Hello all! I just want person input basically. I have narrowed our photographer down to 2 options:
Option A: i have lusted after her photography for years. Every time I see wedding photos that make me say WOW, they are always done by her. Just perfectly my style, and I've always told myself working with A would be a non-negotiable for my wedding. But then real planning starts and money is a factor- she is about $3300 for the package we would go with, which in what I'd say is the upper end of "average" cost in my area.
Option B: I found her through wedding wire I believe. She is newer to wedding photography, with this being her first couple years of doing weddings on her own. I LIKE the portfolio photos I've seen of hers. They are nice and light and airy, which is what I like, but she isn't like 100% my style match like photographer A. The price of the comparable package we would go with here is about $2200, so a full thousand less.
I've managed to talk myself one way, and then right back the other. Part of me says to go with option B, save the money, and maybe since she's newer she would be more open minded to seeing the style I like and emulating it. But then a friend said to me "you will never regret paying too MUCH if you get photos you love, but you will regret paying to LITTLE if you get back photos you dont like."
What would you go with in this scenario?
