spinoff to QOTD

so, I think I might start to make some photog appointments while we're home for the holidays. Just a few questions for you girls.

how many photogs did you see before you made your decision?
how long do the appointments last approximately?
why did you ultimately pick the photog you booked with?

haven't had any appts with photogs yet, but just wanted to say good luck with your appts!

thanks Jessie! I know we're starting early (and most ppl think i'm nuts haha), but I just don't know how often we'll be home in the coming months. FH's school schedule looks pretty rough for next semester.

I don't think it's that early! I know I'm earlier in the year than you, but as of this past August, my photog company already had 2 other weddings booked on our day, us being their 3rd.

i dont think your starting early...just like you..im not home as often as well so i know what you mean its so hard to make your schedule and appointments..I met with one photographer over thanksgiving and i am pretty sure we are going to book with them..our appointment was about 45 -50 mins..good luck!!

We have seen about 5-6 already...I had to take a break

I want to get photos that do not look like everyone else's...thought I found it until I saw pictures from different people and they all started to look the same

We only went to meet with one photographer. I did extensive research online and fell in love with Imagine Studio's style so I already knew I wanted to book with them before the appointment. When we went we really clicked with Lia and she was so sweet so we knew we were making the right decision. It's important to feel comfortable with your photographer because they will be with you all day on one of the most important days of your life!! Our appointment was about an hour I think.

I booked Imagine Studios because I love photojournalistic style photography. I love how she mixes in some traditional photos (family shots) as well. I also love how the photos have a very soft and romantic feel to them (not really modern like other photographers). Also, I really like how Imagine is a small company.

What photographers are you interested in?

I know what you mean - like the photographers have 'signature' poses or whatever and they do them with every wedding. So one time they look cool, then you see the same thing in like 5 weddings and you're like enough already!!!!!

thanks Alicia - I LOVE Imagine - they are DEFINITELY on my list!!!! I like soooo many others I can't even remember them all the time haha so far my list is...

imagine
f i n e a r t
duet
love more photo
thomas paul
velvet studios
deja vu - I met someone at a showcase that said they'd be really good to look into, so I dunno...

hopefully FH can help me narrow them down bc I don't know if I want to go on 7 appointments, but I guess that is the benefit of having time on our side. Thanks girls for making me feel better about starting early! You're the only ones that understand! <3

how many photogs did you see before you made your decision? we met with 2

how long do the appointments last approximately? about an hour

why did you ultimately pick the photog you booked with? we LOVED his work and the price was right!

we booked Thomas Paul

most apps lasted 45 mins to 1 hr.

I met with 7.

Although over my budget, the work of my photographer wasn't comparable to the others I went to see. I just felt it was so much better, and worth the extra money.

thanks so much everyone! I'm a lil nervous to start meeting with photogs since this is so impt to me and I feel like its gonna be another one of those 'oops over the budget again!' This budget thing is no fun

how many photogs did you see before you made your decision? we saw 3

how long do the appointments last approximately?about 20 minutes
