Cassarino Brides - Summer 2000
I had a very similar experience to Karen with our visit to Cassarino. Maybe it`s their Whitestone office that needs some more professionalism but they girls were very young (although as I get older, isn`t everyone LOL) and trying to be very experienced-sounding with us, but not really answering our questions properly. One of the first things they did while discussing their packages is try to sell us on a pricier type of album, before we even really looked at anyone`s work. While they showed us a demo video, they sat nearby and chattered, gossiping and played with their hair in the mirror. This doesn`t really have anything to do with the skills of the photographers, but it gave a very careless first impression of the place overall. In regards to their services, it seemed that everything cost extra, like B&W & colorization, I found other places where this was included if you wanted it for a few pics. Cassarino wanted $55 extra to develop a pic in black & white. Still, to be fair, I know several brides who have posted here and have been happy with them. It`s all a very personal choice.
