Description of service

The service was 8 hours of wedding photography coverage during my cousins wedding. The service included: 2 photographers (main one for bride and groom, and a 2nd one for guests), 350 color images an d 150 black and white images, 3 proof albums, cd's, and full re-printing and re-publishing rights to the images.


Review of Service

Although my cousin and her groom were happy with the photographers, they said it was so pricey, that they would do it again differently if they were able to do it over again. They stressed that the pictures were amazing and that the photographers did do a good job. They said they were professional and friendly, and were happy with how they interacted in such a positive manner with the guests. However, they said the three thousand dollar bill was too much to handle.


Tips

Tips they had, if they were able to go back in time and do it all over again, were to consider getting a 6, or even 4 hour service. They thought there was a lot of "downtime" and that 8 hours wasn't all that necessary. The other thought they had was to strongly consider a student photographer to really scale back on costs. With technology these days, students can come up with really nice photos, even if they do mess up a bit.
