They already havean event beoked for thet evening. Thisis prety dicappointing, given how reasonable their pricesarean¢ how pleased you seemed with their services ast year. Luckily, though, I found several other local companies that've confirmed are available. The cheapest option is aone-person company, Hortley Photography. The photographson her Web siteare beautiful, but I'm uncertain about leaving the whole job to oneperson. What ifshe ‘misses something that a two-person team would catch? For example, she wouldn'the ebleto casily photograph both the award announcementsand the audience's reactions. That's why Tm leaning towardsthe three larger companies Olivi Photo Studio, Faisen Photography, and Countle Photographers. Olivi seems wo have the bestcustomer testimonials, but it would cost about $300 mere thanwe wanted o spend. Faisen and Countle are affordable, and Countle offers some free retouching services, I guess that would be my recommendation.
