Search in your own words. Describe what you need or ask a wedding planning question.
Would anyone be willing to share with me their experience on prices for photographers/ what is included in that price?? FH and I are on such a tight budget, I'm almost thinking of going with a package deal, like Complete Wedding Packages in East Meadow. For photo, video, DJ, limo (drop off and shuttle service) and photo booth, it just seems like its going to all add up SO quick and its so stressful and overwhelming!!
I will FM you quotes. I was on a budget too of $3K.

I'd say for a general photo/video package you're looking around $3,500 (which to me was even more than I could afford). That usually includes one photographer, one videographer, albums, and getting ready photos through the reception. Maybe some additional prints. That's just an average from what I saw and it all depends on what you want.
We went with Fade to Black because we were very tight with our budget (weren't even going to do photos originally, only video) and he was willing to customize his packages to fit in what we could afford and what we were looking for. We actually ended up being able to afford photo/video/photobooth with them. Definitely check him out if you go the separate vendor route.
Also, I like the separate vendor route because you can pick exactly who you want. It does definitely add up, but if you do an all-in-one you're locked into specific companies and honestly sometimes you can get better deals on your own. If you shop around enough you can usually bargain you're way with the vendors you really like.
I paid much less for the photo/video package... My take is to look around. Everyone has different styles. You have to see what style is best for you.
Try Sandi Rufio, ADA Studios and North Island. They wre the lowest I found.
I'm using Prestige Wedding Center for my photos, videos and DJ. They threw in the limo for 3 hours on the day of, two airport rides (for going to and coming back from the honeymoon), and invitations. Our photo package includes SOOOO much!! When you meet with them, you look at several photo albums, wedding videos, etc. The deal they gave us was crazy so we definitely went with them. I booked with Nick, you can tell him Daisy and Dwayne sent you :)

Would you mind sending me FM with any quotes you have? I'd really appreciate it!
Hey girls, sorry just saw this. Sure thing, I will FM quotes in the morn when I get on my laptop.
Photography can get VERY expensive. Definitely shop around!! You can always find a hot new up & coming photographer. We used Gina Esposito but her prices have increased since we booked.
FM!

Definitely this. We also booked with Fade to Black and couldn't be happier. I was weary of some of the all-inclusive packages at certain venues because you may not necessarily get the quality you're looking for with certain vendors. I definitely prefer to keep all of my options open and you can always get a great deal with individual vendors. Good luck!

Wow, the few quotes I've received are practically double that!?!
I have 10 hours including a Pre-shoot, 1 Videographer, 2 Cameramen?, 1 Photobook and then some random sized prints.
I'm on a tight budget, but I do want 'artistic' prints. This is one of the areas I'd like to spend a littleeee extra for quality. Any suggestions?
