Tomorrow ...my first appt is with Jacquie Lew Photography and the second is with Jadore Love photography, I,m excited b/c I've really been slacking with the planning lately, but now I'm back on track. This may sound crazy but is there any particular questions i should be asking when i meet with them?
Edited b/c i put the wrong emotion icon lol
UPDATED
So i met with both photographers today and now im torn between the two. Jacquie Lew was so nice and we had a great connection and we were very impressed with her work. She also had really great and packages that were very,very reasonable. We also met with Jenn & Efrain (very nice couple) from Jadore Love photography and we were floored with their work but the pricing was alittle higher. IDK what to do now b/c i like Jacquie b/c she was sooooo sweet and she is within my budget, however i think i like Jadore work a little more. Is it all about the connection with your photographer or more about their work? or both??

I think the connection is really important. This person is going to be around you ALL day long...on the most emotional day of your life. I would want someone that I like ALOT. But the work is important to. I lucked out and my photographer was my favorite person and the work I liked best. Have you looked into Imagine Studios? Not to make your search harder-- but Lia is amazing!
ITA!! Lia is great! She is so sweet and I feel very comfortable around her. She also does amazing work! You should def look into Imagine Studios.

Have you spoken to J'Adore about your budget? We did, and they definitely helped us out. See if maybe you can get your albums later or something like that to lower the up front cost.
They are awesome--yay J'Adore!!

Re: Meeting with two photographers...UPDATED
I think its both. You have to be realistic about your budget but you also have to have a great connection with your photographer. Remember everything is negotiable and if the photographer you like can't negotiate a price that you are comfortable with, then I say go with the one you can afford. The thing about Jacquie is that she can def imitate any style photography you want. Show her some of the work that you like from the other photographer and she will know what style that is and she can re-create that for you. Remember, you won't get the same picture poses per say but the look and feel of the pics can be matched. Good luck!

i think a photographer is something you should try to splurge on a bit simply because in the end that is all you are left with! you should definitely base your decision on the work and maybe cut back on other things for the wedding to be able to pay for the photographer you want.
