So I have now seen a ridiculous amount of photogs and I am having the worst time picking one. Here's the list:

*************
Glenmar
Fleur - d e - lees
Sherwood Triart
Thomas Paul
Imagine
Gina Esposito

And tomorrow I'm going to see Patken, and I'm going to possibly make appointments with Visual Concepts and Wavecrest Studios

But I don't know what to do!!!! I need advice and feedback...I definitely lean towards less traditional, more spontaneous and artistic photos. I am so conflicted...help, ladies!!!!!

I am very picky with photography and booked Thomas Paul.

That being said, I also looked at some of the ones you listed. Two of them I found comparable to Thomas Paul but were way to over priced.

Without saying much about the others, I'll tell you that I felt Thomas Paul's photos were timeless, not stylized but creative, they are not overly photoshopped, or airbrushed so that you look like a barbie.

Good Luck!

definitely Imagine!!

I am using Imagine and I absolutely love them!

I have Ceci as my main photographer. My e-pics were amazing!!! She gave me about 150 pics and each was more beautiful than the next. She really listened to me about want creative and spontaneous pics...we spent 4 hours between Brooklyn and NYC getting every shot I wanted.

Thomas Paul does nice work, we didnt go with them because we werent getting Tom.

Gina Esposito's pics are really beautiful! altho I never met with her.

Patkens style is a litle different from the others you mentioned.

honestly the best thing is to see a few photographers, meet with your actual photographer and see who you click with and whose photos you love the best. When I walked into Imagines office, i loved all the pics on the wall and in the books and I knew I wanted my wedding pics to look that way.

HTH!!!

Re: Which photographer to pick????

love the feedback ladies!!!!

so i met with all my photogs....and despite the added suggestions here, i just cant bring myself to meet with anymore. i'm tired! right now i think its down to thomas paul,. gina esposito, fleur de lees, patken, and possibly f i n e a r t altho i havent seen any feedback about them ( disappointed :( wish i had more user info!). actually really loved patken and thomas paul, and gina and fleur de lees (amanda) had such unique styles...totally torn now! lovey dovey, i know you rave about imagine, and while i really liked the pics, i'm actually more interested in their videography....i struggled not to cry during the video demo! sigh...don't really know what to do, have to sit down with FH and my MOH (who makes all my decisions for me lol) and compare pricing and packages and style...i honestly think this is the hardest choice to make for this wedding!!!!! thanks again ladies!
