Here's what I want to accomplish with this blog. I basically want to catalog how we put together our wedding for around $5000. There is no way in heaven that we could have had the help we did without generous gifts from family and friends. I will explain in each subsequent post. I will be linking to all the people who helped us because they are all amazing at their jobs! Their businesses deserve your business, so if I can help them in any way I can, I will.
First, I will start with our photographer. Her name is Allison Taylor and her business is www.allichellephotography.com. Please visit her site and hire her! She is amazing. I start with her because I wouldn't be able to show you any of my wedding without her beautiful and stunning photography.
This is Allison, a cute shot taken by my 9-year-old nephew. He took 3 pictures at our wedding. Two were of us and the 3rd was of "this other girl who had a really big camera." This is the only picture of Allison I can find from our wedding day.
We were her first wedding that she photographed entirely by herself, so we got her for a bargain price. She has since raised her prices (as she should!) and let me tell you, she is worth every penny. Since the wedding, she's told me that she learned a lot from our wedding, so imagine that your pictures would be even better than ours! Here is a sampling of her photos. As I continue to add things to this blog about different aspects of the wedding, keep in mind that all of the pictures were taken by Allison unless noted.

Allison took many shots of little details here and there. This name plaque was on our gift table.
These two shots showcased the bouquet (I have many more bouquet shots to come when I post about my amazing bridesmaids...). This is my cutie husband and what we call my "sassy bride" photo.
This is a super cute one of our rings and chins. While I wouldn't have thought my chin could ever look skinny, I feel like it looks quite good in this shot. The rings look fab, too!
And I thought this is just a lovely shot of my new mother-in-law, Tamera. She looks so graceful and gorgeous in this picture. Yay for Allison for capturing that moment because I think she was quite stressed on the day of the big event.
Allison did a fantastic job at capturing the great moments on this day. Check her out:
