If you are getting engagement photo's, make sure that the engagement photo person is your main photographer. You don't want 2 different people because if you love your E-Pics, you might be disappointed if they switch it up for your wedding day.

Thanks girls! Turned out to be a bad experience. I hate to sound like a bridezilla but i know what i want for my pictures. I love the journalistic shots and i dont want cookie cutter pics that everyone and their great grandmother has had in their albums since 1900.

So i ask him if he can do those type of shots and he says he can but only if theres time after he gets 'HIS' shots. Uh hello, its MY wedding. Who is paying who here????????

Sorry for the rant. Am i being a bridezilla?

I don't think you're a bridezilla at all! You should get the kind of shots you want and have him also use his style of work. Check out Benchwerk if you're still looking for a photographer - they're amaaazing. FM me if you have any questions at all.

Make sure they have no plans of selling their business. It happened to my sister...and it was a terrible situation. The new owners did not want to release any photos/video because the last owner took all of the money that my sister paid. It was crazy, and it was a reputable business.

Always look up the companies on the Better Business Bureau to confirm that they do not have any bad reviews.

P.S. sorry your first photo appointment was terrible.... :(. They will definitely improve. Then you will be stuck trying to choose between 3-4 great ones.

Re: photographer questions

make sure you ask if you want to upgrade to the next package what the price would be and have the option written on the contract.. or if you want to get a few extras in the album instead of bumping up to the next package that its at the same price as the package now.
