I have begun to look at photographers and I have been quoted different prices. I am not sure though what a good price is and what is over priced. If anyone doesnt mind sharing a ball park figure of their package and what they are getting, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much everyone.

VIP studios: We went with the Gold package which was $4,000. It is a digital album with 100 pics. You get two parent albums and and seperate pics also ( 5x7, 8x10) a 16x20 portrait, thank yous, 2 photographers. I booked with him awhile ago so I am probably missing something.

I am a very pleased Duet Bride... I paid 1500 for my photography... And would have paid a million! CLICK HERE for the basic package... The thing I loved most about them was that they are 110% customizable! Anything you need or want they work out for you... or include!
Whatever vendor you decide on DON'T BE AFRAID to bargain!!
Best wishes and Happy Planning! If you need more info, please feel free to FM me! ~Lauren

Re: Photography Help
we booked Patken afetr seeing several brides pictures, we are paying 2400 for an album with 36 pictures, I think 18 10 x 10's and 18 8x8 ( I think), we are also getting an 11 x 14, a 16 x 20, 5o thankyous, all fo the prrofs in a nice album, the negatives, a few extra 8x 10,s, I think 5 5x 7's, I dont remember what else, Im not at home..but we were very happy with the price, we knew what we wanted and were quoted much higher from other places, I really researched and looked at alot of pics, in my opinion, Patken did as good of a job as any other photographer, and their price was teh best! If we booked that day,w e also got 150 bucks credit towrds framing or other things..Im very happy, but will let ya know after my wedding how truly happy I am!

Re: Photography Help
what you have to consider is if you are getting a leather album, how the pics are mounted, etc. All these thing make the price higher. I was quoted $1000 less for getting a fake leather album and cheaper mounting.

Re: Photography Help
We booked Patken - For both photo and video its $6500 - I thought it was a good price - They customize the packages for your needs....I am getting ALOT for my money - I say other photographers and didnt really like them as much... I loved Jennbabys pics and others that I saw and went with it....
Check out Patken in Lindenhurst - Either way they will customize a package within your buget and needs....

Re: Photography Help
its tough to say whats overpriced and all...there are many factors... do they do photojournalistic.. one or two photographers.. photographers film or 35mm film(difference is shown in the enlargements) references, years in buisness..
i picked patken(which makes customized packages) im paying 2600 30 pics in my album 2 - 12 pic parents albums 100 thank yous 20x20 11x11 3 8 x 10 and a bunch of reprints and $150 towards reorders
always try and bargain with the place(most photographers will) most important, pick who you feel comfortable and confident with
