I can already tell from our 2 engagement parties that there is really not enough time to see everyone you want to and have quality time with them during the wedding. Everything seems to go by in a flash (a very fun flash) and you are left with a big blur of the night. I am counting on my wonderful photographer, Jerry Yoon (www.blogjerry.com) to help capture and keep our wedding in focus. To have excellent photos I think it's important to be natural but there is some planning that has to happen if you have specific images in mind. And to that end, of course, I must watch America's Next Top Model (Yes, I can "Smile with my Eyes", Thanks Tyra!) every week and read blogs and mags for inspiration. I have just started thinking about my engagement shoot with P that we are planning in a few months and that is really challenging. I want something that is really beautiful but that also represents our real life and how we live as a couple.
There will be a ton of photos of P and me but I am starting to think about all the people I want to capture during our big day. My bridesmaids are all photogenic and I have become really excited about the idea of doing a photo shoot with my BM crew before the wedding. Something evocative of travel and basically a chance to hang out together for a warm day and get a bit dressed up. I have also started looking for inspiration and I am LOVING these photos by Corrie Bond (http://www.2c.com.au/artist.cfm?ArtistID=43) and am thinking of sort of vintagey, picnicky, outdoorsy, travel thing with the chicas.
I already have some ideas of country roads that we could use, and a friend with an old(ish) Chevy Impala, a weenie dog, and a thrift store that sells cool old luggage.

I love the idea of professionally capturing not only your wedding day, but events and people leading up to your big day. It's fabulous and I can't wait to do it! I call dibs on the leaning into the trunk shot!
In addition, my new name will be Trunky BM.
