Shortly after Mikey and I got engaged last summer, we were out to dinner with my parents "talking wedding" when the question of who the photographer was going to be came up. I played it off all cool, but the truth is I had gone into this dinner with a plan. I knew EXACTLY who I wanted our wedding photographer to be, it was just a matter of convincing my parents of my awesome idea.
I waited until my parents had each had a glass of wine (so sneaky, I know!) and I said in my sweetest, most charming good daughter voice, "Well.....there is this one photographer out in California who is like totally amazing and has been such an inspiration to me both personally and as a photographer....but....(looking off longingly out the window) I'm sure she wouldn't be available anyway and it would probably be too much to fly her out here......". And then I waited. My parents looked at me. My dad looked at my mom. He looked back at me. He took a sip of wine. And then he said, "What's this photographer's name?". And BAM! I had him. And that's the second I knew I was getting Jasmine Star to shoot our wedding, because what they hadn't known is that I had already contacted her and found out that she was indeed available and willing to fly out to Philly. All I needed was mom and dad on board. :-)
Jasmine truly is awesome and Mikey and I are sooo psyched to have her shooting our wedding! She sent us out our engagement album last week and it's sooooo gorgeous! Here are a few photos:
And here are just a few images from Jasmine's blog from our engagement shoot in Las Vegas in case you missed it :-) Click here to go right to the post on Jasmine's blog to see more! She rocks!!!
I'm headed down the shore now for the annual Memorial Day weekend family reunion! Woo! Have a fantastic weekend everyone!!! :-)

I was so happy to see this post when I came to your blog this morning! The album is gorgeous! I love how you totally manipulated your parents, you are very cheeky! I hope they don't read this post. LOL! And you already know how totally jealous I am that you get J* to do your wedding. Lucky girl!
Whew...the pressure is ON now! ;) And now that I know your parents soften after a glass of wine, I'll be sure to bring a bottle to the wedding because it'll make my pictures look way better!! :)
Your Insane Photographer,

I'm so giddy for you! I think us photographers totally understand the giddiness of getting someone totally amazing like Jasmine to photograph your wedding.
Your engagement album is totally rockin'! I love it!
