesy and a lot were over budget. But thanks to a suggestion from a friend I found our gal, Genevieve McKeiver! She is super down to earth and matches our personality perfectly. Just this past weekend we did our engagement photos with her (it only took us 8 months). Anyway, they went great! She made us super comfortable, well as comfortable as you can be when someone is taking pictures of you kissing and cuddling : ) We went to one of our favorite areas, Holland, MI. First stop was the New Holland Brewing Company for some beer to relax the nerves. Then we started about downtown and in the park. The weather turned out perfect and thankfully there was still some color on the trees. All in all it was a fun day and we are so happy to be working with Genevieve!

After the craziness of talking to so many photographers, I decided that from here on out when looking at vendors I will talk to 3 and pick 1. Needless to say the hunt for a DJ was much simpler. We decided to go with Sound Productions. They are a preferred vendor of The Perry Hotel and seemed the least cheesy. I keep thinking about all the fun everyone is going to have dancing the night away! Now I just need to pick the perfect songs...
Finally, for the main event, THE DRESS, you will have to check back soon! Such a milestone in life and wedding planning deserves it's own post : )
Also coming soon is bridesmaid dresses, cakes and all the crafts you can imagine!
