Photography Question.. Please Advise

Hello my FH and I are in the process of booking our photographer and videographer. As of right now we have seen several places and have narrowed it down to two studios; Cassarino and Ariana based on price and package.

Both are offering similar packages with decent prices. Cassarino studios is 400 more. I know Cassarino's has a great reputation and I am a bit worried about Ariana bec of inconsistent reviews.

If anyone has any information on either studio it would be greatly appreciated. Also are there any other studios that you would suggest?

We are looking to stay around the $4000 range with photo/video.
We would like at least 10x10 digital album (approx 100 pics)
parent albums (traditional is fine)
16x20 portrait,
couple other enlargements,
high res CD,
thank you cards,
and save the dates w/ engagement shoot.

Full day video coverage, editing and special effects, recap, chapter points. (basic package)


Thanks so much for your help!!

I met with Thomas Paul and he seemed to have great prices. We didn't book with him only because he wasn't really our 'style' per say..

Good luck!
