Vendor regret?

How much was your deposit for your current photographer? If they save you that much, I would lose the deposit and see if the others are available!

My deposit was $500. I'm not sure if saving $500 is worth changing my photographer. Before when I thought it was a 1.5K difference and would be saving me $1,000 I was getting ready to email the other photog as soon as I talked to my FH.

Yep. From someone who regrets hiring their photographer, make the change while you can. I get annoyed every time I look at certain pictures or parts of our video because our photographer wasn't the right one for us.

If you think you'll have regrets, there's still time to reconsider

Ah I responded before you edited. Still, you have time. You will have your photos forever.

I think that regardless of saving money, if you think the new photographer would better fit your needs, do you need/want the four extra hours?, then switch. The money saved will just be a bonus. If you really love the new one, I'd switch.

I'd switch. Your pictures are how you will remember that day forever.

UM.....are you sure you like this photographer because their work is better? Or just cheaper?

Thanks ladies. I sent the new photographer an email to see if he's available.

I was going to say get in contact with the other photographer because you want to have the best possible photos for you and you don't want to regret that decision, but it looks like you already contacted the photographer good luck!

I would be all about saving $500. That's a lot of money.

Let us know what happens!! I'm glad you sent the email!

I'm meeting with the other photographer on Monday...

I don't know what my deal is. I feel so bad about all this. I have no idea how to let the other one go if I like this guy more. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, I might not click with him and it won't even matter but its causing me so much anxiety.

Something else I'm worried about is that I have a boudoir shoot scheduled with my current photographer...if I do let her go will she still do the boudoir shoot with me since that's not part of the wedding package?

@Jay Farrell Photography I am actually not sure. That idea keeps running through my head and I am having the hardest time figuring out my feelings about it.

My life planning this wedding:

You will have these pictures the rest of your life! Go for the second one!

Yes your new photographer should still do your shoot, but I would cancel because it would be awkward. As far as letting her go, that is business and I am sure she has experienced it before. We are so glad plans didn't work out with our first choice because who we have now we are super excited about! Go with your gut and don't look back

Maybe post the links to both photographers so we can weigh in about if this new person is worth it or if you're clouded by the price?

One I'm meeting with on Monday: http://www.harthphotography.com/weddings/

I actually had the same thing happen to me but the photographer we first picked still takes amazing pictures and she's the sweetest ever. Our personalities blend so well and she makes us feel so comfortable so we stayed with her, despite us liking the style of the other photographer a bit more. This is a hard decision but totally up to you. Good luck!

Your first photographer is very straight forward. Standard posing, "safe" shots. Nothing wrong with that.

I prefer your second choice. He has more "candid" shots and seems to know how to capture a "moment"

What is more important to you? Safe or Candid?
