Ok I'm a little ticked. I met with ADA photographers in Smithtown tonight and didn't have a pleasant experience. The photographer we met with, Tony was not helpful at all. He took our name and date down and once he saw that he was booked for our date it seemed like he didn't care anymore. He gave us the price list to look over and that was that. He didn't volunteer any info but he did make it a point to say that Crest Hollow (our reception site) doesn't recommend them. It was pretty awkward because we were basically sitting there in silence thinking of questions to ask. I asked to look through one album just to have something to do. We left annoyed because we had an hour and a half drive to get there with a 40 minute wait to see Tony only to spend a total of 10 minutes with him. How long do you usually spend? Most of the vendors I've met with, I've spent over an hour chatting and getting information.
ADA was highly recommended by my FMIL's best friend. She used them for her two daughter's weddings. I was thinking of going to the Selden location and meeting with someone else but my Fiance is against using them now. Heh. OK enough of my complaining! I think I'm going to look into Patken and Imagine. Any suggestions for photographers? Thanks!
Thanks for all the FeedBack! =) I'm calling Patken tomorrow for an appt. I'm also going to call up Fine Arts. They actually left me a message on my machine recently! Heheh.

The person I spoke with when I called up to schedule did ask for my wedding date. I don't understand why they didn't have me meet with a photographer who wasn't booked on my date. Oh well....
