Wedding Photographer

We are super excited to say that we were able to get Meg Baisden as our wedding photographer! (Yay! Hooray! Oh Boy! Yippee!  Hot Digity Dog!)

They are a husband & wife duo- so we get two professional photographers!  Meg has the talent and Charles has the brains (but I think they equally have both).  Charles teaches a photography class and Meg takes that best pictures ever. 

Did you look at their website yet?  Her (or his pictures- they website doesn't label which ones are Charles and which are Meg's) gives you an emotional feel of the people in the pictures.  It's a good feeling that seems to capture key moment so perfectly.

We took a long time to narrow down our wedding photographer.  At first, we were considering flying someone down from Chicago.  We then decided to use local photographers as they were more used to taking local scenary and beach weddings.  We also looked through a ton of websites for Florida photographers and even spoke to some of them on the phone to get a feel for their style. 

After narrowing down our choices for our favorite Florida photographer (Meg Braisden), we emailed them in early October to inquire their availability and they responded back immediately- They were going to be available for our wedding day!  No only that, since they had engagements in Panama City Beach on Friday and Sunday of our wedding weekend, they were going to give us a deal on the wedding package.  How awesome are they?  We think incredibly awesome!

We plan to meet Meg and Charles in late January 2012 when we go down to Florida to check out our wedding venue, cakery, and florist.  Their awesomeness score goes even higher in our eyes as they are willing to take a weekend day out of their busy schedule to have meet with us in January.  It will be at this time we confess our fears of candid photos (see engagement picture blog for details on candid shots).  In the meantime, we are practicing our wedding picture cheesy smiles.

We are so blessed to get Meg & Charles- it worked out so perfectly that we not only got the photographer we really wanted, but they also happen to be familiar with Panama City Beach so we are sure to get great pictures!
