Busy Wedding Planning Day!

Well, today I did a lot of wedding related things! And I learned that it is not easy to make decisions regarding the wedding!

I had an appointment at a photography studio at 5pm in Fairfield. I was a little early so I made a pit stop at David's Bridal to see if they had any books with their dresses in them. I had an old one from last fall, so I wanted to see if they had a new one. So, I got my books and made my way on to the photography studio.

The photographer that I was visiting was Abella Studios. I had done a lot of research and had a LONG list of questions to ask the photographer. When I first arrived, they had me sit in a room and gave me time to look through the many albums they had on display. This first photographer was recommended to us by one of Gregg's co-workers who used them for her wedding in June. I was VERY impressed by their work and their prices were very reasonable. The other bonus is that they do wedding videos and give a discount if you book both photography and video together.

Next, I had an appointment at 7pm with a Golden Note DJ in Wayne. I had seen this DJ company at the Bridal Show a couple of weeks ago at the Richfield Regency. The lady I met with was so nice, she showed me all the different packages which basically align with the emcee that you choose for your reception. I had her price out three different levels so I could see the difference. Since the packages come with different lighting options, she took me to a room where she demonstrated all the different lights, it was pretty cool!!!!! Again, their prices were very reasonable and they are a strong possibility for the wedding!

While there, the lady I was meeting with mentioned that they have a photographer that they work closely with and he happened to be there at the time, so I decided to talk with him while I was there. He showed me some of his work, and went through all his different packages with me. He was a little more pricey than Abella Studios but his packages include much more. He seemed like a very good option as well.

I am happy with the start I have in finding the right photographer and DJ, I have several more photographers that I want to look into and one or two more DJ's. Although it is a very hard decision, it is a lot of fun going to meet with all the different vendors. Now it is time for me to go show Gregg all the different packages since he didn't go with me tonight!
