I used Thomas Paul, and my sister used Duet. My sister, who is older and a little computer illiterate, didn't like Duet at all, she was very put off by the way they have a lot of stuff that you need to do online or on their website or however they structure it...so she didn't recommend I use them when I was looking. I shouldn't have solely listened to her, since I am computer savvy and that wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me, but when your sister tells you something, you tend to blindly listen.

If I could go back, I probably wouldn't have listened to her. If I still made my choice, then that would be all on me, but now I feel slightly cheated. If you're having trouble narrowing it down, you should FM past brides of both. I've found that one faction love their pictures, and another faction loved the service they got...so just weigh out what's more important to you, great service or great pictures.



Would you mind sending me an FM about your experience with TP?

I met with both and LOVED both! It was a really difficult decision. To be honest, I was leaning more toward TP, but FH was set on Duet. We ended up booking with Duet. I've loved working with them so far and our engagement pics (in my album) are amazing! I'm glad we chose Duet, although honestly, you cant go wrong with either one.

Re: DUET vs Thomas Paul

FIRST OFF... DUET, IN MY MIND IS SHADY. SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO LOVES THEM. WHEN WE WENT THERE FOR OUR APPOINTMENT THEY LAID ON THE PRESSURE WAY TOO HARD. WE WERE INDECEISIVE BECAUSE IT DIDNT SEEM LIKE THEY WERE WORKING WITH US ON PRICES VERY MUCH. WHEN I ASKED HIM TO NEGOTIATE A LITTLE BETTER THEY SAID IN A SHADY VOICE 'SEE THAT COUPLE SITTING AT THAT TABLE NEXT TO YOU?' HE GLANCED AT THEM SLIGHTLY AND WHISPERED 'WELL... THEY HAVE YOUR SAME DATE SO YOU'LL NEED TO BOOK QUICKLY.' I LOOKED AT MY FIANCE AND WE CHUCKED UNDER OUR BREATH--- AT THE TIME OUR WEDDING WAS OVER 1 1/2 YEARS AWAY ANDDDD THEY HAVE 4 DIFFERENT PHOTOGROPHER GROUPS AVAILBLE TO TAKE PICTURES OF DIFFERENT WEDDINGS EACH DAY... I WENT HOME TO LOOK AT THEIR 'AVAILABILITY' BECAUSE YOU CAN ACCESS IT FROM THEIR WEBSITE AND NO PHOTOGROPHERS WERE BOOKED FOR OUR DAY, NOT EVEN THAT OTHER COUPLE (WHO I'M SURE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE OUR DATE). I DON'T WANT SHADY PEOPLE AT MY WEDDING AND I DON'T LIKE BEING BULLIED INTO BOOKING.

AFTER I WENT TO MY CAR, I CALLED THOMAS PAUL AND EXPLAINED WHAT JUST HAPPENED. HE LAUGHED AND SAID HE CAN MATCH AND THROW IN MORE THEN DUET WAS QUOTING US. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HIM AND LOVED HIS WORK....

DEF BOOOK WITH THOMAS PAUL!

SO THAT IS OUR STORY. SORRY SO LONG LOL

We booked with TP and couldnt be happier. Tom is such a nice guy and Fh and I clicked with him right away. We were blown away by the tons of albums he showed us.
Duet was on the list too, but they were booked on my day, so we never even met with them.

Either way, I don't think you can go wrong.

Thomas Paul. I was lucky enough to have Tom & Colleen for my wedding. They were great! Tom is such a nice guy, really works with your budget. I was very happy with my pictures. And I can tell you that there are some that I know were taken by Colleen & they were just as great!

We met with Duet and a few others, but went with Proline instead. I really felt the most comfortable with them.
