photo vent

so i went to look at a couple of popular wedding photo/video today...and one of them actually said to me and FH that the reason most of it has to be paid about 75% before the wedding is to protect him incase of couples getting divorced

and then goes on to say that now that everything is digital it is great because when it was mostly regualr film it would cost them about 5000 to do a job and charge 8000 and only make 3000 and now with all digital stuff it only cost them about 1000 and they get to charge 11000

and he said how he loves my RH and would not miss out on and really looks forward to the CH because it is the best there is

he also belittled me in a sense because i said i wanted to take pictures at all these local sites in between the church and the CH because there is a good amount of time to get it done and HE SAID ohhh you sound like the typical bride whose eyes are bigger then her stomach...i will just YES YOU AND SAY I WILL GET IT DONE AND THEN DO WHAT I WANT ANYWAY LIKE WE ALL DO....

just a strange experience this places work was really bueatiful and the place has been around forever it does do great work and alot of it but it was just strange and i did not get that comfort feeling....

okay i just had to get that out THANKS

Re: photo vent

idk but divorce is the last thing you want to be thinking about when planning a wedding...


i looked at SOOO many photo/video people all over Long island AND Brooklyn....

and many of them are great...this experience today was STRANGE to say the least (again his work was great!)

but i am going with TimeXposures i will be booking Jon on MONDAY...i felt just the most comfortable with him and he has an exciting personality and just kinda understood what i want....

but again alot of great photographers on LI and this experience today i am not venting about his work because it is terrific...HIS PERSONALITY IS WHAT I AM VENTING ABOUT....I WALKED OUT OF THERE WITH FH AND WE BOTH WERE LIKE WHAT WAS THAT.....

I think I met with this guy too, it sounds all too familiar. I booked Proline.

sometimes I just don't understand what vendors could possibly be thinking when they say or do certain things. sorry this happened. they sounded ridiculous anyways

Might this be the place down the block from the Riviera more or less?

Absolutely horrible! DO NOT book them! You should post their info so no one else does either. There are a lot of quality photographers out there!

Look in to Blue Daisy Weddings

How rude!! I CAN'T believe anyone in their right mind would say those things to a prospective clinet!! What is wrong with that man?
Well, it's his losse, b/c I am sure he has turned off other couples acting like a loon

I guess that is his sales tactic I would love to know who this photo is just to see how many people actually fell for that line of BS!

Go somewhere else
