We got a photographer.... YAY!!!

After months of trawling website after website trying to find a wedding photographer, we've finally booked one. I admit we're really fussy, and on a really tight budget, so we've struggled with the "price" versus "style" argument for months.

The photography is possibly the most important thing we'll buy for the day. It's the one thing apart from our rings that'll actually be with us forever. That'll remind us of every detail from the wedding. So it's important that it looks the way we want it to and reflects who we are.

We saw the photographers we eventually booked at a wedding show in Birmingham last year and really loved their work. But to us their fee seemed a little out of our range, little did we know that to get even close to their standard we would need to look at photographers that were in the "silly" money range!!!

So we left the decision until we knew that the date and venue was definate.... then after another quick emailing and phoning session we had to admit that we would have to bite the bullet and accept that what we wanted was gonna be in the higher price range and that the photographer we saw at Birmingham would be booked already..... So we contacted the more expensive ones and got quotes... but we knew that although they were beautiful images we just couldn't justify the money, not on our budget, so finally today we chanced a phone call to the photographers from the Birmingham Show and amazingly they're available.... and actually not unreasonable in the price area! And the deal they're offering is flexible and allows us to get exactly the sort of coverage we want.So the deposit is paid.... and that's one less thing to worry about!!!

You are so right, the photography is the single most important aspect of the wedding day. At my wedding, things were so hectic... I was hardly able to understand half of what was going on.. So it really helped to have that visual record of the day to look back on and remember the happiness of that moment. So I am very happy for you two, to have found a good photographer... Big hurdle.. OVERCOME.
