Photographers

I met 3 photographers yesterday and I'm torn between two of them. One of them does really good work – his photos are beautiful and the album is a storyboard thing which is all the rage apparently – but…I didn’t like his personality at all. He came across as bossy, a bit smarmy, like he thinks of himself as an artiste. The other guy was lovely – a real gentleman, calm, professional, seems very experienced – but…his photos are a bit ordinary and albums are quite traditional. Both were priced around the same and both have good recommendations in the wedding forums.

So do I go with the guy that will drive us mad all day but come up with the goods afterwards? He said he airbrushes the pictures…adds hair to the grooms, gets rid of crows feet for the bride…do they all do this? Is this the norm now? Sean is delighted, he has his vote, but it seems a bit dodgy to me.

And he didn't have the sense to say that crows-feet removal would obviously not be required in this instance!
