We met our top 5 photographers over the weekend, but are now completely stumped on which is the best one for us.
1) Lovely guy, beautiful pictures, stunning albums. BUT, he was a photographer for the magazines, so instead of focusing on the little details as well as the standard shots you’d expect, you’d be handed a disk of 300 perfectly thought out images. He brings along lights, and everything else, so everything has to be absolutely perfect. I'm not sure if he'd just take up too much time doing our shots?
2) I’ve got to admit, she has been my favourite all along. She’s young, inexperienced, but has the eye. Once you’ve added an album onto her price though, it’s up to almost as much as everybody else, so is she a bit of an unnecessary ...
gamble? She had lots of ideas, which is fab, but I don't know if everything she does is a trial run.
3) Lovely lady, just a bit... Boring! She went off on a tangent about how she couldn’t understand why photographers put watermarks on their pictures because if people were going to take the picture, they’d take it regardless. Rang a few bells in our heads, because this is the woman who had somebody else’s picture on her website. She's out really..
4) This is where it got difficult. I don’t know why I booked an appointment with this man, it just sort of happened. His albums were amazing, he was a lovely guy and so easy to talk to. Anything was possible with him! He offered a try before you buy engagement shoot to see if we liked him, as well as keeping the deposit at 30% instead of it going upto 50%. His pictures were good, but I just don’t know if a few were overedited.. This is without a doubt Ed’s favourite, and he was mine too until we met with the last one!
5) This man is absolutely amazing!! His photographs are b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. He’s top end of our budget, but he’s so professional. He’s got the professionalism of the first man, but also has the eye of the two ladies, especially number 2 which i absolutely adore. He ticks off all my boxes, except one. I’m not sure the albums are exactly the style I’d like. I know we can upgrade, but it would push us up way over our limit. Plus you get a kiss as you leave!
What do you all think!?
