The Easiest Part of Planning

September 22nd, 2008 @ 9:32 am by Ms Fondue

When discussing our budget, Mr. Fondue and I agreed on one thing: photography was, by far, the most important item. It was also the easiest item to choose. Unbeknown to him, I had already found our photographer. About two years earlier, I was bored one day and planned what I thought our wedding might be like. It involved pink cymbidium orchids, some Asian design, less than 60 people, and Kate Crafton taking photos.

Alas, the only thing that remained was Kate. Fast forward two years later, and she had taken on a position with a studio in order to spend more time with her family. Soon after we became engaged, we scheduled an appointment with her at the new studio, Studio 5 Photographic Artists. I brought along my list of questions to ask, but they were really more of a formality. We loved her personality, and so we booked her!

Here is some of her work!

We are so excited to have her as our photographer! We had our engagement session a few weeks back, and are anxiously waiting to see them. (If you look, you can find a teaser on her blog.)

Was choosing your photographer difficult?

Me too! I completely knew photography was the most important part. Our photographer was the first vendor we booked.

We ended up changing our wedding date around our photographers’ commitments. They are just starting out (so fees are low) but immensely talented (score!)

She’s great! Are you doing a trash the dress session with her? It looks like she does some great stuff with that.

@shannamt: There’s a very good chance we’ll be doing a trash the dress session. ;)

@Miss Avocado and @Mrs. Onion: Thanks! I can’t wait to get all of the photos back and share them with the hive!

I LOVE your photog’s work. Those are awesome photos.

We definitely chose our photographer before any other vendor and while it was really hard to find someone whose work and personality we loved, we did find that person, and she’s amazing :)
