We're going to start looking for a Photographer next week. I have a list of four that I would like to check out....how many did you guys see? And do you have any advice as to what I should be asking and/or looking for?? Can you haggle?
Thanks!

Re: Photographers...How many did you look at?
We only looked at one photographer - based on the work they did for my sisters wedding, their albums and their website - Verdi.
You should be looking at their work and see if it's what you envision. See how comfortable you are with them - since you'll be spending an entire day with them and they'll be capturing once in a lifetime moments for you. I'm sure you can work with most photographers to customize a package for your budget.

We looked at seven or eight. That is because I was very picky and I had a specific style in mind that I wanted.

We looked at 3 but I knew that I wanted the third one we were going to see because I have known his work my whole life.

Re: Photographers...How many did you look at?
I think I looked at about 10. I was driven by price and quality but I needed to stay in budget and I did with DUET. It is very easy to go over budget w/ photographer/video. Here is the list of people I saw: 1 Marco 2 Patken 3 Koala 4 ADA 5 DUET 6 Bart Stevens 7 Vivid 8 Impact Imaging 9 Some guy in Wading River- accross street from Majestic Gardens- can't remember his name- George Pliakis
10. Fredrick Studios
I think that's it- although it seems like I went to more and someone is missing.
Because of this wonderful site, I only looked at one and booked this one- Patken.

Re: Photographers...How many did you look at?
So far we have checked out:
Marco Wedding Magic (Marty Willard) Patken Queens Bridal Lavendar Studio Silverfox Alan & Alan Photography
and we will be going to Duet later in the week. I may check out 1 or 2 more that come highly recommended here.
We are having such trouble finding the one we can commit to. We keep going back and forth.
Good luck!

Re: Photographers...How many did you look at?
to me the photographer is the most important thing to me besides the reception place. we looked at imagine, duet, spellman, cassarino, and patken. i fell in love with imagine on this site from other girls proofs and once i met lea and nelson i knew they were the photographers for us. they are a bit expensive, but i was looking for a good mixture of both photojournalism and traditional and they were the only ones who i thought captured the images that i would want at my wedding. i would suggest looking for recommendations from past brides, the style of photos they take, the type of pictures they take(digital vs film), price and chemistry with the photographers
