Photo Opp
After much researching, debating, discussing, analyzing, delaying, walking, budgeting, negotiating, we have officially signed a contract with a photographer! We decided to go with Mr. Stacey Photography. The name may throw you off a bit, but as with any interesting name, there is a story. Mr. Stacey Photography is really two photographers, Stacey and Yola. Stacey is actually a guy (a pretty cool guy, too). Due to the common association of the name Stacey to a female, they named their business "Mr." Stacey to avoid confusion. Why not use his last name? I don't know, but that's not too important to me at this point.
There were so many factors to consider in this decision, and while it was all about photography, it was so often comparing apples and oranges. Some studios offered unlimited time, while others included two photographers in their prices. So it was really difficult to effectively break down and compare the overall value for our money. In the end, I think it really came down to the quality of their work. Mary and I both really liked what we saw both online and in their albums during our visits. the pictures were clear and crisp, yet exciting and truly representative of how we wanted our day captured. We also both really like their approach to capturing multiple perspectives of our day, e.g. through the eyes of our guests as well as us.
Their service includes a photo album credit as well as a engagement photo session to help us "get comfortable in front of the camera." Anyone who knows me knows that I like to take a lot pictures, but I'm not used to being in front of the camera too much. With Stacey and Yola, though, I'm really confident and excited about the great pictures we'll have when all is said and done!
