Photographer Based on Value or More Than 1?

Sarah, on January 31, 2020 at 3:25 AM Posted in Planning 0 2
I have been poring over photographers for weeks & just need to pick one already! I take photos as a hobby so I believe I’m picky with getting the right shots. I’m having a symbolic ceremony in Italy. We may have 4 guests- not sure. So I don’t need photos for 3-5 hours since it’s an intimate ceremony with a dinner. I will have a harpist & the Positano hills & ocean as my backdrop so photos are important.


I’ve narrowed it down to 3 & would love any insight on how anyone picked their photographer. I like all of their work & their pricing is all roughly the same mostly.
- 2 male photographers w/ lowest price due to a discount since my wedding is a weekday, 4-5 hours (flexible), 500 edited photos ready in 45 days
-1 female photographer who I like her editorial style (only factor) for 5 hours, 250 edited photos, online gallery
-1 female photographer who offers a skype session to go over the day, 350 edited photos, online gallery, complimentary sunset session the day before wedding, pictures ready in 2-3 weeks with a preview of 10 pics 3 days after wedding
I can’t decide because I would love 2 photographers perspectives for different photos & they are the cheapest but I’m trying not to base it off price. I do think females might pick up on nuances women care about- angles, hair in place, etc. Gender is not a huge deal here but in consideration. The last female photographer seems like the best value. Please help with your insight!

    I would probably go with the last one based simply on inclusions in package price. Having two photographers is nice, but for what you've described one should be sufficient. It sounds like a lovely ceremony!!

    For such a small ceremony I don't think you need 2 photographers and it might just be distracting. In theory they should all offer a phone call or skype session and just might not mention it as a specific part of their package. I think the included sunset session sounds nice but if you love the editing style of the second person, that would be a good choice too.
