The Engagement Photos (Dan McPhee)
We decided to make them b/w ourselves
(PS Make sure you never uses eckerds for their photo cd's... I have to go somewhere else with the negatives to fix what they did)

One of my faves

Good color shot

I love Mike's face in this one

We think this one is our final "true" engagement pic

A good shot of my blue eyes

This could have been really cute had Eckerd's not messed up my prints... grrr

My DIY e-party favors... potpurri organza bags

My DIY MOH and BM sample Thank You Cards

My DIY cake servers for my e-party

My birdcage cardholder (another DIY project)

MY STD
Bear in mind that the outer wrap is a lavendar type of color and a grape ribbon with silver handwriting... All said and done, each STD cost about $0.10 each. I couldn't believe it when I figured it out... I used Vistaprint for the free business cards, went to AC Moore for the paper which was on sale for $0.06 and cut it in half, used a silver marker pen, then punched square holes, and put a piece of grape colored ribbon (which was AC Moore $0.44 a roll) through the holes and tied it shut. The best DIY project yet I think...

Ceremony Location - Chapel of Our Lady Restoration Cold Spring, NY

Comments/Reviews: Janet is the sweetest person in the world. Has been accomadating even though there was another couple booked for the time we had originally wanted. Very old historic "meeting house" non-denominational chapel (exactly what we were looking for).

Officiant - Father Richard Hasselbach

Comments/Reviews: He has been great so far to work with. He's very personable and definitly put my fiance and I at ease. Plus he wants us to do more of a Jewish wedding which was what we were toying around with anyway....

Reception Location - The West Point Club West Point, NY

Comments/Reviews: Hudson Room -So far so good. Nancy has been great to work with, even moved our reception for us to 3 when the chapel had already been booked for the ceremony time we would need for a 5-10 pm reception.... Also, any meals we have ever eaten there have been great! Will update once we've had a formal food tasting.

Florist - NONE

Comments/Reviews: We aren't using... I prefer silk flowers for bouquets and pew bows so I will be making my own and using candles and silk flowers for the reception.

Photographer - Dan McPhee Sheer Photography

Comments/Reviews: Comments/Reviews: We just booked him but he seems very good, reasonably priced, and genuinely loves his job. He does shoot in film format, which I was a little leary of, but he is so nice and his pics in his studio looked lovely so we went with him anyway. His engagement pics have turned out great, but Eckerd's messed up the photo cd so now I have to take the negatives elsewhere. That's not his fault though!!!

Disc Jockey - Bill Beale from Surround Sound

Comments/Reviews:

Musicians - Joe Bertolozzi on piano...

Comments/Reviews: He comes highly recommended and has been great to work with so far!!!

Transportation -

Invitations - AC Moore Wilton Happy Day

Comments/Reviews: ... I will print them myselves but they are so pretty

Tuxedos - Most Likely Christopher's in the Poughkeepsie Galleria... Now I think we are going with black suits instead

Comments/Reviews:

My Dress - David's Bridal

Comments/Reviews:I worked with Jen last year and she was wonderful. I bought the dress, veil, slip, and bra right on the spot once I found a dress I loved. Another time I went looking for a formal dress for a wedding I was going to I went on a Saturday (big mistake) and was sort of left on my own. If you are going, go during a weekday. (PS We are using our own seamstress for alterations).
