So stressed over this

So stressed over this

So this damn photographer issue keeps haunting me

After emailing back and forth I have final prices for all our choices

FH wants Cassarino because he gets the most bang for his buck

I want 12th night because you can't be his quality of pictures

In the end I know I will get what I want because FH is amazing and always makes me happy but mine [once i changed the package and added overtime] is way way way more then his choice.

Do I bite my lip and give him what he wants and save us some money or just close me eyes and go for it?

Well I think it would be nice if FH got his way on this one, plus u can use the extra $$ to splurge on something u both enjoy. JMO

I would go with Cassarino because you'll save money where you may need it somewhere else, and like the other lady said, let FH have his way on this one!

Personally, I think the style of photos between the two companies are different, so I think it depends on what you both want to see from your pictures. For example, more traditional vs. more candid.

Go with the best pictures!!!! In the end it wont matter if you saved a couple of bucks cause if you dont like your pics you will be unhappy and regret it. there are no do overs.

I feel like you shouldn't skimp on the photog. After all, pictures are going to be the biggest memory you have of your day! And I looooooooooooove 12th Night's work! Not as crazy about Cassarino, though their's is still very nice as well.

Go with quality. You will regret not doing so if your photos come back crappy or not up to par!

What's the price difference? If its something reasonable then I'd say get the photographer you love since this is an area you probably don't want to skimp on, but if its a huge difference then I don't know.

It is about 2000 dollars more to go with 12th night when all is said and done because i have to make my own save the dates and thank you cards too

deff go with the less $$$... thats a big difference to still have to make the STDs and TYs on your own!!! and on the other side you get to make the FH happy :)

we looked at Cassarino and liked them too but did you talk to Thomas Paul.... we liked his style more and he was actually less!

i would let FH have this one cause thats a lot more! You can use that for something else!

Meet with TP - i think youll like his style if you like 12th night and he was less than cassarino

Re: So stressed over this

Can you bring the $2000 down at all by skimping on thank yous and save the dates?

what prices did you get? that is a big difference!

Re: So stressed over this

i met with both, and felt that i connected more with the people at Cassarino, plus all of the photographers are different, and if you find a photographer whose work you like the most at cassarino you can request that person. i just think 2000 is a lot of money to still have to do your STD and TY.

Hmm didn't think of what the pp's mentioned- what about Thomas Paul or maybe Duet?

Re: So stressed over this

i would try and negotiate with 12th night..tell him your concern and see what he can do

however, i would go with the photog who makes you happy

Go with the best photos!! It's the only thing, along with the video, that lasts. Memory fades.
