Oh, wedding photography. You make me laugh and cry. You’re the apple of my eye. You’re the yummy in my tummy. You’re the art that makes me sigh.
I love wedding photography so much that I would write one bad poem a day to earn our own set of wedding photos. Instead, I wrote one letter to Brittany of Hanle Productions, asking her to please be our photographer. And oh my goodness—she said yes!
I found her while browsing through Snippet & Ink one day. I followed her link, flipped through the pictures in her gallery, and fell in love with her style more and more with each click.
Her photos struck me as intimate and thoughtful. Just to be doubly sure I was making a good choice, I asked my BFF to take a look at the pictures, too. She loved them and said that Brittany takes the kind of pictures that make her cry. Me, too; me, too!
And just to be triple sure, I pored over any information I could find on Brittany’s website. I loved this excerpt about her company:
A Milwaukee-based photography company specializing in fine art photography, inspired by high fashion, personal histories, and the beautiful people we are surrounded by each day. Our clients inspire our work, and it is an honor to capture such intimate moments of their lives.
And just to be quadruple sure, I asked Mr. Parfait about it. He liked her style, and he just wanted to be sure that I liked it. I got all indecisive about it, because I felt like it was such a huge decision. I thought I needed more options and more time to think about it. But then I thought about the conversation with my BFF, the descriptions on Brittany’s website, and the pictures I saw.
And I made my decision. Mr. Parfait and I took a trip up to Milwaukee to meet up with Brittany. I was SO INCREDIBLY intimidated on our way there, because I was expecting some kind of luminary photography goddess. But then we met her, and she was so sweet and humble. We laughed and talked with her, signed the contract, and drove home with happy hearts. You can expect many more cheesy poems once I get our wedding photos! Oh, the songs I will sing over them!
Anyone else out there over-thinking every wedding decision, even the easy ones? How did you choose your wedding photographer?

Wow, your photographer has such a beautiful style!
I definitely overthink everything, but somehow I always end up going with my first instict or thought! It’s bridal brain… it gets the best of us 
Haha! I love your cheesy poem! Congrats on getting a FAB photographer!
as a photographer myself, picking a wedding photog was definitely one of the hardest things for me to let go of. but we splurged and picked someone with timeless images and i couldn’t be happier with my decision. i trust her completely and every time i start to wonder if i made the right choice, i look at her blog and fall in love again.
They really look timeless. Great choice for the type of photos you have here.
What gorgeous pictures. They have such a vintage feel to them. I also, could write cheesy poems about all of the beautiful wedding pictures there are out there.
What a fantastic photographer! When we met with our photographer, I knew that she was the one for us. We actually didn’t even interview anyone else–we loved her work and personality, so I knew it was the right match.
What gorgeous photos! My BFF’s dad is a wedding photographer, so we had one picked out before we even got engaged… but I made a gut decision like that in regards to our wedding coordinator and couldn’t be happier.
I took ages to decide on my wedding photographer; you are not alone!
Ooooh! You were in Milwaukee! She’s an awesome photographer, you made a great decision (but you already know that). I hope you had a good visit!
You’re too cute. The photos are fab! Sounds like you made the right decision.
Her work is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing her photos of your wedding.
And your poem? Awesomeness.
Beautiful! You’re going to have wonderful wedding photos. :p
Heehee thanks, girls!
@Miss French Fries: Yes, we loved it there and totally wanna go back. I’ll let you know next time we’re in town.
@BirdofaFeather: I do that, too. Yay for photographers having blogs!
Her work is just stunning! I think choosing a photographer is one of the most important and difficult choices, but I don’t think you have a thing to worry about with your pick!
What a great choice! Wedding photography is so amazing - but choosing our photographer I have a feeling will be one of the most difficult decisions of my life!

Brittany is my photographer too! I loooove her work…she is also my sister-in-law hehe. She is absolutely the best. Several years ago she did my senior pictures, and I had such a blast. She is so much fun. She is doing my wedding soon too and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
