As I mentioned, she had her vendors set up a mock-ceremony site, where Jessica walked us through how she generally covers a ceremony ….

And made the models (Sean and Brianne) go through ‘the kiss’ a couple times :)

THESE (below) are the kind of scrumptious details that magazine editors go wild over …

As I mentioned before, there was quite a few people, so I wasn’t able to get *quite* the same and amount of angles/images I would have liked…. but I’m still happy with the images I got …

Here’s the beginning. There will be more. Oh yes. There will be more.

So, you can imagine how incredibly excited I’ve been for the last couple months anticipating attending one of her wedding photography workshops (which I have only ever heard good things about).

Tuesday I drove (way way) down to Orange County to meet about 15 or 20 different photographers, talk about owning and running a wedding photography business, and watch and learn as Jessica shoots through a mock-wedding.

And, oh my word, that styled shoot was GORGEOUS.

You’ll see.

For now, just a quick sneak peek. I have a ton of images to go through (want to make sure our fantastic and patient models Sean and Brianne Walker get some images) …

And super huge thanks to the vendors that put this together and all did an amazing job to make this styled shoot look flawless:

True story : *almost* moved to tears when I saw her in the first time. Seriously. Gorgeous dress. Gorgeous girl. PERFECT style dress for her.

You’ll see.

In 5 months from tomorrow.

But, I thought I’d tell you a little bit about her experience, in case it helps other brides and grooms out there shopping for their attire, dealing with vendors and other details of wedding planning ….

{FYI: Kaitlin is my husband’s sister and I will be her maid-of-honor at her wedding in August. Jamie Delaine will photograph.}

Kaitlin lives in Orange County. Just south of Los Angeles. Both are homes to fancy-schmancy-high-end-bridal-boutique. She has PLENTY of lovely bridal boutiques to choose from. Plenty.

But, like any bride, she looks for her wedding dress wherever she is.

When we were in Idaho for Chris and Nichole’s wedding, Kaitlin went to this tiny storefront wedding dress shop (if my memory serves me correct, it was Affordable Elegance Bridal in Couer d’Alene).

Here’s the amazing thing about this bridal shop : Kaitlin felt taken-care-of by the attendant. Even though we/she didn’t have an appointment, we were able to walk in and get help promptly, efficiently and thoroughly. The attendant even suggested Kaitlin try on a crinoline even though she didn’t think of it herself.

Katie went into that shop 3 times during her visit. And on the last one she ordered her dress.

Even though it was in a shop a million miles away from her home and wedding (give or take).

That’s OK. Katie was in love with the dress and confident in the vendor.

And, girls, here’s the lesson. If you don’t feel valued by a vendor when they are still *trying* to get your business, how are they going to treat you as it gets closer to the wedding date?

Choose a florist who is genuinely interested in your vision for your wedding day and not just one who will press upon you flowers that are trendy or cheap or otherwise. Choose an officiant who makes you feel comfortable. Choose a wedding dress from a vendor you can TRUST to get you the dress you ordered and on time.

You’re worth it.

Was it as gorgeous as I’m picturing?

A week or so, Angela wanted to visit Greystone Mansion (she’s helping a friend plan her wedding) and I tagged along.

And I’m so so glad I did.

Also : glad we got there right at sunset. The light coming over the hill, at the ‘golden hour’ before sunset just added to the romance and magic of this big stone, garden Los Angeles wedding venue.

I love the walls and the textures. I love the lines made by the walls, the paths, the stairs, the trees. I love the hidden corners every where you turn that remind me of The Secret Garden.

Love this wedding venue!

Genius, really.

and I 100% agree. Because the photographer is one of the only vendors that will be hanging out with you during your entire wedding day it is MOST important that you feel comfortable with, like and trust him or her.

So I know I’m a little bias on this one but I honestly don’t think every bride out there is right for me or me right for them. So how do you find the best wedding photographer for you?

Three simple pieces of advice:

1 – Make sure that when you view their photos, you FEEL something. You are hiring an artist with a specific eye and heart. You want to resonate with how they see and capture the world around them–specifically relationships.

2 – Ask to view an entire weddings worth of photos–the proofs. Any photographer can show you a slideshow of their best 50 photos they’ve ever shot and you will be impressed. But that won’t give you a good sense for what your wedding photos will look like. You want to make sure they have good quality photos throughout the course of one entire wedding.

3 – Make sure you like them as a person. Whoever you pick to be your photographer is going to be around you and your family for many hours on the best day of your life. So you want to feel comfortable with them and most of all, be able to TRUST them.

I love it when clients are willing to hire me just from viewing my website. This means that not only do they like my images and my work, but that my blog posts and personality is apparent enough for them to feel comfortable sharing their day with me.

I am ALWAYS available to meet with my brides and grooms. Either during the interviewing, looking-for-a-photographer stage, or afterward to discuss wedding details. Love it. Any time.

Let me know if there are questions!

P.S. re: #2 – feel free to visit the Teegan Photography proofing site. There are 2 full weddings available for viewing, as well as at least 1 portrait session so you can see the full collection of what was delivered to the clients.

So, I think it is time to admit that I am a ‘wedding junkie’

Way back in summer of 2007 when some lovely dear friends of ours were planning their wedding, she introduced me to Style Me Pretty, which led me to all of the other many many many wedding planning blogs out there.

With Google Reader I’m able to follow …. 12? 15 of them? Something ridiculous like that.

So much good stuff. So much eye candy. So much inspiration for my ‘next’ wedding (that’s what I keep telling Andrew, at least) :)

One of the blogs that tends to be consistently useful and helpful to brides is Blue Orchid Designs – by Liene Stevens

She recently released a Wedding Vendor Hiring Guide … as well as a Wedding Linen Guide for brides …

Both are free, pdf ebooks that you can download directly to your computer and either keep electronically or print out (to take with you to vendor meetings, etc).

I’ve already looked through the Vendor Hiring Guide – really great info. Especially for all you brides/grooms who have 18 million things to do to plan your wedding. This guide concisely brings all the details that you need to think about together.

Take a look – be sure to let Liene know what you think …. I hope this is really helpful for you all!
