Photo Finish

The day is beautiful. It’s bright and airy, the bridal fashions are lovely, everyone is eating, drinking and having a wonderful time. I look over to my mom and she’s so happy. Then I realize that no one is taking pictures of our wedding. I start complaining to my mom that the photographer is late—why didn’t the photographer show up yet? He is missing the amazing pictures of this once-in-a-lifetime party.

Then, I realize that I forgot to hire a photographer.

Then I feel stupid.

Then I wake up.

Wow, these bridal anxiety dreams are killing me. It’s like as soon as one thing is settled, the very next thing I’m working on freaks me out in my dreams. I did love, however, that the actual wedding part went off without a hitch in the dream. That made me feel better.

What’s funny is the very same week I had that dream, I was meeting with two different photographers. I got a good vibe from both of them—they both were very nice and had excellent portfolios. The real difference and the tipping point for me was that one offered about twice the edited images for about the same price as the other. So as much as we liked each of them, economically, it just made more sense to go with the greater value. So yes, we found a photographer. I made the deposit and secured the date. After all that hemming and hawing, it finally came together. Woo-hoo!
