Old friends are the best to photograph

August 24, 2010

Here's another amazing review left for us on WeddingWire. Thanks so much Marianne!


I have known Deanna Wallace for a good number of years, so I felt bad springing a last minute booking on her. I enjoyed seeing her work while planning my wedding but had already asked someone else. My wedding was May 15, 2010 and my previous photographer canceled around January/February. I was living in Maryland at the time, Deanna in New York and the wedding in Ohio (the groom originally from Ohio). I asked myself, "where am I going to find a photographer now without having to travel all the way to Ohio?". Keep in mind that both my husband and I were in the middle of a job transfer to Hawai'i. So, I thought what does a phone call hurt, the worst she could say is no. But, she was enthusiastically willing to do it--travel and all!!!

We were able to do everything using that great invention technology, and even evolved our photo album into something more advanced a DVD!!! Dee recently wrote to me saying that she does the formal pictures and poses because that is a traditional part of any wedding. The pictures that arise from emotion and family stories, are why she is in the wedding. Not only will our energetic lady capture the moments that you think about, but she will also find those that you may have missed while greeting the new family. It may be difficult to rationalize the expenditure but think of it this way, by you spending the money you are guaranteed a quality product with friendly service that everyone will be able to enjoy.

Best of luck to all the brides that are reading my review. I know that you do not know me from a hill of beans but take my word that you will not be disappointed with your selection of Visually Deelicious as your photographer.


Marianne and I grew up attending high school together. We tooted our saxophones and played soccer, so I knew there would be a lot of laughter and good times while I photographed. I could post oodles of beautiful images of Marianne because she's ridiculously photogenic (I'm not kidding, this girl does not take a bad pic), but I thought I would highlight my favorite moment of the day.


While photographing her as she prepared for the ceremony, I asked a simple question with the lens to my face to capture her response. This wasn't what I was expecting but was even more perfect.


"So Marianne, are you excited you're getting married?!"

Priceless.


(PS. I'm pretty sure this was her thinking face because she was trying to sum up her emotions into a words. She was soooooooooooo totally pumped to get married!)

Marianne: (08.26.10 - 1:32 am) You are correct, there were a lot of laughs that day. In fact, they continue on even after the event. I wish I could explain this but I do not even remember what I was thinking while producing this face. What a riot!!!
