Photographers in Nassau

I am ready to begin my search!! yippee!!
I am so excited...After researching like a nut, we are finally getting started and since I am taking off on Wedn. I thought I should use the extra time to visit a couple of places in Nassau first. I am going to Proline and mmm that is about it. Cassarino I am holding off till after I see a few. I like them a lot but I want to be ready to negotiate when we meet with them.
Glenmar is to far North for me especially with the rush hour. I rather see them on the weekend. I made an appt for Queens Bridal for next week and was wondering if anyone heard of Regal Bridal. I called and the phone just rang and rang which sounds suspicious. I left a message with Hi Lite Studios and Camelot is not within my budget. Gray Studios is over my budget too. That is all I have gathered so far in Nassau. And also Ariana Studios anyone heard anything on them? Or what about Full View Photography in Great Neck.
Thanks all in advance for your help. If you have positive or negative feedback on those that I have mentioned feel free.
Thanks

Re: Photographers in Nassau

I would look into DeVito Studios. We looked into them and loved them but then we decided to go with someone closer to me in Brooklyn.

Re: Photographers in Nassau

We booked Patken too.
Saw many photographers, Liked Paul Marino a lot too.
I only spoke to Cassarino on the phone but he was soooo nice! Just too far for us.
Good luck.

Re: Photographers in Nassau

I finished my search of photographers, and my first choice is Patken and my second choice is Spellman. I wouldn't go to Queens Bridal, they didn't impress me.

Re: Photographers in Nassau

I visited Pro Line (in Great Neck) - they seem flexible and they do include a lot in their packages. We went with Cassarino- my wedding was in June and our pictures are beautiful. We are so happy with our choice.

Re: Photographers in Nassau

Thank you ladies!!
I was thinking of Paul Marino. Thanks whoever it was that said Patken is in 4 locations. Makes my life alot easier on the drive to go to Mineola.

Although I really really really like Cassarino.
I am not sure who mentioned they are visiting Lamont but would you mind posting a review after your visit. I found them last night in one of my mags.

I am so nervous for tomorrow! I have no idea why. I am never like this. This is my first vendor besides my reception and my church that I will see on a one-on-one basis. Anyone had this feeling before? I will be dragging (literally) my sister and pulling her teeth to come with me and since she is flaky (her words) she will help me calm down with sense of humor.

Just wanted some feedback from you.
Thanks.

Re: Photographers in Nassau

I booked with Queens Bridal in lindenhurst last night. I met with Glen and he seemed relly nice. My 2 friends used queens bridal in mineola and are VERY happy with them. My 2 other friends used Cassarino they were both happy but their pictures were both too expensive for my taste. Good luck finding you photographer.
