The one where we choose our photographer

So, who did we pick? We'll get to that in just a minute but first let's discuss our options a little nit.

Both Red Apple Tree and R. Schindler Photography have styles that we really really love and would like for our wedding day. They are also both on the lower end of the spectrum price wise in comparison with the other photographers we checked out (but still far out of our original budget). Red Apple Tree is a two person operation which would mean we would have a second shooter while Russell is a one man show, although he mentioned he could find someone to shoot along side him if need be. Red Apple Tree is local while Russell isn't but we know Russell personally which would be a big plus.

In the end though, we decided that we would rather have Russell in the wedding instead of working at the wedding so Kyle instead asked him to be a groomsmen and we met up with Red Apple Tree at a local coffee shop to make sure we meshed. You guys, we ended up talking to them for two hours and it was natural and fun, exactly the feeling you want with a vendor. We decided to sign the contract that day and sent in our deposit later that week.

We just had our engagement photos done last month and I'll give you a little teaser before I post about our experience:
