Is it ok to change vendors?

Hi, are you sure you will get all your photos in the $300 package. I would at least make sure of that. As far as telling your friend, if you want to switch solely because of price, I’d be honest and tell her that. If she’s a friend I’m sure she will understand.

I think that's ok to switch vendors. I had a friend who switched florists later on

First thing I would do is make sure that with the bundle you’re getting all your images. Other wise it may not be worth it. Second, of she’s a friend then be up front and honest and tell her you’re switching because of the price.

Wow, that’s an amazing deal from both! I’d just be careful with the $300 price. Check all the fine print and see what’s involved.
If you change, I think it’s okay but do be up front with your friend. Be honest that you weren’t expecting to pay $600 but know that $600 is about half of a minimum of what you would find elsewhere. Apart from the $300 of course!

Yes it would be ok to change. Just let her know you decided to have her enjoy the wedding instead of work and that they gave u a small price to just add on photography. Lastly just be honest and tell her about the cheaper price.

1) How do you know the pictures will be better? Have you seen them? And if so, do you like them?

2) Will your friend be hurt if you don’t use her?

3) Do you like her pictures? I assume so, since you asked her to take them.

4) Can you us the $300 difference or is it not so big a deal? If you don’t need to cut costs( and like her pix more) don’t.

5) If money wasn’t a thing which photographer would you choose- Based SOLELY on the quality of the photos.

I don't think it's rude as long as the wedding is still far out. Explain to her the situation. I had a few friends to offer services for the wedding but I told them I wanted them there as guests not as workers.

View Quoted Comment This! Be absolutely certain of what you’re getting for the cheaper package — quality, quantity etc. The cheapest package isn’t always the best option in the grand scheme. But if you can get everything you want for the cheaper package, go for it. I think it is a fair to be honest with your friend about cost— that you realize their price was more than fair but you found a way to save some serious money and you want to go that route.
