Southern Weddings

My little brother would be my first choice. He is absolutely the most artistically talented person I have ever met. From the time he was old enough to start drawing through his high school art elective classes, he has excelled in any art form he’s attempted. Whether it’s picking up random musical instruments and teaching himself to play, to being a natural on a pottery wheel, he is just a gifted individual.And I love the Camera Renter idea – an impressive step up from disposable cameras on the table!

My brother! He took our engagement photos. And while we don’t want him working our wedding, he would snap some great candid shots.

I would have this guy I went to school with take "artsy" pictures. No one is posed, centered, or even a full body in some cases. It’s about shadows and a more abstract approach.

I’m most looking forward to getting candid shots of me and my fiance having our first look. That’s something that stays with you forever. As for the ceremony, I’ll probably be rocking an ugly cry face :)

I’m most looking forward to documenting the pre-wedding activities. The men getting ready and clowning around. The ladies with me at the spa, brunch, goofing off while being girly. These are moments that I think capture the true essence of our closest family and friends before the mayhem.

I think I am looking forward to seeing the pictures of my guests the most! The ones with my dad just enjoying himself dancing with my mom or the one when I tell Sean to ask my grandmother to dance and she can’t say no because its my wedding! Oh and the pictures of my friends who are loaners and will hang out by the bar the whole time. I don’t want to miss any of those moments while I’m talking to my crazy aunt about her deaf dog (and don’t get me wrong I love that dog!)

I’m most excited about our "first look" shot. Just seeing my future husband dress in his kilt (Scotish Wedding) will be amazing. I also think having us walking behind the bagpiper as we’re walking out of the chapel will be a great picure as well.

I would love to have pictures of little moments at the wedding that I won’t see and that the photographer won’t necessarily capture. Relatives talking, old friends dancing, little kids being funny as they are wont to do, etc. Thanks for having this awesome giveaway!

What a neat idea! I love getting the candid shots that our guests would take that the photographer might miss. Some of my cousin’s favorite shots from their wedding were taken by the guests- and I think the renting idea is neat! I also want pictures of my fiance as the church doors open- it’s a long aisle for my dad and I to walk down and I want his expression captured when he sees me!

Those little moments of us looking at each other throughout the night.

What an amazing giveaway! There are so many different moments I want to capture from the wedding day- its hard to pick just one. After lots of thought, I think the moment I am most looking forward to is our first dance as husband & wife. We are getting married on the 4th of july weekend, so our guests are going to be holding sparklers while we dance. I have a feeling it is going to be one of my most favorite moments of the day <3

i am actually mother of the bride. i have used disposable cameras in the past at weddings and it was fun to see different views of the weddings, i would love to see my daughter’s face as she says her vows to her husband as the girl always faces away from her parents in traditional church weddings!

I am looking forward to documenting the reception the most. I going for a very romantic setting and I think it will be a lot of fun to have all of my family and friends together sharing our first moments together as husband and wife. I want to be able to look back at that special time and say," So that’s what my mom was up to when I couldn’t find her! lol" I don’t want to miss a moment of that first night with everone I love near!

I would love to have lots of pictures of later in the night, and at the after party. Our photographers leave earlier in the night, so we would love to have plenty of pictures even after they leave!

The getting ready part. I’ll have my best friends and family all in one house. We are going to have so much fun, and I know I’ll be anxious like crazy! I want to document it all and share all those moments of anticipation with my future husband and laugh about the wonderful day for years to come.

First – what a great idea for capturing every moment at your wedding. AMAZING.Hmmm…so many moments to look forward to! But, I am really excited about dancing with my dad. We have narrowed it down to 2 songs, both by James Brown – "Ants in My Pants (and I need to Dance)" and "Get on the Good Foot". Should be entertaining, and I am sure we will have plenty of people joining in!

I can’t wait to get our first look captured. It is going to be the best moment, next to officially being pronounced man and wife, of the day to see her for the first time.

Ardent Photography’s ring shot. Beautiful!

what a cool giveaway!i am most looking forward to the ceremony being documented. i’ve been to a lot of weddings in my life and am always moved by the ceremony. i can’t wait to see what our intimate ceremony will look like through the eyes of our family and friends!

Hmm! I’m most looking forward to documenting us saying our vows! It’s probably the MOST important part of the wedding and I will want to look back and hear our promises to each other over and over from now until forever! When we have kids one day, I think it will be something special for them to see too!! Ahh! I can’t wait!

My family is so important to me, that the best part of the day will be the little surprises thrown in that will incorporate all of them…from blending of both of our families, to sharing family recipes in a cookbook as favors, and honoring our loved ones who have passed (including his mother who passed away from breast cancer). We have decided to get married at a summer camp to make it more like a family reunion, and I can’t wait for the moment to come when we’re standing in front of the beautiful cross on the edge of the lake in front of our families and friends (and those looking down from above) and finally become husband and wife.

The moment I’m most looking forward to seeing is my Mom’s face. I’m the first of my siblings to get married, and I’m over 40! She’s waited a long, long time!
