Today is an exciting day! After a morning discussion we chose our planner and photographer. By the end of the day we'll have chosen a venue and we can finally send out the save-the-dates!!
Our Planner Choice:
Tameka Smallwood of Blush
Tameka was wonderful to meet with and it was clear that she really loves weddings. She was very organized and had some wonderful ideas for our wedding. When we met over tea at Starbucks she was understanding and it was very clear the amount of experience she has. She also let me know about her 2 hats, one to be wonderful as she was at the meeting, and one to take care of business. She really stood out to me as the right woman for the job.

Our photographer choice:
Andrea's work really represented to me the kind of documentary art photography I would take if I were shooting a wedding. Nothing looked too posed or stereotypical. Also I didn't see a lot of repetitive shots for each wedding she did. Nothing seemed like "a normal picture" from her portfolio. They all looked very personal to that couple on their day. Her work also seemed to represent successful images of different skin tones, something that not all photographers can master.
