Don't Settle - Austin Wedding Photographer

When it comes to your wedding photography, don't settle for the cheaper photographer.

Wedding photography prices may seem arbitrary but they're not. You really do get what you pay for.

Ask yourself, "Why is it so cheap? What will I be missing out on?"

Chances are the cheaper photographer isn't going to live up to your level of expectations.

If you go with the cheaper photographer you'll likely be missing out on something you value, performance, talent, professionalism, customer service, timeliness, experience or genuine concern for YOUR wedding.

Find a photographer that you love. The relationship you have with your photographer will show in your photos. Cut corners on something that doesn't last as long as your wedding photos.

Speak with a friend about her wedding, what does she value most about her wedding now? Chances are, it's her photographs because they capture the memory and make it last long beyond your wedding day.

9-9-09 Weddings Unveiled

Crystal Hunter had a great idea.

She is the event coordinator and mastermind behind Weddings Unveiled night out in Austin. 

She was married just last year and found that an intimate affair at the Allan house among other brides was an ideal situation to dream up and make plans for a wedding. In the course of making plans, she found that other options like this were too overwhelming and thus came up with her plan. An evening out at a local venue with a small number of local vendors, other brides, cake and wine was just the ticket. So far there have been 5 unveiled events and another is planned for every 6 weeks. For a nominal fee, just $5, you can have access to a number of excellent vendors, delicious food and spirits, and live entertainment. For that matter if you sign up early you can skip the fee all together. Visit their website for details.

The vendors at this event are among the best of the very, very best and not to be missed. Plus, we'll be there next month!

"Wedding planning as it should be... fun, inspiring and memorable."   

We hope to see you October 27th at Mercury Hall.

8-14-09 Wedding Advice.

So I have been working on a blog roll for a couple of weeks now trolling the internets... for new and exciting ideas, beautiful photography and inspiration boards. All the while I keep thinking to myself, if I had it to do all over again, except this time I'm older and wiser with more money to spend. What would I do this time? The truth is, I wouldn't change a single thing. Which is not to say, it wasn't flawed at all, there were tiny accidents and a major music malfunction, but those memories are for me to keep. I would do the whole thing all over again, flaws and all, because it was mine.

The moral of the story is, you only have it to do this one time, and the memories you make, will be with you forever. 

Make it perfect, make it you. 

You CAN do it, even on a budget. 

So have a look at our blogroll, there are so many wonderful ideas out there. Ideas by other budget watching brides. 

It's yours, run with it.

Be Well.
