HI ladies,

I've taken forever and there are really only two vendors I think are relevant to review for you, since they are either in ME or will travel there. Overall, I couldn't have picked better vendors to work with. My wedding day went so smoothly and perfectly. It was amazing. All the months of planning paid off and now I recently was blogged on my photographer's site (so you can all see how it came together!): http://www.snapshotsbyclare.net/  

Clare Norton was our photographer. There really aren't enough nice words in the english language to say about Clare - not only is she amazingly talented, but she's also the nicest, sweetest, person. Personally, I think the pictures speak for themselves, but beyond that, Clare was just so great to have by our side the entire day. I would highly recommend her to anyone as a photographer. She does beautiful, beautiful work!

Aaron Topfer was our DJ and musician. He was incredible! We had him hire two other musicians for a jazz trio for cocktail and dinner hour. Honestly, that extra money was the best unnecessary purchase that we made. Everyone loved the live music! They were classy and professional. People were apparently dancing at cocktail hour to the trio. :) Then, after dinner hour, Aaron DJ'd the remainder of the reception. Aaron was the best, perfect DJ: he didn't talk over the music, wasn't obnoxious and really transformed the "suggestions" list we gave him into a night of awesome music. People were up on the dance floor before dinner service ended. Aaron kept people dancing all night long! I couldn't have picked a better DJ/musician. 

Any questions, please feel free to message me!

    Awesome!  Thanks for sharing.  I particularly like the photo of you walking down the stairs with your train all fanned out (or I think that's what the shot is that's taken from above) and the ones of you and your H with your veil blowing in the breeze.  Congrats!

    If you don't mind me asking how much did Aaron Topfer charge just to DJ? I am still looking for a DJ but I am on somewhat of a tight budget...

    Absolutely beautiful! The lighting in the church was phenomenal. Congrats on everything!

    Thanks ladies!! Sorry I'm not on here as often as I once was - it's been a busy summer. 

    Chrispygal - I'm really enjoying married life w/DH. I really love introducing him as my husband. :)  It's been wonderful! We just received our professional prints sampler album (part of Clare's amazing package). It's beautiful and I got to show it to my grandmother today which was really special. :) 

    EML - I think he was $1400, but if you paid up front it was $1100 (so we paid up front). I THINK...don't quote me on those. He is worth EVERY LAST PENNY. Honestly, I couldn't imagine a better DJ. I've been to a million weddings in the past few years (as have all my friends) and not only do I think he's the best, but everyone I've talked to about the wedding says without provocation from me that he was the best wedding DJ they've ever seen. He's just so professional, plays amazing music, and isn't super obnoxious like other DJs. 

    Abeautifulmind - you will LOVE her. She's so talented....not to mention just so wonderful as a person. We couldn't have had a better photographer by our sides!

    RE: the staircase shot - it's one of my favs! I love the one with the veil in the wind, too. (It's my FB profile pic!)
