Ok, so maybe the signing of contracts isn't the most exciting blog post, but it's exciting to me to have something official, and in writing. Plus, some money put down (thank you mom and dad) that says - please don't change your mind. Don't worry - I'm not planning on changing my mind - with or without the contract. Everyday, I love Ivan more.
So, I've officially mailed the contract to Middlebury Inn and to the photographer, Randy Morris Photography.
A little about the photographer...
I had had a dream photographer, someone I was really wishing could photograph my wedding - Michelle Arlotta Photography. I had seen her blog and just fell in love with her artistic wedding photos. However, she turned out to be too expensive. Although she gave me a great price (we had a mutual friend in common), I still couldn't justify spending half my wedding budget on photos.
Enter Randy Morris. He's Middlebury's photography and has done a few weddings for them. To tell you the truth, at first I wasn't super excited. I really wanted Michelle. But, then I met Randy when I went to Middlebury and he seemed really nice and excited and creative. So, I decided to forgo Michelle and go with Randy.
Now, I super happy that I did. Randy is giving us a great price of under $1000 (8 hours of photography, a fun/formal day-after session, a photo album of proofs, a DVD with all the photos, a DVD slideshow to music, and then he loads the edited photos onto a website like SnapFish and we can order them for cheap). Plus, I'm really excited about the fun/formal session - we get to get all dressed up again and then we take photos in crazy places...like drinking coffee, ice skating, riding bikes, etc. He's really willing to work with us and go into Burlington and all kinds of stuff, which I'm really excited about.
So, in the end, I'm glad I'm going with Randy. I'm just hoping he has some special skills because I'm not very photogenic and I want at least a few good photos....
And now, I really gotta get these invitations done or no one is going to show up!!!!
