Progress

Things are starting to move forward in our wedding planning adventures! We have selected wonderful wedding photographer's who we met with yesterday over at Moe's Irish pub. Simon & Jake of Valo Photography [ http://www.valophotography.com/ ] does some pretty AMAZING things with a camera and I can not wait to work with them on our engagement session and wedding! I have been following there blog's for a couple months now and I really respect them as artist's and the work they have done together. As a photographer, I knew I would be rather picky about this one key element of the planning, but I have to say that I feel very confident in our choice! I am sure they will do a GREAT job and bring a lot of fun to the event!

In just a little over a week we plan to meet with Jeff Bass who owns the theater we plan to marry in and take a look at it & discuss the details of the wedding. I have seen it once before when I did a photo shoot a couple years ago, but Jeffery has not, so this is going to be pretty exciting for him to gain a better understanding of how this will all be set up and play out.

Then there are the "Save The Date" cards that we plan to start working on this week which I am really excited about! I would like to get them out by the end of April at the latest, so we are currently coming up with ideas that will fit with our theme. Jeffery and I have got a few good ideas and concepts sketched out so it’s just a matter of selecting one and starting to design them! So far I think this has been my favorite thing to plan with him because we have been able to let our creativity out and bounce ideas off one another. It is always a lot of fun to collaborate and it’s extra special when you get to collaborate with someone you love!

All in all, I am very pleased so far with how this is all going and I know there is still plenty to do, but in all honesty, I don’t feel to stressed out about it. I am looking forward to ordering my dress next now that I have made it to my goal weight and feel confident in the size I will need to order. I look forward to booking our tickets to Hawaii and though I am NOT looking forward to the flight AT ALL, I know it will be magnificent and I am very excited to spend a week on the beach drinking Mia Thai’s, surfing in the crystal blue waters, walking on a volcano and scuba diving with sting rays! :D

There is a lot to look forward to and it's really starting to get me pumped for this summer/fall which is shaping up to be one of the GREATEST one's of all time!
