Kristy Cummings Photography–F.

I got married nearly four months ago, and I admittedly haven’t put up many vendor reviews yet.

That’s because all my wedding and vendor-related energy has been dedicated toward a problem of massive proportions: my wedding photographer.

Here’s a super-condensed version of what has transpired:

In August 2006 we hired Kristy Cummings to shoot our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, I had no problems communicating…

My new in-laws!

These are some of my most favorite pictures of them all! In theory, Kristy is working on editing several more for us, too.

After a short receiving line….

(or is it preceedings?  No, I think it’s proceedings.)

We just got our wedding video in the mail today, and it was *amazing*!  Our videographer, Heather Attig, captured the entire ceremony, all the ’important bits’ of the reception (toasts, cake cutting, first dance, etc), and interviews with our friends and family.  It was a great deal for the price we paid, and we loved that we got to assemble it ’a la carte’–she gave…
