Well, I met with my last 3 photographers Monday and Tuesday. They were all very sweet and knowledgeable, yet some impressed me more than others as far as photo creativity/quality, personality, and PRICE. I will be making my final decision by Monday. Frankly, I've already made my choice, lol, BUT, I am still going to rest my mind and not make any rushed decisions or bookings. Sigh, I wish I could mush some of these people together to make 1 super awesome photog! I guess I cannot have my cake and eat it too----except at the wedding :)
What I thought was interesting was the difference between the (2)male and (3)female photogs. Each gender seemed to have VERY opposite business discussions and personalities when talking to me. Now, it could have been just a coincidence in the people I chose, (that was just who they were), or based on MY personality, but I wonder if I kept going in my search, if I would have come across the same results in how males and females conduct their business with others of the same or different gender. Now, I'm no feminist by any means, so it's merely an observation, not any sort of judgment or frustration/resentment. Everyone was certainly very nice and respectful, so no problems there!
So now that I am done with photography--phew! I am moving on to day-of planners and florists. Yowzas. Today I have a floral appointment/consult in Catonsville, and tomorrow I have another floral consult in Timonium.
While I was visiting a photographer, I also met with his wife, a certified event planner, who offers day-of services. I was really impressed with her, she seemed very organized and that she knew what she was doing, in addition to nice reviews on Wedding Wire (weddingwire.com).
So anyway, I hope I can get the other florists and other day-of planner out of the way this coming week. I just want to get this stuff over with!
