hi guys,
I've got a tough decision to make and I was hoping I could get some help here.
you see, I'm getting married and the solemnization is next year. My fiancee and I got a really nice venue and everything, but we really want to keep things as low cost as possible, even though we've got a couple of extravagant ideas (including getting a harpist! dunno how that's gonna work out).
so on the photography front, I'd decided to approach a good friend of mine. a couple of things are holding me back. firstly, I want him to relax and have a good time instead of running around, snapping shots. secondly, I'm not sure if he's up to the job.
the photographs are extremely important, so we don't want to have any regrets.
I searched online and found a respectable photographer (photojournalistic style - I'm a sucker for it) who charges $1000 for 4 hours for the ROM day. my fiancee thinks it's too expensive. she's probably right. we do have the honeymoon to consider, after all!
so what do I do? is there anyone whom you guys can recommend? some undiscovered genius who wouldn't charge an arm and a leg? or should I risk it with my friend?
please help?
p.s. oh and if you've got a harpist to recommend, I'm all ears thanks again!
