Alison's hourly rate (which she charged to my mom instead of her wedding rate, being that we only needed her for a few hours with none of the standard "getting ready" or posed family shots... brownie points right there) was quite reasonable, and I began to consider if it wouldn't be such a bad idea to hire her to capture some moments of our rehearsal dinner. Our wedding photographers, The Wiebners, will most definitely capture a slew of tender moments and fun candids on our wedding day, but wouldn't it be nice to have some professional photos of the rehearsal dinner that Mr. Cupcake's parents are so generously hosting for us? Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to get more photos of our family and bridal party in a more casual setting?
Perhaps this is one of those unnecessary things that we brides start to think we "have" to have while under the influence of a wedding-induced haze. Or perhaps it's really not such a bad idea. So, hive, here is where I plead for your input: have I gone off my rocker? Or do you think this would be a nice extra that will help us preserve our memories for years to come? Has anyone else out there hired a photographer for their rehearsal dinner?
