I began getting back to a few vendors I had contacted and looking for more photographers and we found 2 that we really like
J - 1K offers video and photo full wedding coverage, engagement session and all pics given to us on a cd/usb
S- 895 photos only + engagement session + full wedding coverage
We are meeting S tomorrow and J on Wednesday to look over their portfolios and to talk a little bit more about the details.
I also contacted a baker who was recommended to me and has very good reviews and we are meeting with him on the 19th!
I have to keep doing research on bakers but what I heard is he was really good, very professional, and very affordable.
ETA: FI's words after we talked about all of this "shit is getting real"
