Congrats ktlorens ! and welcome to our forum resource community! as you've seen, lots of great professionals available in our area, most of whose results would make you very happy you have lots of decisions to make in you planning process, for sure, but this one is really about following your heart's impression of what resonates for you My advice is to let go of the pressure, look at the various photographers' work, and consider the one that strikes you the most.........then make that a more important factor in your choice than what their cost is. You can find great professional quality + value at quite reasonable prices Their photo record of your Big Day is something you'll enjoy forever - and relive all those memories every time you look at them as well as an excellent way of sharing your wedding with all those who are unable to join you here in person for your wedding celebration - and all the generations to come in your future. Relax.... enjoy your "shopping"!..... and know you'll find the right choice for you
