I like duet and perceptions and daniel krieger so far. Thomas paul has nice photography but I'm not a fan of the excessive graphics like the rays of light and light orbs...its just too much for me.

I don't know if this helps, but Thomas Paul gives you 5 to 10 graphic shots in your final product. I received 850 pictures and I think 6 graphic shots. I got married on 1/26 and had my shots back last Thursday (2/7). I got all of my proofs and high res disks of all shots, both edited and unedited in less than 2 weeks. You could probably ask for no graphics, he has someone who does that for him. His proofs really don't need anything done to them anyway (which is why I chose him...and the price . His deal was the best with incredible pictures as well). I have pictures in my album without the graphics, also. If he's still not your style I almost booked with Twelfth Night before I met with Thomas Paul. Their pictures are great, too.

Thomas Paul

I booked with Proline, for both photo and video, cause I liked their work and found them to be very reasonably priced. Plus, you get the proofs on the CD, and they even said you don't have to come back to them to get copies made. I really liked that cause I know a lot of places have the copyright thing and only let you go back to them if you want more copies of certain pics.

Also, I think it's really smart that you're looking to cut down the amount you spend on photography. My sister-in-law and my friend both told me after their wedding, if they had to do everything over, they would've spent the least amount on photography. A lot of people make a big deal saying you want the best photographer, these are memories, etc. But they both told me how they looked at their albums when they got them, but now they don't look at it anymore. In fact, the album is away somewhere in storage. So the whole novelty of it wears off after marriage. And that's why they feel like it's not worth it to spend so much money on it.

Another photographer that was highly recommended to me was Chuck from Artisan. My friend loved him. Not sure of his pricing, and if he gives you a CD, but I guess he's someone to check out.

Ditto!!

I too will suggest TP, but I thought I remembered him telling me he was pretty much full for 2008 - but def no harm in calling!!!

I also really liked 12th night and duet. . .I know you asked about Patken pricing, I think they are actually very reasonably priced (didn't get a quote from them, but it was what I heard)
