a vendor you already booked. I booked a photojournalistic photog back in November and now I am wondering if I made the right choice. I def want photojournalsitic pics, but I am worried I won't get a lot of the traditional shots I want too. She already said she doesn't take 'must take' photo lists that she's a professional and will take all the great moment shots. I loooove her pj work but want traditional pics too. She does take some of those pics but not many. Any suggestions???

Sorry, I don't agree with that attitude 'I don't take must-take photo lists.' YOU are hiring THEM and they work for you...if you have a must-take photo list, to make sure they get all the shots you want and are paying for, then too bad for them...I would meet with her and tell her (in a nice way) that you DO have a must-take photo list and that you expcect them to be taken...and go over the photo list with her as well. I don't think you should have to hire another photog because of what she said...

Sorry, I just get mad when the vendors start telling the brides what to do....really not professional and kind of arrogant if you ask me

Perhaps she can hire a freelance photographer that is more traditional & can handle a must take list. I would run it by her. My cousin had a traditional photographer & a photojournalist. I don't see there being a problem if she is open to that. If she is not open to the idea.......than you may have a problem.

Some pros prefer to work with certain ppl. I have never seen it in a contract that 'they' will be the only Photog that day. I will def look out for that when I sign a contract tho. But even great photogs like Gail and Erica work well together. Maybe she knows someone or has an Asst who can snap your traditional pics.
