Re: Photographer Questions!!! HELP!!

I would get a sense of how friendly they are. Ask yourself: Who would I want to spend my wedding day with?

So who did you decide?

Re: Photographer Questions!!! HELP!!

I didn't.... I still can't decide...

I'm so torn between the two... I never thought it would be such a hard decision.. I think it's the hardest decision yet...

Re: Photographer Questions!!! HELP!!

So make a list of all the good and the bad for each and the prices and see which one will work better. If you want tell us who the two are and see what everyone has to say, or FM me them and see if I can help you.

Don't be sad! You're much better off having two great photographers to choose from than not liking any at all!

Hmm - maybe make a list of the pros and cons of each of them? Whose albums did you like best? Which packages are the better deal? Did you get to meet the actual photographers that you'd be working with - if so, who did you 'click' with more? Do they both take the same styles and types of photos that you're interested in? (Candid, photojournalistic, black and white, etc.) Is the quality of the photos equal? Give yourself some time to think these things over - I'm sure the answer will come to you soon!

Re: Photographer Questions!!! HELP!!

Which two are you torn between? How does your FH feel? Can you ask anyone else (mom, moh)?

Re: Photographer Questions!!! HELP!!

Thanks guys... Both of them are in Brooklyn. I really love one more than the other but it's just that they are expensive... I'm just afraid that if I spend the extra money what happens if I regret it?? I know that's probably a silly thing to say... The quality is much better with these guys too... my FH likes them better but says he doesn't know what we should do either. My mom doesn't live close by... I brought a friend with me last night but that didn't really help because she hasn't really been looking at photographers... I think it's just a matter of whether we want to spend so much on photography

Re: Photographer Questions!!! HELP!!

If it was me and I really loved one more than the other - I would go for the one that I loved. Your pictures will be your memories long after the wedding is over. (But that's just my opinion!)

Re: Photographer Questions!!! HELP!!

That's a tough one. How much of you wedding do you have planned already? How much money is left? Is there any room to negotiate with the expensive guy? What are the payment plans? How much more is it then you wanted to spend? Can you cut money from something else- like flowers? I really thing you just need to go with your heart. What did you mom say about the money?
