This photographer was referred to us by our reception vendor. The company has been in the business for over 20 years, so we thought we would go with them because of their experience. In retrospect, I would have gone with a newer photographer because I think some of the creativity I wanted was lost. I provided him a list of pictures that I wanted and we just wanted him to snap pictures all day since we were only buying 10 hours of his time and requesting a CD to be made. No albums or prints. I wish I had more pictures of the flowers and the different parts of the decorations of the venue. The pictures with the fireworks in the background (since our wedding was on the 4th of July) didn't turn out too good and some family who had taken pictures for us turned out better. I don't think it was completely worth the money.
