Traveling Photographs

Perhaps the most important vendor at a wedding is the photographer. And here is why Melissa at Organic Photographs is the perfect photographer for us...

1. She's an award-winning photojournalist specializing in weddings
2. She shot some very fun pics of our friends Andrea & Dave having a leaf-fight in their wedding attire, so she's creative!
3. She's traveling clear across the country from her homestate of California to be at our wedding
4. Plus, she might be traveling half-way around the country to shoot our engagement photos in China!

On that last point...

I accepted a temporary relocation to Hong Kong for work, and Brenda will visit in March. It turns out that Melissa has plans to visit Beijing around then, so hopefully we can all meet up for engagement photos on the great wall of china or some other exotic location!

Until I return home in May, B and I are virtually wedding-organizing. Our two biggest aids have been Skype for making free calls over the internet, and Google Spreadsheets for maintaining our wedding-organizing spreadsheets. I know it doesn't sound romantic, but I'm enjoying the cyber planning. It's not as sweet as holding Brenda's hand as we're talking, but with the skype videocams, I can at least look into her eyes and we can see eachother grinning and dancing about in joy at the idea of a China engagement photo session!
