Wedding Blog

I dumped him.

Okay, so I didn’t actually do the dirty work, but I left Mr. Penguin an E-mail with his phone number.

“Please fire our photographer. Here’s his number. I apologize that I just wasted our $600 deposit. You’re the best, smooch your boodles, XOXO.”

I avoid confrontation so much that I didn’t even tell Mr. Penguin in person/over the phone, that we needed to call it quits with our original photographer. And by “we” I mean “he”. Even though I was the one who hired our original photographer and convinced everyone that they were the studio for us.

I was young and naive. I was convinced that “most expensive” translated directly to “best”. Photography was the single most important thing to our wedding for me, and if we could only afford 4 hours of photography, so be it. Well, truth be told, this is the most asinine reason for hiring someone, because they’re expensive. It’s like dating a moron because he’s hot. Not gonna work.

But I finally found the photographer of my dreams. To be honest, I didn’t really know what style of photography I was looking for. But I was referred to her blog and I knew instantly she was the one. Her style is so bold, sharp, crisp, and so far from that typical 80’s romantic bridal crap that I loathe.

If any of you are even the slightest bit indecisive about one of the vendor’s you’ve booked, you HAVE to let them go. I lost plenty of sleep over my mistake, wondering if I should have just stuck it out with my old photographer.

But as many of you advised in my previous post, you only have one wedding, and there is no room for wishy-washyness.

She’s the one.  Reveal to come.
