I met with both and it seems that Duet would be cheaper once all things are considered, such as albums, thank you's and other things. I'm not too sure though who to pick yet...it is such a hard decision.

Nicole kind of blew me off too! I told her the price my friend got through them and that I wanted less things and asked for a price and she finally replied that I'd have to make an appointment.

we met with both as well and we booked Duet I dont know why but when we looked at Duet's pictures we made the decison right there and then... and we seemed to 'click' better with Eric

it would seem to me that maybe they want you (or any potential clients) to meet with them and make your decison based on the work maybe? I dont know, just guessing...

I heard Eric is great. Anyone want to post what they are paying at Duet? My friend upgraded a little and is paying 4,000 for both

With their special promo package I think it was like $3700 but if you wanted to upgrade things like an engagement shoot it's $200 on LI and $300 in the city and you can upgrade the albums. Also they have a different package for $4100 or so which includes a music video and a little more extensive dvd with photos of honeymoon and baby pictures

For the $4,000 my friend is getting the $3,700 package with 2 mini albums, extra thank you cards...a few other things. She said Eric kept throwing more into their package. I like that they have 2 photographers, so someone can be at our apartment when FH is getting ready and one at my parents where I will be. I'll have to make an appointment.

yes, both of the photographers have 2 cameras... also from my understanding one takes more traditional pictures and one takes candids...

I too am biased. I am using 12th night. Then again, I did not check out Duet at all. I basically made up my mind about 12th night after I met them the first time.



Me too...I think Duet is located in Suffolk? I didn't want to drive that far- we hit several studios in Nassau, loved 12th Night, and that was that!

I am going to meet with 12th night next week do you know if they can put a package together for more than 10 hours?



Yup, he did for me!

we wouldnt drive that far either (especially with the traffic and all) but luckily for us they have another office in manhattan and it was just a 20 min ride on a subway from brooklyn

How negotiable is 12th night? Their prices seem pretty good... just curious as to an idea on what people are paying. I saw their packages on their website already. Does 12th night do video too? Any idea on what that runs?



I don't know how much he will negotiate, but he split the price of a second photog (4 hours instead of 8) but charged us less than half, which I thought was nice. We are getting 2 photogs for about $1600 and e-pics are included- we are actually going for those next week!

from my understanding dominic might give you a better price if you pay with cash (that is at least what he suggested when we were there)
