For me, it wasn't the dress, the choice of venue or even the theme of the wedding that has caused me much angst. It has been the pictures. Yes, I said it...the pictures.
I have spent countless days and nights thinking about the poses, the scenery and the type of photography that I want. Not too cutesy, not too editorial...I want to have just enough class and timeless quality to it.
I have pratically googled every photographer recommended in weddng magazines in the Houston-area. After reviewing their websites and checking out their photo galleries, I go further and "yelp" them to see what their reviews are. Then I sit there and figure out what I am getting for the amount. Am I getting ditigal prints? How many hours will they be at the wedding? Am I getting 2 photographers?
Its times like this that I hate the fact that my profession gets in the way of me planning. At work, I do nothing but sit there and research case upon case until I find a winning argument for my case. Looking for engagement/bridal/wedding photographers is the same thing. I do nothing but sit here and research photographer after photograher for the right one.
I have narrowed down my choices down to three photographers. I hope it whittles down to one pretty soon. I need to move on to other things to plan. I hate being so particular about pictures!
