Photography Crush

A few weeks back, Mom, Jay, and I met at Panera with Kristy and Jimmy Taafe of Limelight Images. We hung out for about an hour and a half, while they showed us their portfolio and asked about our plans.

We'd had every intention of shopping around for photographers, but Kristy and Jimmy seemed like a perfect fit (personality and price-wise)! So, as soon as we got home, Mom emailed Kristy to say, "YES! YES! Please shoot my daughter's wedding!" Okay, she may have phrased it a little differently.

What I like best about Kristy and Jimmy is that, while their photos are fabulous, their personalities fit us perfectly. I love that after every event--consultation, engagement session, or wedding-- one of them hops on Facebook to write something nice about the couple:

"It was great to meet up with Katie and her mom Jenny and her fiance Jay Yesterday. You take a theater major and an English teacher, throw in Deep purple and shades of green, a little star wars and some Iris, and what do you have? A kick butt wedding next July. Looking forward to it guys!!!! Thanks!"

Our engagement session is Sunday, so check their Facebook page for previews early next week.

And for a good, not completely off-topic laugh: Off Beat Bride: An open letter to wedding photographers regarding their websites.
