theultimatediyer's Blue wedding

Alrighty!!! At this point in our planning we still have not decided on a photographer. I've seen many that I like and only one that I ADORE, but unfortunately *she's completely out of my budget. So the search continued when I came across this opportunity to take a "Valentines Photo Shoot" with a photographer by the name of **Dartise. I figured this special offer was a great way to see ourselves through a professionals lens. (Sidenote: I hate the way I look in pictures, so I imagine that I'm going to have a few trials of the whole engagement photo thing......I gotta get myself right for the big day.)

Anyhow, the special was only $75 and a disc of the images were released to us to do whatever we wanted with them. This deal was perfect for me becasuse I just got Photoshop on my computer and I wanted some professional photos to play around with for invitations, save-the-dates part II etc.

We have 2 more photographers that we're considering before we make a final decision. I plan to do engagement sessions with both of them before we make a decision....I'll be sure to post the results to get yalls opinions!

Oh and these photos were taken at Chicago's Navy Pier.



*The photographer that I mentioned above is Sarah Anne........she is awesome!!! Those of you who have a bigger budget should definitely check her out, she's based her in Chi city but she does travel! Check out the engagement photos on her blog I'm sure you'll love them! www.sarahannephotography.blogspot.com
