All About Photographers and Videographers Part 14

[bollin_pop]

Sis raiizea Yun palang nag comment ay past clients nila din.
Tama to book early! Hope you find your P/V supplier na din.
If may napusuan ka na, inquire ka na din to check if they will be joining any bridal fair and if they will offer discounts for early booking.
Happy preps sis.

When it comes to P/V kanya-kanya talagang preference yan pero wag mo din i-compromise.. Make sure to review every portfolio and dapat happy talaga kayo ni h2b na even after kayo magpakasal kuntento kayo sa nakuha niyo. Kasi yun lang matitira sa inyo pag natapos yung wedding eh Kaya better book what's best for the both of you.

raiizea que horror na talaga mga feedbacks sa Nice Print lately. I agree, walang special sa shots nila, pwera kung Celebrity, or maski nga minsan Celebrity parang usual DSLR shot lang, glad di ako nagbook agad kasi noon, super in demand nila nakaka tempt kuhain yung Exige na package. Only to find out there are A LOT of underrated p/v teams out there. Bukod pa sa mga prominent na talaga, so we are lucky we have a lot to choose from.

I think, kailangan na din malaman ng Nice Print tong feedbacks sakanila and they better deal with it before it's too late. May 1 bride ako kausap who got married last month, same feedback.

Meron ako housemate kinasal last year, until now wala pa din daw yung photos and video nila and I heard kailangan pa sila bigyan ng go signal bago nila pwede ipost ng public. Not sure ha, pero I saw some of their shots, not even average.  sad.

[raiizea]

^^ nako sis, kung makikita mo lang ang excel file ko. Ang dami ko ng nainquiran hahaha!! At pgchinecheck ko minsan ulit yung nainquiran ko kasi tinitingnan ko kung tumaas na sila dahil habang tumatagal talaga nagbabago yung price. P/v talaga pinupuntirya namin ibook, aattend nga kami ng bridal fair sa january sa smx, kasi natanung ko na yung ibang nasa priority list ko ng p/v. Baka sakaling discounted sila sa bridal fair or with freebies! But thinking aside, gusto ko pa rin talaga ng hiwalay yung photo sa video, kasi yung type ko talagang photo shots walang tie up na video kaya tuloy isip ako kung pipilitin namin na kunin. Pero malaki talaga ang tipid pagteam na yung photo at video kasi iisa lang yung otf. Haysss..sana talaga may makuha kaming good deal early next year.

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

raiizea nako medyo yan din ang predicament ko lately, may p/v team ako gusto, magasawa sila, magaling yung lalake (video) as in sya talaga gusto ko sa dami ng nasearch ko. Yun lang yung wife nya sa photo, hinde naman sa hinde sya magaling, pero meron ako 1 gusto kuhain sana separate. Issue, mas mahal kung hiwalay sila ang laki ng difference.

Goal ko humanap ng video team na medyo pareho ng atake sa 1st choice ko. Good luck satin!

[raiizea]

^^ well, sis rory sana naman yung price of nice print will complement their works naman and service. Nung nakita ko kasi talaga works nila hindi ako napa wow. Puro lang talaga artista yung clients nila. Minsan naisip ko nga magkano kaya discount na nakuha nila sa nice print or sila kaya ang sponsor ng p/v ni celebrity. Nakita mo ba yung p/v ni karylle? Ganong mga gawa siguro ang sulit sa mamahaling price. Hehe..

[raiizea]

^^ hindi mo pa ba nabook si meg and jane? Kala ko may p/v ka na. Hindi ko masyado kasi type yung style ng meg and jane hehe.. basta natural ang artistic shots talaga tinitingnan ko hehe..

[tealover]

Rory:  Nice naman ng photos ng niceprint na nakita ko so far.  Baka naman nagkataon lang na hindi mo feel mga nakita mo.  

[exquisitegem]

Madami ka pa namang time sis raiizea, research well! ☺️
Tsaka ok din na nagbabasa ka talaga ng mga feedback.

Isa din sa gusto ko dati e yung P/V team na hindi masyado marami. Yung tipong max of 5 sila sa team. Tapos tinanong namin kung sila ba yung pupunta sa wedding mismo. May iba kasi na sikat na photographers tapos sa Premium package na lang sila pupunta, pag yung mga cheaper na package nila, yung ibang senior photographers and junior photographers ang pinapadala. Yun din siguro yung nangyayari sa Nice Print kasi ang dami nilang photographers. Minsan di mo alam sino yung mga newbies, baka sila pala ang maghahandle ng event mo. Oh no!

