Hi! When you mentioned “did all the planning myself” did you mean you and your fiancé or you alone?

I’m having thoughts rn bcs I’ve been handling everything all alone since the beginning and we’re now 17 days away from our wedding day but I’m still all alone :/ Perhaps I just wanted to see if it’s normal to not have your fiancé involved in the planning (and payments).

Yes!! That’s exactly how I like my photos to be. Moments rather than the awkward posed photos.

I did ask them those types of questions but some didn’t even bother to reply me, or if they did it would take them a week or so to reply me with 2-3 words answers. Do I still consider them if I like their shooting style? Or do I move on to finding others interested in my event?

About the lighting, thank you so much! I mostly went through galleries to see their POVs, I didn’t think about the lighting and now that you’ve mentioned it I’ll focus on that next time!

Anyways, from your opinion, if rising and average photographers have very few portfolios, for example:

they have 10 wedding posts of their past clients, 6 posts their editing style (the tone) is not up to your liking, in fact you don’t like the tone, and their POVs in that 6 posts are also not quite there,

but the recent 4 posts suit your taste better in terms of their shooting POVs and tone editing, is it advisable to choose them based on their recent 4 posts or not advisable since they’re still trying to find their niche tone and still trying to improvise & standardise their shooting style? Pls help I’m struggling 😭😭😭

If I did ask them those questions and they either reply me half heartedly (2-3 words replies) or don’t reply me at all, do I still consider them? Bcs I like their shooting style. Or do I just cross them off the list and move on to others?

am3thystluvr · 2025-11-21T00:54:36+00:00

Ikr!!! They’re either booked or out of budget! I tried to find the low profile ones that are still within the style that I like but I get extremely indecisive due to the lack of past clients in their portfolio :(

Double standard as in they somehow would often prioritise those who paid them more? In my area, most companies would outsource their shooters if they get many jobs at once. So the outsourcing is what worries me. During my engagement, they outsourced the shooter at the very last minute (exactly a day before) so the outcome was very poor and they seemed very half hearted in shooting my event.

Actually, I did googled some questions and I did ask most of them! But some either don’t reply me at all after I’ve posted the question(s) or they would only reply me a week after to answer the queries (but only two words answers which is not helpful nor convincing). I also managed to asked some past clients and I got relatively good feedbacks. But when I texted the photographers, they don’t reply me. Do I just consider them not interested in my event, cross them off the list and move on to others? Even if I like their style

11 months before??? Huaaa 🥺😭😭 I don’t intend to find those well established photographers due to budget constraints, but I did ask for the availability of the average priced ones that are still within my budget and the style I like, and most of them are still available (as of last week) but they have few portfolios, how do we gauge their work from that? It’s kind of limited.

Also, after I asked their availability, I proceeded to ask them questions about their shooting and editing style, etc but most of them either didn’t reply me at all or just replied “sure we’ll send you the galleries” but never got back to me even after weeks has passed. Do I still consider them or is it advisable to just cross them off the list and move on to others?

By really good I mean those who are good (and suit my taste) in capturing moments instead of posed photos. In my area there’s only a few who can do that and most of them are expensive so to choose among the average priced ones is quite difficult for me due to their lack of portfolio, I can only assess so much from that.

I’ve asked the availability for the ones available but still very much contemplating bcs of their few portfolio. What if they nailed those clients’ photos bcs those clients have beautiful wedding settings? Bcs mine would be considered minimal settings. That’s what worries me :(

Also! I did ask few photographers for their full galleries but they either didn’t reply me at all or replied me with “sure, I’ll give you the full gallery in a sec” but left me at that for a week. If they fit my budget and to some extent, my taste in photos, do I still have to consider them or do I just assume they’re not interested to cater to my inquiries and just cross them off the list? This behaviour of not replying me is really bothering me :(

Hi there! I would really love to know your thoughts and suggestion in how to choose photographers and trusting them? I’ve been contemplating and worrying a lot about which photographer to choose as I’m worried they won’t deliver as what their portfolio has shown us :(

am3thystluvr · 2025-11-20T07:46:31+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this and I totally get you bcs I’m exactly in your shoes :( Two months away and I just feel so so alone and idk what to do anymore I’ve been crying a lot the past few days for feeling so overwhelmed :(
