Ben and Aileen's Wedding: Part Two. Today’s post might be a long one, but we hope you forgive us for that! Click here to see part one. Our venue was the Beau Lodge, a gorgeous 70-acre property surrounded by woods. As soon as we visited it, we knew that it was perfect! For our guestbook, we had guests fill out notecards with advice, memories, or well wishes. We made the programs (and invitations and all the paper signs) ourselves. We used a little vintage suitcase to hold the programs. Ben and I got married in front of a mossy apple tree–it’s wasn’t the typical ceremony spot at our venue, but we loved it. Right after our ceremony, we had all of our guests take pictures at our photobooth.
We had some fun at the photobooth ourselves! The food was amazing, if we do say so ourselves! My mom made the punch, which was really good, and I couldn’t resist getting some striped paper straws! For our centerpieces, we laid out paper doilies as runners and stacked vintage books that I had collected from thrift stores. Whew! Oklahoma DIY Wedding For Book Lovers.

Your wedding photography is a really important element of the day; it will capture the moments, the emotions and the personality of the day. It is also a very personal decision; people have very set ideas on whether they are looking for reportage or posed shots – or in fact a combination of the two.
And your choice of photographer will be influenced by this. With this in mind, when choosing your photographer it is important that you consider your must-have shot list because this can be a huge indicator of the style you are looking for. I would definitely recommend that you spend some time looking at different shots and deciding what fits with your own particular style. You can then share this with your own photographer and see what unique and personal shots you can come up with together. I have spent some time scouring the internet for some must-have shot inspiration so I wanted to share some of these with you, feast your eyes on this….
