Hmm, got a feeling that I'm just so going to do another advertising entry. LOL.
Ironically, we actually sourced for more options for our photographer as compared to other portions of the wedding (i.e. banquet location, bridal studio and videographer), despite it being the lowest cost of them all. Good thing that both of our jobs has minimal relations with monetary investment. Bad thing that it implies the inadequacy of (or rather lack of) a money mind. Perhaps that's why we are together anyway =)
Anyway, we requested for a few quotations, further reinforcing the lesson that "doing some homework online will always land us in a better position to capitalise on the best deals" (see Videographer entry) and we met up with three of them, the last of them being Leslie.
The first we met was with Ben from 9photo, as he was recommended by our sales person from the bridal studio. He was a very nice and sincere guy to talk to and one can really tell that he is passionate about photography and wanting to give the best to the wedding couple. His style is his strength, in that he captured a lot of shots of the couple, together with the priceless expressions. However, his style is also his weakness, as we would prefer shots with more variety. Anyway, for those who are interested, "http://www.9-photo.com/".
The second we met was with Stewart from GPhotography, as I was first attracted to the brightness, sharpness and layout of edited actual day photos showcased in albums on his website. My dear actually preferred the lesser use of sharpness by Kelvin - "http://www.kelvin-photography.com/", but cost is another factor we both considered. Well, beyond the first impression, I felt that Stewart was far too busy and businesslike for us. Guess his popularity and thus his tight schedule made him this way. As such, we decided to look for alternatives. However, for those who are interested, "http://www.clutterme.com/stewart".
The third and the last we met was Leslie. Actually since the first photographer, my dear and I had been guessing on (and boasting to the other on our accuracy later) how our potential photographer look like. Well, he turned out slightly different from what we both expected, but that's not the main point. Similar to Ben, I felt that he was quite sincere and wanting the best from his photography. And most importantly (just like the two we met previously), he had worked on many assignments with our chosen videographer Wai. And so, the deal was sealed, at least I think it is sealed, and doubly sealed when the deposit is transferred to his account on Wednesday by his request.
And yes, another item off the checklist and a day closer to the wedding, so exciting =)
Oh yah, for those who wish to see Leslie's works, "http://www.facebook.com/pages/Leslie-photography/175075442509511".
