Has anyone used either of these vendors? I am looking to get photography and video package. I researched many and like the price of these. Not sure about Thomas Paul not letting you call any of the shots. Haven't heard much about Madison though. Please help - this is so stressful! :)
i met both. Madison avenue prices were great and they were really friendly. They were in my top 7 definitely~ TP, not so much...
So if there was a shot you wanted he wouldnt let you give your opinion on the shot you wanted?
Between the two, I'd go with Madison Photo, imo.

It seemed like he had his own style and that was that for the most part. Also, he said he creates your book and wasn't flexible on the format of it. Other companies seem to let you make changes. He does take amazing pictures, so I think he is just more of a 'creative mind' that you are supposed to hire and fully trust. I think if you wanted a shot or two specifically he would take them but def. not a whole list.

You can't 'call' the shots? Like you can't give a list of 'must haves'? (with respect to him fulfilling it to the best of his ability of course)
I haven't heard much good about TP (sorry, maybe this is why) and I don't know the other at all...
I can recommend Studio 27.
I met and spoke to A LOT of Vendors for both Photo and Video and I really clicked with them and they gave me a wonderful package that I'm very comfortable with.
You have to 'click' with your Vendor and it doesn't sound like you have yet.
Shop around till you are 100% comfortable.
These people are with you ALL day and are in your face... you have to be comfortable!
Thank you everyone, this is the first time I posted and I can't believe all the responses already! I will look at Fade to Black and Studio 27. I am in Suffolk but my fiance is in Nassau so we will pretty much go anywhere! I checked out SilverFox, Proline, and ADA as well. I don't know if I'm just so nervous about making a decision that I'm being too picky! Sounds like others have been in the same boat though - nice to know I'm not alone!
I haven't heard great things about Thomas Paul either. I was going to meet with Madison Avenue, but then I met with George Speirs from Right Angle, and felt really comfortable with him. Also, I feel like Madison Avenue's website features photos that look a little dated, which I didn't like.
You are definitely not alone! I got a recommendation about studio 27 and just booked them this week. Listen to Courtz:). Franco and Steve are the best. My fiancé is not thrilled about picture taking and Franco made him feel so comfortable--like we were sitting hanging out with friends. Plus, their work is amazing. And very reasonable packages--they will definitely work with you
