“Sunday is the one day a week you get the single woman’s sports pages: The New York Times wedding section.”
- Carrie Bradshaw
Ah, to be a bride.
Zany? Always. Overwhelming? Sometimes. Super fun? Yes!
So the big day is seven-ish months away. And after many hours of creative brainstorming on our couch, Mr. Ostrich and I successfully tackled most of the big stuff. You know…the island. The date. The venues. The wedding party. The planner. The decor inspiration. The suit. The dress. (Yes, the dress! )
And my most favorite part…
The terrific team who captures the crazy day.
You know how most girls dream of their perfect wedding dress for years? Not me. I was dreaming of my perfect wedding photos.
And at long last, we found our guy.
He is awesome.
He said yes!
And I did my happy dance for a week.
Here are some of my favorite bits of his work—dreamy, cool, and always clever. I’m a big fan, and maybe you are too?

How about you, fellow bees? What were you looking for in your photographer for your big day? I can’t wait to hear all about it 
Did he really take a picture of an ostrich? How hilariously appropriate/a good omen. Looks like they’re going to be amazing!
We wanted a photojournalistic style. Very few posed shots. Our goal was to be able to see our wedding day in a pictorial. Our photographer fits us perfectly. He is also shoots for newspapers and magazines. I’m like you … pics were top of the list. Although, I do love my dress!! LOL
Love his pictures!!! Love the one of all the mason jars together!
His photos have a soft romantic touch to them - love it!
SOOOO jealous, Max Wanger is a wedding GOD in the photography world!
I love Max Wanger’s work — you’ll have so many display-worthy photos!
I’m with you there! My photos were the most important thing to me. People thought I was crazy.
Well, no wonder you were dancing with delight for a week! His work is beautiful. I’d by lying if I said I wasn’t a little jealous. Congrats!
Photography was so major for us as well. My mother is an art photographer and we were looking for a great photographer to live up to what she does. Luckily my mother offered to do our photos, and thank goodness. Nothing in my eyes could live up to her shots.
Max was my top choice, but our dates changed so much that we couldn’t work it out. You’re lucky!
Color me jealous! Your pics will be amaaaazing. Of course, I really love our photographer, too.
Before getting engaged I’d seen a few weddign pics of bridal parties that I thought were great, but otherwise hadn’t thought much about photography and assumed most were the same. Once I dove into wedding blogs I learned that there is a HUGE difference in styles and artistry among wedding photogs. I quickly discovered that we leaned more towards a photojournalistic style, and who could tell the story of our day through their photos since we can’t afford a videographer. When I found our photog I loved the style and artistry found in her portfolio, but just as much as that it was her self/client descriptions that got me…
“I am easy going, outdoorsy-girlie, eco-conscious & a dreamy realist. I love my family & love to laugh. I love things daring, spunky, beautiful, romantic and authentic. You are madly in love, serious about having fun. Crave unique images. Love things modern, retro, soft, intimate, & outrageous. You love to laugh. You are searching for a photographer who brings joy, calm, eyes on the back of her head, passion, originality, laughter, spunk.” LOVE HER.
Great choice on the photographer!! I can’t wait to see what he shoots at your wedding!
Okay, so I already liked you a lot, but now that I know you hired Max Wanger, I’m pretty much obsessed with your wedding! Sooo cool!
Ohhh your pics are going to be phenomenal!!
I was looking for natural poses and good candids, vivid colors with some vintage wash mixed in, and I also watched my photogs in action at a friends wedding and loved how they operated.
