Val and I went and interviewed photographers this afternoon in Walnut Creek and Hayward. They were both great candidates and we still haven't made a final decision. Prices is important to us, but we also want to make sure we get someone experienced and trustworthy on the day of.
The first photographer we talked to was named Brian. He and his wife are a duo and they work shoots together. (I really like this rather than just a photographer and his/her random assistant or colleague.) He was very down to earth and seemed very knowledgeable. He answered a lot of our questions without even having to ask them. Their portfolio looked great and we liked their style. It seemed like they had different styles depending on what fit the bride and groom best--that made us feel like they were really in it for the best interest of the couple and not necessarily to do the things that they liked or felt comfortable with. Overall the value and the expertise were top notch; we really liked him.
The second photographer we talked to was Marge. She was fun and spunky; she seemed like someone that you would want to hang out with. We definitely liked her energy and enthusiasm. She offered payment plans which was really cool and forward thinking of her. She ended up having a higher price point for her services than the other photographer. What originally drew us to her was her website. She had a pretty straight forward and edgy website with a lot of information (which is so hard to find most of the time for wedding services.) We liked her style and her ability to cover a lot of angles with only one photographer.
We haven't decided who we are going with as of yet. We have one more photographer that we are planning on meeting with. It feels so good to start making progress on the big things. DJ and cake are next! (Well besides the wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses.)
