For some reason, my FI is really resistant to having a photographer photograph the wedding. He says it's not really needed and he doesn't want to pay someone $100 an hour to take pictures of us. He says a couple of his friends have a nice camera, so they can take pictures. I think it's rude for us to ask them to do this during the wedding and to put that kind of pressure on them.
I found a really good deal ($100 an hour, minimum of 5 hours). I am so adamant about this that I flat out told him I would pay for it by myself. My belief is that we are paying all this money for other aspects of the wedding, I want someone there who has a professional eye to take the pictures that our friends won't think about. Plus, my dress is gorgeous, and I want the right lighting and whatnot to make it look sensational.
Please back me up on this... He has been making me crazy with his attitude on this aspect!
