2009 Bride's Choice Award!!

This was a nice suprise:-)

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that Carrie Wildes Photography has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!
In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US. That means Carrie Wildes Photography is one of the very best photographers.
Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews.
“We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

Carrie Wildes Photography would like to thank our past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award!

Brandy + Shawn E-session Sneaks!

Here's a few pics Brandy and Shawn's E-session this past weekend. It was at a beautiful place called Bella Collina near Lake Apopka. It's one of the Ginn properties, thank you to Jackie for allowing us to use this as the backdrop! There were so many neat places there, the arches, fountains, overlook to the lake, and the view of the sunset was amazing! You feel like you are in Tuscany, not FL:-) This one was especially fun for 2 reasons. I met Brandy our freshman year of college at Purdue, we lived right next to each other in Earhart hall and since we both majored in the same thing we basically had all the same classes. I haven't seen her since we graduated so it was so much fun catching up! The other reason is that Arami from Elegante Films did an engagement session video as well, so I am super excited to see that!! You will see a couple shots of him in action, thanks Arami!!! I can't wait for their wedding in April, in Jamaica, it's going to be a blast!!!

The stable was decorated with red and brown and there was great food (including my favorite red velvet cake from Publix:-) and entertainment as you'll see below.
