Miss Tiramisu: The Impulse Buyer

March 11th, 2008 @ 1:08 pm by Miss Tiramisu

I admit it. I’m emotional. I cry at commercials. I cry watching A Wedding Story, Whose Wedding is it Anyway?, and Engaged and Underage (wait, what?). Mostly though, I cry while surfing wedding photographer websites. Let’s not even think about how I’m going to be on *my* wedding day, as I can’t really make it through a slideshow of a stranger’s wedding without going into the ugly cry. (You know, where your face bunches up as you try to swallow back crying, and you end up making a little “humgph” noise with a red nose?”)

While still a naive (how do I get two little dots above the i?) and newly engaged Miss Tiramisu, I was surfing wedding photography websites when I stumbled upon I Do Click Photography, via the Wedding Photojournalist Association webpage. I watched just one of her slideshows, and I was hooked. The beautiful music, the artsy (but not *too* artsy) photos. The pictures were casual, but classic. They were of real weddings, not budget-less events, which made me sure that I was loving the photography, not just the couture gown or fancy reception details. I was hooked. And yes, I was ugly crying.

My grandfather is an award winning photographer (and you know what, my dad’s probably even better), and I like to think I have an eye for good photography. Or maybe I just know what I like, but I knew I liked I Do Click. I emailed the owner, Sam DePoy-Warren, right away, and she was just as awesome as her pictures.

Since we booked Sam on an impulse, she’s won two WPJA awards, a Brides magazine award, and- justifiably- raised her prices. She’s a bargain at any price though, and she travels- check her out!

Here are just a few of my favorites:

Her work looks great! Photography was super-important to me, too–it’s what will last of all the wedding-related things.

You made me laugh with deeming it “the ugly cry”–I know that cry all too well. :)

That’s funny….I get snffly too….in fact, I have cried at EVERY wedding I’ve been to, even when I don’t know the couple well. It’s the music that gets me. So now I actually have the Bridal March in my iPod, and I listen to it during my workouts…..I’m trying to desensitize myself to it so that I don’t bawl when I hear it on my wedding day!

looks great! :) i have seen a surprisingly huge amount of horrible photography coming out of “professionals”. in fact, my cousin’s wedding photos make me cry - from how bad they are. so, i am always relieved and excited to see great photos like these.

WPJA has another site, wedpix.com, that can suck hours out of your day.
