Hello all! I'm getting married end of January but I'm on a budget so I've been thinking of ways to cut costs. I have a friend (not close) who is a photographer, but he's only been doing it for a relatively short time so I figured I would ask him about how much he would charge. He told me he usually charges 1800 for 5 hours, himself & an assistant, post-editing & I'm assuming a DVD with the images. No prints or anything. But he said he would do it for 1200 for me. I know that a great photographer can come at about double that price, so I don't think it's necessarily a bad price & at first I thought it was a great price. But after doing some research I've found some photographers with far more experience & slightly better prices. This is probably a silly question but how do I politely let my friend know that I'm no longer interested?! I don't want to try to haggle him down because he already said it would be 600 less than what he would regularly charge but I also don't want to be rude being that I'm the one who first inquired anyway. This got pretty long haha, TIA ladies!
