photography

so we have thought all along we were going to book sherwood triart. Even though I too fell in love with what I saw...I'm the level headed/ realistic one in the relationship so i told FH maybe we should still shop around because $6-7K is ALOT to spend on photography...they are deffinately not the cheaper end of the spectrum...in fact...i think they are higher than moderate prices, but I could be wrong. All the while FH insisted he didn't care, he wanted sherwood because they are amazing and his sis used them 10 yrs ago when she got married and her pictures were great. FFWD to today I'm talking with his mom about what we need to book etc. I tell her how I'm thinking maybe I should talk to him again about re-considering because the photography is whats killing our budget...I spoke to FH and he says he's deff open now to look into other photographers.

so my question is...does anyone know of a good quality photographer that does excellent work and has quick turnaround for less than the aforementioned price? (prefferably one who includes a disk of proofs in their packages)

WOW let me tell you I could have written that post myself. I went to Sherwood last week and I too feel the same way you do. FH and I were just discussing today about going to see other photographers.

I dont know if this helps but we are going to make appointments with Silver Fox and possibly Perceptions. I may have more information next week for you.

yeah ...we wanted the second photog and the parent albums...and its great but even still it seems like too much for photos. I totally get that we only have 1 chance to take these photos to last a lifetime but...we're young...we're not made of money and we're trying to do this as much as possible on our own. I know we'll make a good deal of the $ back...but still I want to think more like a wife and less like a bride...every penny saved is money we can use towards our new life together and starting a family.

i never met with thomas paul but he has nothing but raves on these boards. i spoke with him once when i considered booking with him after i cancelled my origianl photographer and he seemed really nice.

i ended up using gail chatelain and she was awesome as well and gives u all the pics on a disc without a copyright across it.
