Photography wish list.

I forget how I stumbled upon JM photography but I instantly added them to my favorites and even though since I stumbled into their land of loveliness they have switched blogs and sites maybe 3 times I keep following them around the internet like an in awe groupie.

These are the types of photographs I would gladly get another job for. They seem to be a very cool young married couple who just happen to have major talent pouring out of their cells. Oh and they seem to like good music too. Sweet.

All photos by Because JM and from their blog Today JM.

All of their work checks serious boxes on my photography hunt..except of course the price box. They don't have it posted anywhere that I can see now but I read that they start at 4000 dollars. Which is quite reasonable for something I consider to be art. I have friends that ask around that for their pieces but alas unless I decide we should elope and have lunch at a greasy spoon with two witnesses this is what I would spend the rest of my budget on.

That and a kick ass week in France.

Dream a Little Dream.

OK last call at the pity party! Last call!

The last few days have been hard. I'll admit right up front that I am not always the most...sane of people. Add some winter dreariness and I'm basically an elastic band ball of emotional turmoil. Admitting too much? Probably! Ashamed? Not really!


On with the show! Even if I don't know what exactly the acts of the show are!!! Gooooo team!

Like everyone else in the wedding blog world I too am smitten with the folks over Still Motion. It's funny because they are basically my neck of the wood's and until I read about them on an American based blog I had never heard of them! If they had a TV channel that showed just their cinematography I would happily curl up every night and tune in! I would do any thing they directed me to do! Hand stands? No problem! Jump off a cliff! You got it! Because I know the end result would be so worth it.

Alas their starting package price is basically our whole budget!(maybe even more!)

I'm a bit sad because as an artistic person one of the things I hold incredibly close to my heart is the images that will become memories. Photography and cinematography are also important to me because I have a really fickle memory. I can recall memories from my youth with incredible detail, what I said to someone minutes ago? Almost 98% of the time completely gone. I joke that my brain is like Swiss cheese, some moments are supported, others slip through the holes.

I hope that beautiful images that help me recall the details of our first day as husband and wife are not beyond the minuscule budget. I'm not even going to budget for cinematography I know that anything I would really fall in love with is far, far beyond my budget. So I'm left trying to find a photographer who captures those moments, the ones that I'll forget moments after, the ones that I'll be able to remember for the rest of my life.

Even if my original plan has been chopped down swiftly and yes, incredibly painfully, I still am determined to have a day of magic all of my own.
