PaulaV

You are the DIY queen this month! They look great!

Thanks for the update! I want to get it! I want to run over to Target and get it, but I am stuck at home with my FI with a badly pinched nerve and my dog decided to start biting at a hotspot on his back. So we went to urgent care first thing this morning, he got a shot and feels worse. The vet is closed. Poor dog has the lamp shade on his head and I had some topical stuff for the hotspot. Nice day off we are having

Oooooh... Paula like!

Wowza! I wish he'd hurry up with the rest of them!

Kate, what was the verdict on the DVD?

I ended up buying this one: White House | Black Market - - Tropical Tank Dress I cannot wear the short little ones.

Congratulations!!! Can't wait to see pics!

Leigh, you do such beautiful work! Thank you for sharing!

Congratulations! Great pictures and you look stunning in that dress!

Great! I will hit it in my way home since our mgr is letting us out early to get a hop on the weekend traffic.

I got these for my FI from zappos (free shipping) and he loves them. We are getting them for the groomsmen.

I love it! Nicejob, and kudos to Heidi too I just signed up with WedQuarters and am ~this~ close to being done with ours.

Welcome!

I voted for #3. You really shouldn't make me cry at work you know....

I am looking into how to word this as well right now. Anyone use anything other than those already mentioned? Thanks!

Excellent Nicole!

That sounds fair. Good luck talking to her next week Drea!

Congratulations! Hope it was simply perfect

Congratulations and welcome!

Wow! I am so excited for our weddings there Jilly! And look ... there's Claudia! Thanks for sharing!

Often, photographers require extra payment to use the same photos that were printed, even if it's just a reprinting of the same article. If permission isn't granted, you could be into some serious $$$. I know it isn't the same, but your relationship is worth more... maybe she'd cut your head off in all your photos. lol Hehe! Yeah I wouldn't want that to happen to my pics! She has been a doll to work with so far and I am very excited for her to photograph our wedding. Thanks Angela!

Understood! Thank you very much Leigh!

If I can get a hold of her soon, great ... if not, do you think it would be the same case if I used a different picture from the resort's site? I was approached once by someone who wanted to use a picture of a painting of mine off an art site for a class project. I thought that was nice of them to ask and give me credit for it.

I guess this question is for those photographers on the forum... I have a STD postcard I would like to send out using a picture of the resort that I found on my photographer's site. I emailed her two weeks ago asking permission to use the picture on my STD, stating that I would be adding a link to her site and her name on the back of the postcard. If she did not allow it, I would understand. I had not heard back for a week, so I sent a follow up email a week ago. I still have not heard back which suprises me since she is usually pretty qucik in her responses. My question is, do I go ahead and get these printed up without getting her explict permission, (they are just going to my guests), or do I use a picture from the resort's website since I have to get these darn things out? Her picture is beautiful!

Congratulations!
