Aside from the wedding prep, I also chatted with several lovely vendors this week. Both photographers, actually. When it comes to web and blog stalking, photogs seem to be the easiest to find (and also the most chatty, which I love)!
First off, is Ryan Prins. Aletha posted some shots he took at her wedding (he was her second shooter, check out the great pics on her blog!) and I followed to his website--which is quite wonderful--to see if he travelled for my SW Michigan gals. He does! Look soon for some shots from his weddings in SW Michigan, including some additions to our barn feature I posted a few weeks ago! We got to email chatting, and I'm very excited to sit with him soon (perhaps from our respective computers)to do a little Q&A! I love chatting with people who are just starting up (though he's not new to the biz, just out doing his own thing now!). He sent me over some pictures to use for my website and blog, and I'm very excited to get them up, along with some others I've got in the works! Keep posted for some lovely photos gracing my website (which is badly in need of an overhaul---it was put up in November with the intention of more work, and got quite neglected after I took on this large wedding). So, stay tuned for more info on Ryan Prins Photography, and his experience in Southwest Michigan!
Second, is Monika Caban of MONIKA PHOTO in St. Joseph. I've been keeping up with Monika's blog for a few months(I love it because she posts lots of local pics from SJ), but since she doesn't have a comment option, I've remained a silent on-looker. Well, silent no more! I shot her an email this week, because she had a fabulous post about the history of St. Joseph as a destination wedding capital back in the day (think Vegas status) for couples from Chicago. She also had a great post about Trash the Dress, which I think is a fabulous new twist to wedding photography! I told her I wished I had done one after I got married. Her reply: "Not too late!" So, (providing my dress still fits me---married life has been very "healthy," lol) I am planning to do a complimentary shoot with her in early summer. I am oh so excited. Thank goodness I haven't cleaned my dress yet! She's looking for some interested gals, so if you are a recent bride (or will be in June!) check out her blog and shoot her an email!
