Using people you know instead of going professional..

Original post by nrvbrd

Am I the only one who thinks this is such a bad idea?

I had to post this topic because I got screwed in a couple of areas.

I was going to use a friend of my aunt's (a well established photographer) but he gave me the runaround. I also was going to use a reverend who is a family friend, and she also flaked on me, and other little things.

Though you may spend a little more $$$$ my advice is to go professional all the way.

Sorry for the vent.
