Warning: This is going to be long.
I need photog help. 99% sure we have decided on who I'll call #2. How do I let #1 know we won't be using her?
Background: We love #1 in terms of personality. She was our first appt and afterward I remember telling FH how much I like her etc etc. Her price is right too. Her pictures are not fantastic which we were on the fence about since day 1. She offered us free e-pics "to see more of her work." We took her up on them to see if we could be won over depending on how they turned out. IMO they turned out better than expected and in comparison with others on her site, I thought they were some of her better ones. I now feel horrible that we won't be using her bc she has been so sweet to us and so easy to work with. FH is still just not convinced and in all honesty, I don't want to be worrying over whether or not we'll have good weddings pics.
#2 is a little more expensive but the pics are way better, I know someone who gave them a glowing recommendation, and their package is for 2 photogs. We also liked them personality wise just not as much as #1.
Deep down, I know it is the right decision and I don't know why I care so much about photog #1 except for how amazingly nice she has been to us. Ultimately, picture quality and having a second photog won us over. I just don't know how to tell #1.
Help me "break up" with photog #1 and tell me not to be dumb and become "attached" to other vendors before booking with them!! lol
I'm just the type who will feel guilty forever for not going with #1 even though we will never see or deal with her again.
TIA!
Best of luck to you and yours!
