Guys, let’s be real – wedding photography is expensive! Planning one of the biggest days of your life is stressful and putting together a priority list of vendors is hard. Where do you want to spend the majority of your budget? A great designer/florist? Your dress? A few extra hours of an open bar? Fancy-schmancy appetizers? The list goes on. Josh and I knew we needed to invest in an awesome photographer because we wanted to be 100% confident that they could capture our day perfectly. If you read my last post about the reasons why we chose to have a destination wedding you’ll know that money was a HUGE factor! We decided to make as many decorations as we could and cut corners where it made sense — so we could splurge on our photographer! Of course, everyone’s wedding is different and values different things. I am a little biased since I am a wedding photographer myself (hehe) and I told Josh that I didn’t need super fancy shoes or crazy flowers — all I wanted was epic photos :)
If you’re reading this thinking “Come on, Caroline. I don’t need to spend THAT much on a wedding photographer. I could just have one of my friends take photos..” Oh LAWD. NO.
Here are a few reasons why you should consider investing in a great wedding photographer:
Moral of the story? Invest in someone that will invest in YOU!
