We may have found our photographer today. He's the son of my dad's university friend. We haven't had a lot of luck with photographers. Granted, we also haven't been looking very hard, but of the ones we did look at, there was a certain sameness to their work. The one we did like best was busy on our date, and although she did recommend an alternative, we didn't like her work as much. I also considered asking a friend of a friend to be our photographer, however, she posted her latest engagement party proofs online, and seriously the bride-to-be's bum is the focus of quite a few shots, and another view is right up that poor girl's skirt, with panties and cellulite visible. Cross that option off the list please!
So my dad recommended his friend's son. The boy is still at uni, studying photojournalism. Which means, he knows the techniques in theory, and in practice he actually does have a couple of weddings under his belt. We figure this also means he'll be enthusiastic, willing to try new things, and in keeping with a journalistic background, wanting to capture as natural (read: non posed) a moment as possible. At this point I've only spoken to him on the phone, but we're planning to meet up after he's finished with exams (oh, bless) to have a look at his work and get to know him. Hopefully he'll have some good stuff. And be cheap, ahem, I mean affordable.
In other news, I'm learning to knit. My first project will be a blue and grey hat. I may or may not post progress pictures.
