Picking a Photographer...

Hi Girls!!!

I'm in the process of making photography appointments. I have this list here that I've made of photographers that get alot praise on the boards and some of the reccomended photographers on the list from the Fox Hollow. I've got price sheets on a few of them but I'm trying to weed out the ones that don't really offer what I'm looking for (photojournalist, digital proofs, negatives etc.) or ones that are just flat-out out of my price range.

I'm asking you girls if you have any pricing information (or any information at all) on any of the photographers listed if you could FM me the info (I've already checked their websites!). Any reccomendations are welcome too!! My main goal here is not to go to any appointments blindly and to only go to the ones that I can be realisticly interested in. I only have 2 nights off a week so I want to spend them wisely .

The places I have in mind are:
ADA Studios (Already have $$)
--Cassarino Studios
--Patken (!! very interested in this one, but i have no info)
Marco Photographers (Already have $$)
Pro-Line (Already have $$)
--Sherwood-Triart
--Duet
12th Night (Already have $$)

THANK YOU!!!

Very weird that patken quotes everyone differently. They quoted me around 6500 for photo and video. I wonder if they price it depending on the day of the week. I loved their work but was turned off when i met with them. I booked with Duet.

I met with a girl at the holbrook patken location. When talking about my must take pics she says 'our photographers hate that pose, you can try to get them to take it but they will probably try and talk you out of it' After that comment i was done. For that kind of money they should be taking whatever pose i want, lol. As i said though, i loved their work. For me it was more of a problem w this one lady's attitude.
