The wedding day for the bride and groom is definitely one of the most memorable days of their lives. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have the best memory to remember all the wonderful details that I know will unfold. So naturally, I wanted to find a photographer who could capture every lovely detail of our special day, including those candid moments of us, our beloved family and guests. There are so many truly talented photographers out there and as a planner, I know that the photographer is one of the most difficult decisions that a couple has to make in the wedding planning process. Who to choose? Oy – what a dilemma! What I thought was going to be a long and timely decision, actually ended up being a case of Love at First Sight!
Meet our photographer Brandon from Brandon Kidd Photography .
I’ve always been a fan of his work and Josh couldn’t stop ogling his photos (ok, I admit, maybe the ogling was me). But it wasn’t just his gorgeous photos we fell in love with. His energy, passion, commitment, and his overall kind and gentle nature just won us over immediately. We knew instantly he was “the one”! We are so honored to have Brandon capture our wedding day!
It was truly a difficult task choosing my faves, but here are some for your viewing pleasure (you can check out more of his photos on his blog)!

One of our lovely lovely former brides who has a passion for weddings and killer sense of style could not, like many other brides out there, leave the wedding industry behind. Armed with a plethora of knowledge, Ilane (you can check out her GORGEOUS wedding here) was asked to co-author the site Love, Love Me Do by the fab creator Clarie.
This blog features giveaways, gorgeous real weddings, ideas, interviews and get this – a wedding planning manual e-book : FREE!
