I just loved Rosey at Red Rose Photography the day we sat down to meet. Not only are her photos great (online AND in albums), and her price was right, but her personality and professionalism are DAZZLING. She blew away the competition with her warmth and friendliness. I wanted photojournalistic style photography and knew we needed to pay more than the average boring traditional photog., but we didn't want to pay the expensive going rate. We got a nice price, and never went over our set photo budget.
To cut costs we skipped out on prints and an album and will make a coffee table style photo book on the internet, which costs much less than proof books and formal albums. We can also have prints made via the internet. There are several sites that offer the photo books, including Blurb, Snapfish, and Winkflash. Photographers I met with recommended Blurb for quality and reasonable price. I'll look into it more much later.... We can always decide to get a formal album in a year or so.
Our simple package includes:
8 hrs coverage on wedding day (getting ready, formals, ceremony, reception)
DVD of all prints with rights
Online gallery
I'll meet with Rosey closer to the wedding to give her a shot list (list of all the photos I want taken) and a formals list (family members and friends that are included in formal pictures).
Phew! Glad to get that done! Now onto other vendors...
