Wedding Wednesday: And Then I Fell in Love with Our Photographer

I used to think when people gushed about their wedding photographers, they were full of it. "They are just taking pictures of you," I thought to myself, "What is the big deal and why are they posting it all over Facebook?".

That was before I spent a whole day with our wedding photographer, Melania .

Note: This is not a Melania picture, this is a picture my sister took and that I Instagrammed!

And now, please allow me the opportunity to become one of those brides that gushes about her wedding photographer.

She was awesome.

John was incredibly nervous and self conscious going in, and he let her know it. "Let me tell you how this is going to go," she said to him. "I'm going to tell you what to do a few times and then you'll figure it out." In literally six pictures, with Melania laughing and making jokes the whole time, John was a natural! I have never seen him so comfortable posing for a picture ever and I've been conning him into pictures for more than five years!

He was so comfortable I barely even had to convince him to get on this lion with me! Magical, I tell you...Melania our wedding photographer is a wizard who transformed my Fiance into a man who mounts a lion statue with me and laughs while doing it.

Note: This is not a Melania picture, this is a picture my sister took and that I Instagrammed!

We are still waiting for all of them to be posted, but if this was the only picture we got out of that day I would be totally thrilled.

End gushing.
