Hi All,
I am so frustrated today I can't stop getting upset in the middle of work so I am just going to get it out... I am on a very limited budget, and didn't think I would be able to hire a photographer. My 2 cousins were going to do it for me for almost nothing. Then, last month they said that they thought I was still going to hire someone and they would just do the candid shots. They were not comfortable with posed shots. So, I decided I need to hire a photographer, and I was able to scrape up what I thought was a decently reasonable amount for what I was looking for. (4-6 hours, no proofs, just copyright release disk) But, now I'm just 5 months away from my wedding looking for a photographer. I've been contacting any photographer within my price range, and most of them had been booked. Today, I contacted someone who did not have any prices listed on their site, and was reccomended by someone who was in my price range, and when I told him what I was looking for HE LAUGHED AT ME. He said I'm never going to find a decent photographer for that price. I know he's not true on that, because I've found good ones that are booked or haven't gotten back to me, but his comments and his demeaning laugh made me feel so terrible. I'm on a budget, how hard is that to understand. Besides that, I don't understand how these people can get away with charging so much money for 2 days of work (1 for photos, 1 for touch ups). I feel like I am the only person who is on a budget and stupid for not having more money for this.
I've been in a slump lately with wedding planning the way it is. I hate all the details and all the worry about etiquette and proper etc. etc. I just want to be married, this whole wedding planning is just not my thing, and of course I can't afford a planner. I'm cutting corners as much as I can and then to have this happen today really wanted me to say F--- it. What a mean person... ok, I guess I'm done. Wish I could say I feel better.
