This weekend, Pauline and I dropped almost 6 grand on our wedding. I guess you could say committed, because we really only dropped like $2.5k. I wish I had a detailed itemized checklist of what needs to be done and bought, so that I can check things off, but no such luck. But here is what we now have planned:
- Wedding day photography
- Wedding day videography
- Wedding photo album
- Studio/glamour pictures
- Pauline’s various dresses for the reception
- Wedding day makeup and hair
- Maybe a wedding dress
- That big portrait that you hang outside your wedding reception, and then relegate to the basement (unless you’re really vain)
Doesn’t seem like a lot of bang for your (well, mine) buck does it? The competition charges around the same amount so there’s not much difference anyways. Why did we pick the one we did? Aside from the fact that it doesn’t have a website, it seemed as if they were ok. They touch-up their photos to give everyone a magazine look, and their photographers seemed to have some knowledge of photography. Another place we went to had a huge picture of a bride, but her face was out-of-focus while her hands/arms were in focus, and no it wasn’t an artistic shot. Gah.
