Help with choices
OK so needs some referrals...I like pennylane productions for videography buut price tag is insane..can anyone refer me to someone with same style but cheaper?
Photography..patken? i like the not so posing pictures...
Hair/Makeup? Im in the west islip area.
Looking for DAMASK anything...any ideas?
FLoral? I am seeing Posh designs tomorrow. Met with Tower Flowers and the man was amazing but still contemplating price tag.
OK also i would like waxing of arms and other special areas lol but i dont want my genital skin to be ripped of by some inexperienced tech who cant even speak to me in english. I also never waxed arms so i dont want red bumps. Any suggestions?

Re: Help with choices
I'm using a videographer named Bryan Sarkinen, and he has a similar style to Penny Lane for half the price. He's in the city, but I'm sure he'd travel.Photography--I've heard good things about Patken, but I'm using Hidden Pixels, which has AMAZING pictures and great references.
Don't know any makeup, but I've heard good things about Roseanna Amador for hair (www.cosmoNY.com). She's in North Bellport, so not too too far.
That's all I can help you with, 'cause I haven't picked a florist yet!

I'm using PATKEN both photography & video & I am so happy with them so far. Had our E-Pics in Sept. Pics in album
all of FH fam has used them about 4 of them I'd say including FSIL & everything I have ever seen was just breath taking.

Re: Help with choices
I have heard nothing but great things about Patken. I wanted to use them; however, we ended up booking with Duet. Their work was beautiful and we ended up getting a great deal for photography and videography.In regards to the florist, I think Flower Michele and Pedestals were amazing. They had such beautiful visions for flowers for my wedding. In the end, we ended up booking with Burtons. We booked with Burtons because the price was great and we heard good reviews from FH's family. They did the flowers for FSIL's wedding.
I don't know anything about makeup yet...

I've heard great things about Patken but we decided on Imagine Studios for photo/video. Their work is amazing, very soft and romantic. FM me if you want more info! Here is a link to their website:Imagine Studios
For florist I highly recommend Designs by Rose. They do beautiful work and really work with your budget.
HTH!

Photo/Video: We are using Duet...but I've heard good things about Patken.
Hair: Dunno yet.
M/U: I'm using Andrea from Lola Loves Makeup...LOVE HER!
Florist: Didn't look yet but will be going to Burtons, Verbena, & maybe some others.
Waxing: for waxing, I suggest Racine's spa in Islip. Rosie used to do my Brazilian and she is freakin awesome! In and out in 10 minutes yet very thorough lol...she's so fast that it doesn't even really hurt.
