I feel so LUCKY

[cindygenit]

OMG OMG OMG

I think i have found my photographer!!!!!!

She is a professional photographer who have just moved to Perth, and since I will be her first wedding, she has decided to let us pay her a fraction of what other photographers want to charge me!!!

Also, she works with her hubby so there will be 2 photographers with us on the day YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel so lucky... i mean, i found my dress at 500 AUD and now this!!! I can''t help but grin from ear to ear!!!

 

[princessplease]

You probably only have to do this if you know they are saving your date currently. Otherwise, I wouldn''t worry about it. I got many quotes from photographers but I only sent emails to the two that I met with in person and that I knew were waiting on me to make a choice before releasing my date to other interested brides.

 

[cindygenit]

thanks Clairitek!

It makes it easier for me

[Rock_of_Love]

Personally? I would keep looking. Her price reflects her experience, which doesn''t seem to be very broad. I imagine she has only had one or two weddings shot on her own, at the most - the excessive use of on-camera flash proves it. While she isn''t terrible by any means, you could do better.

Photography is one area you don''t want to scrimp on. I know a bargain sounds great at the time, but you will regret it when you get back a bunch of photos with heads cut off and your dress blown out.

 

[cindygenit]

I was SO hoping she would be great, MP!

I''m sure you will find someone wonderful that fits your budget. I researched a LOT, but managed to find a newer photographer (had only done 2 weddings when we booked him) whom we found to be quite skilled and amazingly wonderful to work with.

 

[parrot tulips]

Less experience doesn''t always have to look it...

 

[cindygenit]

She isn''t inexperienced!!! She is a professional photographer in Germany but she had done few weddings ...

Perhaps its a talent thing then. They are adequate but not outstanding...I''m with MP.

Yeah... i agree with you guys. I could have taken those photos with a nice camera.

 

[cindygenit]

Hehe i found another photographer, his work can be found on this website here:

[joelly]

Cindy, I agree with the others on the photographer. She is not that good unfortunately.

Photography requires talent. Anyone can take a picture but you want a photographer who is able to capture the moment.

Now....can we get back on the dress pic. I can''t see the pic.

Could you pls send it again? Pls!!!!

Pls!!!
