Listen, I am rather new to this whole "DisBoards" thing. My wife Disney Bride Toni has been around these parts for sometime (as most of you may know.)
Anyway I have been meaning to come on these boards and give my position on my favorite thing about our wedding.
Hands down it was Misty and Nellio.
I have been apart of weddings in the past where I wanted to STRANGLE the photographers. Every two seconds they were dragging us all over the place. With Misty and Nellio they are also taking MANY MANY Photos, but it just never felt like a strain.
Now, remember, this is all coming from a Groom's perspective. Ever since the wedding was completed I thought on numerous occassions that the wedding photography is a job for a woman. Not to sound sexiest in ANYWAY. Let me elaborate on that comment. A guy has NO idea what a woman is looking for on her wedding day. Look at your fiance's now. Tell me how many times during the planning part do they look at you and say, "Why do we need this or that?" See, guys just dont get it when it comes to weddings. (Not all but 95% yes.) I was ready to have Toni getting silk flowers because I had no idea why she had to have real. Or the cake, I wanted to get the cheapest because to me, A cake is a cake and why do I want to pay $1,000 dollars for something that will taste nothing like a Tastykake (Philly people know what I'm talking about here).
So what I am getting at is this. I was happy afterwards looking back at the photos because Misty took shots we had no clue she was taking. Why? Because she knew Toni would appreciete them.
Also, I love to draw. I have since I was a little kid. so I have an eye for artistic things. I can look at things and know they look good in a particular way. Sometimes I dont know why that it, I just do. I have always just chalked it off as my "artistic eye". This is hard to explain unless you understand. But Misty? She has that eye. She took photos that just came out AMAZING. If you saw our photos, the ones she took back at where we stayed during our honeymoon (The Wilderness Lodge) were and are utterly BREATH TAKING!! I felt like we were on the set of King Kong with the way it was all taken. While we were taking the photos Misty kept saying, "Oh my God, these are going to be so awesome. Just bear with me please. Please be patient these will be worth it." With that said, anyone who saw those pics can not argue. They were awesome.
On a final note, Misty did something no diet pill can EVER do. She made me thin. On a serious note. She photoshopped some of the photos of just me and I can honestly say she made me look handsome. I dont feel like I am a "hot" guy. I think I look good, but I am not a guy who has much self confidence when it comes to my body. Yet when I got the photos. Although I never said it outloud I thought to myself, "Man. I think I look good. Thanks Misty."
Ok, so let me wrap up this mile long diatribe here.
My point here is this. If you are currently shopping for a photographer. Misty is the person you NEED to have. She has a great personality. Herself and her husband Nellio are very kind hearted and sincere people. They really make you feel comfortable and constantly go out of their way to make you feel special. She also does the little things that most photographers NEVER think about.
Quick final story: My niece was playing with a little pen and pad thing similiar to an etch-a-sketch. Misty saw that and said "Can I take this for a moment." She wrote on it B + T with a heart on it. She then handed it back to my niece and took a photo of her with it in hand like she was drawing it. As if it were a candid shot. Toni and I never knew it until we got our photos from Misty. I just thought it was a cute picture and it was cool how Misty just did it on the "fly".
So with that, Thank you Misty and Nellio. You guys made our Wedding Day one that we can never ever begin to forget.
P.S. Thanks for allowing me to ramble a bit. Hope this helps you ladies a little bit.
