Who will photograph our wedding? This question was answered before it was even asked! We booked
Ashley Daniell Photography pretty quickly and I am so excited to work with her (again!) on our big day.
Ashley and I met years ago through work. Although she has a "day job," her real passion is photography. Bridesmaid Runner hired Ashley for her July 2011 wedding and I decided pretty much then and there that Ashley would shoot my wedding (whenever
that would happen!). She was such a pleasure to work with and she even made the best of the horrible rain that showed up on Runner's wedding day.
Although the rain cleared up by the time the wedding started, it stuck around long enough to (mostly) ruin the portraits. Well, Ashley was not about to let that happen - so she did another session with the bride and groom the next day!
Their photos from the next day are some of my favorites, probably because they are more relaxed. The sun is shining, they are already married, and these are just bonus photos.
A few months later Ashley offered mini portrait sessions, which is basically a 30 minute session and you get 15 or so images to use as you like. I decided to take Mr. B's kids to a session so we could take some photos for what would eventually be a Christmas present. Ashley made the kids feel at ease and we got some amazing photos. Mr. B was blown away! At the end of the blog post she did of the session, she wrote:
They were so sweet to each other!! It was awesome! And I had an amazing time with them! Until next time . . . :-)
She knew what she meant. I knew what she meant. And a year later we made it official and booked her as our photographer! I did not need any more convincing than the first-hand experiences I had with her, but just for fun here are some of my favorite images of hers.
That was probably the easiest decision we made! I know she will make us feel at ease on the big day and I can't wait to see what beautiful moments she captures.
How did you decide on a photographer? Were there any vendors you knew you would use, even before the proposal?
