Re: photographers.....
Can only tell you abt Spellman, I will be using their studio for my wedding. Lowest package was around $3000. I'm taking the middle package, $3400, includes all proofs, negatives free after 1 or 2 years(I forget), My album has 50 pics, 24 pics in parent albums, engagement portrait, and a few other pics. They shoot with film, both black and white, and color. Very nice women, with beautiful pics!

Re: photographers.....
I'm using Ray O'Connor.
My package was about $3500 and that was the deluxe package. It includes more than I even need....(IMO)
I wanted to go to a local photographer and I really thought that their pricing was fair and the pictures that I saw came out really good.
I'm from Northport, so I wanted someone who was familiar with the local area. We're taking our epics tomorrow down in Npt. park...I'll let you know how it goes.
I didn't get Ray for our weddings (he was booked) so I got Doug...he seems really nice and his assistant is really nice as well.
I get 2 parent albums, B&W, color and Sepia prints...negatives, 40 pg album, engagement settng and many other extras!
Good luck...let us know what you pick.

Re: photographers.....
I liked Christine from Spelman very much - but she did not want to do our wedding because we chose not to see each other before and we have no time inbtween - so pics were only going to be taken during cocktail hour and she was not comfortable with that

Re: photographers.....
We used Cassarino - don't remember what there packages actually started at, maybe $2000. Proofs and negatives are included, film not digital. We used them in June, and are proofs are beautiful.

If you want a great photographer get tony ferrari. He is awesome and very highly recommended by a lot of people. his phone number is (718) 956-6969. Call him as soon as possible because he gets booked pretty fast.
