After ordering my dress yesterday, today we finally booked with a photographer!
We went with my mom's friend's neice. We met with her today and went over the contract & gave her the deposit.
She's so fun and bubbly and we both think she will do an amazing job. She made it clear to ask her opinion on anything if we need it - it doesn't have to be photography related. She loves the whole wedding planning process.
After all the trouble we've gone through with the photographer process, I'm really glad that we ended up with her. I'm normally very shy around people I've only just met, but within the hour we spent together, I started feeling very comfortable around her quickly, which imo, is very important, especially with something like this.
So I think all of the major things are done with the exception of the BM dresses which should hopefully be done within the next few weeks!
