    Our photographer came first because it was easier to find one considering we both know her from our childhood.

    Photographer, to me it was much more important since I'll have the photos forever.

    Both are equally important. But researching photographer styles is more time consuming.

    Photographer, that was a definite spend from the beginning, but I wasn't sure about DJ for a while.

    DJ. I knew who I wanted as a photographer, however I could not justify the price she was charging, and by the time we decided on her, she was booked for our date. As for our DJ, we knew who we wanted from a club we used to attend frequently.

    We have neither at this point, but it will be the photographer because we will not be having a DJ.

    DJ! Our DJ was actually the 2nd vendor we locked in with (just after our venue!)