[rowan]

^Raiizea,

You dont have to splurge on your P/V but definitely don't scrimp on it. Get the one that has the style you want kasi baka magsisi kayo once you see the output. Forever na yang p/v na yan sa inyo. What p/v style are you looking for ba? Bright and crisp photos? Or soft and mellow ones? Why dont you join WaWies or Weddingsatwork? A lot of past brides post their reviews, photos, videos, and sdes there. Just search it on Facebook then subscribe to the Yahoo Group.

[raiizea]

^^sis equisitegem, yes yun na nga nabasa ko sa iba ibang photographers ata pinapahandle pag non celeb, hindi ko alam kung depende sa package pero yung nagpost kasi yung client daw niya yung 160k na package ang kinuha pero hindi daw talaga masaya sa np. Ewan ko lang. Kelangan talaga nila bumawi. Kilala pa naman na sila.

[raiizea]

^^sis rowan, i like the shots of myio okamoto and efjay de leon, kaso ang gusto sana namin isang team na lang ang p/v e. Ayoko kasi ng may dalawang otf charge pa. E yung type kong video, manila, caleruega ako ikakasal.. nababasa ko nga dito yang waw, i'll check nga pano sumali. Thanks for the info!!

[kdramaholic]

^ yup I agree mag prenup ka sis para ma-practice yung pag pose at malaman niyo yung best angle niyo. bonding din yung with your p/v team para less awkward na sa mismong wedding. kami din wala kami alam sa pag pose pero tutulungan naman kayo ng p/v kaya wala problem basta ang key is you should smile more and more!!! as in be naturally happy during the shoot kasi nagrereflect talaga sa photos!!

[MS_JanDel]

Hello mga sis! I think I will be letting go of the 22k deposit to niceprint. As much as this hurts a lot because the amount is very material to us, I just cannot risk our big day. I don't know kung papano namin mababawi yung 22k but I know God will provide.

Since photography is more important to me, I have already inquired with manny & april and blacktie with regards to their packages and availability. If you guys have any suggestions with the same output and are good with candid shots, please share. Preferably sana yung below 70k because we will still shoulder the fare and accom and OOT fee.

I'm planning to get an affordable videographer from cebu, so if you also know a certain team, i'd be really thankful.

Although we are still thinking this through, i'm already listing daw potential replacements.

This is so stressful, looking for a new supplier, realigning the budget, thinking of losing the 22k and of course thinking where we'll be getting the add'l expenses for the new P/V. I'm just so happy that I still have 8 months to go and time is on my side.

Thank you girls for all your feedbacks and sharing all those horror stories. You have saved us from the risk of being pissed off on our wedding day. I'm really thankful for you guys.

[kdramaholic]

Hi sis MS_JanDel just follow your heart.. I know 22k is not a small amount pero kung talagang di ka confident sa NP then let go.. Yes, you still have 8 months at madami pang time para makapag save and di kayo papabayaan ni God.. Basta pag usapan niyong mabuti ni h2b. Sana mahanap niyo na yung talagang gusto niyong P/V team para at ease na kayo.

[MS_JanDel]

Thank you sis. Yung mga gusto namin hindi abot ng budget. hahaha. okay lang naman kami sa fee nila kasi maggastos pa kami sa fare and accom so addl 50k yun. my gosh

mga sis any feedback on Blacktie?? Thinking of getting their P/V package at 154k.. 

[lots-o]

Maybe you can use the 22K for prenup sis. rather than losing it. Then on your next photo just get the basic service without prenup, baka mas cheaper.

[MS_JanDel]

^OMGEEEE sis hindi ko naisip yan. We'll check with them if we can convert the 22k to Prenup session or STD.

We found a phoographer whose based in both Cebu and Manila -- Air Balloon Project, they have been featured in brideandbreakfast na and they won't charge us OOT fee since one boat away lang sila samin. Reasonable price at 65k all photos. Any feedback?? Super takot na ako magbook agad hahaha..

Now looking at videographers based in Manila. So stressed! hahaha

[lots-o]

Oo sis super sayang nga yun,as for us we already lost 10K masakit na yun hehe. Baka pwede mo pakiusapan nalang or read your contract if it states something. Take your time to check muna cebu suppliers marami din magagaling dyan.

[LilaFowler]

^ Can't you get the video team from Cebu din?

I think the more famous Cebu photographers are Rainbowfish and Marky Cantalejo.

I think 65k is ok for photos.

Our is Artline and it's ridiculously cheap - 68k for photo and video (incl SDE with aerial shots but no prenup).
