I got my proofs back!
They look amazing but I do remember pictures being taken of things and the proofs arent in there so I called and I am waiting for a call back on that. For example I KNOW they took that traditional picture of the invitation, shoes and garter, but its not there.

Could it be that it didnt come out?

Eric told us that they edit the proofs so you do not get all the pics that were taken - he said that they usually don't give duplicate pictures or pictures with people who have their eyes closed, pics that were under or over exposed, etc. Hopefully those pictures that you want came out okay and they can give you the proofs!

I am going to sign the contract on Monday. Does Duet take credit cards for deposits?? I was just wondering...

Also, did any of you negotiate price and got it cheaper?? I am planning to at least negotiate the sales tax (to save it)..

Yes. And for the other payments as well (not sure about the last payment though, that may need to be by check or cash)

I'm having my Casual Day shoot today. Wish me luck with the thunderstorms. I think I have Joe's team. Has anyone used him and who is on his team?

Thanks,

Thomas

We had Joe and Woo. They were awesome and so fun.

We actually requested them after we looked through all of the books in their studio. We like two photographers equally. Eric told us one set was quiet, and one was really outgoing and fun, so that's who we picked.

Our pics came out great too!!!

I don't know if they will negotiate the price, but they will throw in things for free if you ask.

Sunflowers74,

The thunerstorms held out to the point where I don't think it did rain all night. Damn weatherman had me stressed to the max. Rescheduling is hard with 3 different parties.

Joe and Eric were awesome . Reminded me of why we choose them in the first place. Got some great pictures on the beach. Felt nervous at first but they both made us feel so comfortable. Joe was one sneaky *******, in a good way. He just kept showing up and taking pics. Kinda like a ninja with a camera. My fiancee kept wanting to see the pics but Joe wouldn't let us. I really never had any doubts as to their skill and how they made me feel but it put any second guesses my fiancee had, and now she's having alot (comes with the stress of having less than 2 months left ).

I'll post pics when I get them. 3-4 weeks but that's to be on the safe side. Joe said 2-3.

Best Wishes,

Thomas

PS.

Nicole is expecting again. She looked stunning. The whole crew over there has always responded quickly and never had an attitude or gave me a wrong impression.

Congratulations to Nicole and Eric and Family

I'm not sure which they will have.

Re: OFFICIAL DUET PHOTOGRAPHY THREAD

So no one has heard of sam huh?

What about scott?

What kind of personality does he have. Same was kinda quiet and dint tell us what to do alot but I think it was becasue he didnt speak english very well. I mean ..dont get me wrong...he was great, I am just hoping scott is a little more outgoing to deal with my 14 person bridal party

If you pay the rest of your payment in cash or a different credit card they said we dont have to pay tax

I believe you can't use a credit card , only cash and check for the rest. The deposit you can use a credit card and I think last payment only.

You should call and speak to Eric.

Try to negotiate with them and don't forget ask them to write down the name of your photographer.
