Photo & Video combo

Does everyone get a separate videographer and a separate photographer? i've barely seen any recommendations that do both.

Re: Photo & Video combo

most people do them separately, although there are many companies that offer both.

Re: Photo & Video combo

Many photography studios offer both photo and video, but I think in most cases it is best to chose them seperately. Just because you find the photographer that is best suited for you doesn't mean that the accompanying videographer is the best for you as well. Or maybe you will get lucky and find the best of both in one place.

Re: Photo & Video combo

I was lucky to find a photography and video team and they both do great work. I'm using Imagine Studios, they are a husband and wife team. She does photo and he does video.

Re: Photo & Video combo

I didn't like the 'combo' deals. I am very happy that I did seperate. I felt that the combos might be priced nicely, but the quality did not compare.

Re: Photo & Video combo

'The biggest mistake that people make is to equate videography with photography. There are only two common factors; both are visual and both feature pictures. The relationship ends there.'

(Author- Deb McCoy)

I took that off Wild Rose's webpage (is that legal?) ... so I dunno, thought that might shed some light!

Re: Photo & Video combo

I used Duval Studios in Wantagh, they offer both video and photography. The package I got was middle of the road and cost me about 4,000$. I haven't seen my video yet, I will be getting it in about 10 days.

Re: Photo & Video combo

My place offered both, I went with them because I was happy with both their photography and videography. Sometimes it's better to have people from the same place because they are used to working with each other and it goes smoothly.

Re: Photo & Video combo

We used Imagine for both photo and video, we love them, and their work. They both do awesome work, we love our photo and our video, both very creative and wonderful. We love working with both Nelson and Lia.

Happy Planning
