I'm all about photos. When I travel, I don't collect souvenirs. I always say my photos are my memories. I'm also all about the scrapbooking, and you can't scrap without photos, right?
As you can imagine I have been quite picky about the photographer for the wedding. I wanted someone who not only was willing to work with us (well, mainly me) to get the look and "vibe" that we wanted, but was reasonably priced. My initial research made it abundantly clear that if there is one thing to learn about wedding photographers, it is that you can pay a little, or pay a LOT.
Of course, you pay more, you get a better product. But when some advertise basic packages starting at $2000 and only go up from there, budgetary considerations bring a prospective bride down to earth with a loud bump.
We ended up only meeting two different photographers, and booking the first one. Why? They were a couple with many years experience, they took the trouble to ask us what WE actually wanted (as opposed to telling us what they could do, which was the tack the other bloke took) and they were reasonably priced.
Debating whether to reveal them on this blog, so I won't link them at this stage. But suffice to say, I am very excited. Except for the dress, all the big stuff is now nailed down: venue, celebrant, caterer, florist and photographer. Whee!
