Help - I Can't Decide Between Two Photographers

I met with Shira Z Photography and Imagine Studios and I can't decide which one to hire. I was hoping you ladies could help me (like you have always done in the past). I want mostly PJ pics with the some traditional pics (ie family/bridal party type stuff). Both Shira and Imagine are amazing. This is so hard. Pics are so important to me and I don't want to make the wrong decision. Please help. TIA

Sorry I can't help. I don't know anything about those photographers. Go with who your heart wants the most.

I used Shira and thought she did a phenomenal job for the price. She dealt with my crazy family and gave me such great photos.

If you like both of their work equally, go with who you like best personally -- who you would want around you on your wedding day. I don't know anything about imagine, but I had an engagement session with Shira, and she and her husband were really nice!

I don't know anything about Shira. I highly recommend Imagine Studios. Do a search on here and you'll find a lot about them. Check out the album for Belongs2danbuckley. There are several others as well.

I just booked Imagine Studios. They were by far our favorite -- after meeting with several others. Have you looked at pics from bluegreen08 and missingthebgene? Both have amazing pics! missingthebgene has fantastic photos...on a really rainy day.

I think Lia at Imagine is great and someone I would like to have around me all day. I also think she gives a real personal experience. She took my friends engagement photos more than 2 years ago...and Lia remembered her and so much about her. I feel like she really gets to know her brides!

I don't know Shira, but I really liked Imagine's work, she did a friends wedding earlier this year, and she just got her photos back, they are stunning. HTH

A friend of mine used Imagine studios and her pictures are gorgeous. They were amazing.

Is she a LIW bride? Just wondering so I could look her up and check out her pics.

I really like Shira's work. I didn't choose her because FH wanted someone more established. She's definitely an up and comer. Who would you feel most comfortable with?

I like Shira Z better but it's up to you. She did missexcited's photos and they came out amazing and since she is not as well known she won't cost as much.
