One thing Lou and I, mostly I, did not anticipate was how hard it would be to find a photographer we loved and that we could afford. Photography costs have skyrocketed in the last few years!! When I heard what most people spend on photography, I was floored!!
I completely understand it is a one shot deal, and it will be the one thing you will look back on years to come, but I can't imagine going broke (well, my parents going broke) just for pictures!! I know exactly what I want, but have had an extremely hard time finding someone we could afford.
After emailing for investment information and getting package information, I knew I was in trouble. Buying a house was easier than finding a photographer. I have champagne taste on a water budget!
But, I think I have found a photographer whom I both love the pictures, can get exactly what I want, and can afford!! I am meeting with two different photographers on Monday, and I am excited, because I like both of their pictures!!
I did book a photographer earlier in the week, but after doing so I had a full blown panic attack and they were gracious enough to return out deposit. Their pictures are AMAZING, but after we booked it hit me how much it was going to cost and I just could not do it. Hopefully this will not happen again, and I don't think it will as the prices are more in our budget range.
I think Lou is to the point that he doesn't care, just tells me to pick one!! HAHA!!
More adventures to come!
