Picture Perfect - Take Two
February 1st, 2008 @ 3:44 pm by Mrs. Hydrangea
My second photographer meeting was with Gary Donihoo of F8 Studio. I previously posted about his photo booth company and how I really loved his photography. He didn’t do any disservice to that thought. His photos were amazing, his ideas were creative and his setup was professional all the way… unfortunately his pricing was about two times higher than what my budget allowed.

I have to admit, I was really disappointed in this fact. After we spent over an hour talking photography, I was absolutely positive that I’d found my photographer.
What I didn’t learn, until later, was that the two other photographers that work out of his studio have different price ranges. Their pictures are just as amazing so it would definitely be worth checking out, if you can’t quite spend as much on Gary.
While his pictures really did say a thousand words, I knew that patience was key in finding the photographer for our wedding. I wanted the ideas, personalities and pricing to match…so back to the drawing board I went.
Our last meeting coming next…
