We are looking for vendors from family and recommendations. We have narrowed it down to two photographers and I was just curious if you were in my position, what you would choose.
- First photographer is future MIL's coworker's daughter. She has a degree in photography and is trying to go back to get her masters. She does not do photography full time, but has done weddings before. Her pictures are not great, you can tell they are not professional. However, there are usually a few really great pictures. Her price is $850 for the entire day, plus a lot of prints (like 250).This lady would do the photography for the wedding on her own.
- Second photographer is my dad's cousin's girlfriend. She has a professional photography business that she has been doing for a few years. Her pictures look really great, allowing me to see the notable difference between her and photographer one. Her price is going to be probably over $1500 with some prints and probably 6 hours. (I say probably because we are hoping to negotiate a cheaper price). It also includes engagement session. This photographer comes with two photographers for the whole day.
So there is a very notable price difference, but also a quality difference. What would you choose?
