At the same time, I can also be very girly with an obsession with handbags, makeup, and high heels. And art! I've studied studio art extensively, almost majored in art history, and freelance as a web and graphics designer. Mr. Peony and I are having a ball of a time planning a wedding for 250(!) guests, doing our best to infuse our personalities (geeky chic) with the wishes of our very traditional Asian parents.

And The Winner Is…

We decided to go with Danny Weiss! Thank you to everyone who gave their input - I really appreciate it! At the end, it came down to two things:

Danny would cost about $1,000 more. But just the fact that we were still considering him made us realize that we liked him that much, that he was worth the extra money.
His personality - we could really picture him as a part of our wedding, making it all the more fun and beautiful. I also loved the fact that he was the only photographer who emailed us after our appointment to let us know how much he appreciated meeting us. Even something as small as that can make a big impact when choosing vendors; it really shows that they care and are excited to be a part of your big day.

We have a photographer! pleased08

As a sidenote, since we both liked Yun so much as well, we may end up using him for our Chinese wedding.

Danny offers several packages, but the one we’ve chosen is $5,200, which includes the following:

10 hours of photography by Danny
Associate photographer
30 page 12×12 fine art album
Engagement or Post Wedding “No stress portrait session” (we will probably have an engagement photo session in October, with the colorful foliage as our backdrop…I think it’ll provide a nice contrast to our spring wedding)
Online gallery for sharing
A full set of 4×6 proof prints (Danny said they can range anywhere from 600-1000)
DVD of digital negatives

I can’t wait to work with him!
