SL Media Productions? They seem to have reasonable pricing and good work. I am just so scared to pick a photographer. We don't have a lot to spend (1500 at the most) and the bulk of our budget is going to photos...and his pkgs seems better than most.

    Why are you scared?  Set up a meeting, ask about how they like things to go.  Talk about the kind of photos you like.  Bring examples, good and not-so-good.  Ask to see full galleries, they should be able to give you the online password for their active online wedding galleries. If you're not comfortable move on.

    I am just afraid b/c I don't want to make the wrong decision. It's just over all anxiousness about booking vendors. You know how most of us want a perfect day....I realize nothings perfect...but I'm just a nervous nelly right about now. Just wondering if anyone had worked with him.

    There are no wrong decisions.  There are just different decisions with different consequences, some better than others. 

    If you're clear about your expectations, and honest with yourself when you look through a vendor's portfolio about whether what's offered there meets your expectations, then you shouldn't expect to be disappointed.

    I understand that. I just wanted a tried and true bride. This board has been so helpful so far and I was just asking a question. Thanks though.

    I'm sorry.  I didn't realize that I wasn't a true bride.  Don't worry, won't happen again.

    When I said tried and true bride I meant one who had used the company I mentioned. I am not out to offend anyone. Tried and true is a term used on a lot of reviews on bridal sites, which is why I said that. I was simply asking a question. Wow.

    Gotta say, I'd watch how you word things. Just because someone hasn't 'used' the company doesn't mean they don't have valid and important information that you should possibly pay attention to.

    With the board being so slow and we have fewer regs than normal, it's going to be hard to find a bride or to-be bride that has or will use a particular vendor. So I suggest to simply take into consideration what a bride or bride-to-be has to say before dismissing it simply because they didn't use that vendor.

    Otherwise. . there's always google / google reviews. You could also ask the particular vendor you're interested in for the reviews from their past clients or references.

    Good luck and happy planning.

    I wasn't being offensive at all. On the reviews it has "tried and true" bride reviews...which is all I was asking is if someone had used the company. I don't see how that's offensive. My original question was for someone who used that company...I wasn't being rude to anyone at all. I don't see how what I asked or anything I said could offend anyone who isn't obviously easily offended.

    Totally insane. I understand a regular is a regular...but I asked an innnocent question but I get scolded? Just nevermind. I appreciate everyone who has been nice enough to answer any questions I've asked before...but it's not worth it to be scolded when if you read anything I've said I have been apologetic and nice even when someone was being rude to me. Wow. I'm done.

    Did I say you were being offensive? I simply said to please watch how you word things. This is the internet. Things are taken at face value (well, word value), since typing is all we have to go on here.

    Honey, no one is scolding you. I simply said, 'watch how you word things'.

    Oh, bless your heart.

    You can't admit that it's weird for you to come in here, 2 years after your wedding and this thread is the one you start posting in?  And you start by saying something that implies you know anything about the recent dynamic of the board?

    Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.  Where are you from?  What do you do?  What's your goal here?
