Thomas Paul

ETA: It is ultimately your decision(obviously lol). I sat down and made a list of everything that each had to offer and what i liked about each one. Go with your gut feeling!

Oh ok good to know what you all think. Anyone going with Bella Pictures? We met with them once but they didn't seem to include much and it was really expensive to add 2 photographers.

I love 12th Night!!!!!!!!! I had seen one photographer before seeing them and I felt so comfortable with them that after leaving there I knew I was going to book them!

Re: its down to 3 photographers

what made you choose your photographer? what was the ultimate deciding factor?

Hey girls! 08er crashing

I would recommend any of those three! They all have great reputations!

I saw TP was your top choice and I just wanted to respond to the 'photoshop' comment. . TP only really does that stuff with a couple of the photos. . . and the originals are always available. Those are usually the ones that get shown off, so most girls see these, because lots of people think they are cool! I don't know if everyone gets to see the majority of his photos. . . .

I just didn't want anyone to get turned off by that, since its something that you can easily tell TP that you aren't interested in if you aren't. . . or you can get the original photo along with the photoshopped version. . .whatever, you get what I mean.

To each their own, but I just wanted to clarify!

I would make up a list of pros and cons for each photographer and just carefully weigh it out! Find someone who you like, they will be around alllllllll day

I would have went with 12th night cuz i heard their prices were the best, but i won a free package from my photographer (nickgphoto.com) at an liw event!

Re: its down to 3 photographers

TP all the way

Although I know people have been happy with all 3. I would just think about the pictures and your repor with the photographer- do you know who you will have for the other studios? I wanted to know the person who was taking the pictures- looked at independents for that reason.

great to know! Something to think about while looking at each photgs work...do you want more posed or candid shots? Some photographers have a more 'sexy' appeal than others too..just things to look at!
