So we found the exact style of photographer that we want.. relaxed natural photos capturing natural smile and, laughter throughout the day, rather than staged posing photos. Found a local photographer who I have gotten to know over the last few weeks and was just about to put pen to paper when I came across another equally amazing photographer with the same style of photos.
This one was way out of our budget but she has just advised me she offers a winter wedding discount which would bring the price more inline with the other photographers price. It is slightly more expensive than the original and than our budget but OH and I agreed a good photographer is vital so our budget is more flexible, but would mean lowering the budgets for other things.
I would be very grateful if anyone has worked with either photographer to give me your opinions.
Helen Russell Photography
and
Sarah Jane Ethan Photography
It is so hard to decide as both are the same style and after speaking to both and both being equally lovely and down to earth I really cannot decide, and I hate letting people down so I really am going to struggle telling one that we are going with the other.
A bit more info.. the more expensive photographer offers a longer length of shooting time.. shooting until after 1st dance , whereas the cheaper one only shoots until the speeches. So the extra we are paying would cover the extra time they are shooting, however our videographer is shooting until after the 1st dance so we werent bothered about photos past the cake cutting to be honest. I have contacted the 2nd photographer to ask about the possibility of only shooting until the cake cutting and seeing if this would adjust the price at all.. yes im very cheeky lol
