All About Photographers and Videographers Part 15

[pinkypie]

Hello mga sis. Tanong ko lang baka meron ng studio1 bride dito? Nakapagbook kasi kami sa bridal fair and halos lahat ng add-ons e binigay na samin so sobrang laki ng natipid. So ayun  ang question, maganda and maayos ba sila magtrabaho? Okay naman yung nakita kong mga photos and videos pero syempre iba pa rin yung personal experiences.

Hi sis iamgorgeousKT! Congrats on your engagement. You mean Ghe Consolacion? Videographer siya. Happy preps!

[iamgorgeousKT]

Sis kdramaholic, anong name ng company ni Ghe? Pwede ko ba siya i-search sa google as Ghe consolacion lang? Kasi naman si boyfie saken lahat pinaubaya ang pagpili. Sabi niya saken pumili daw ako tapos magbigay na lang siya ng comment kapag hinde niya type... hay nako...

@iamgorgeousKT, sis check Lula Films, I got them for my wedding. Maganda ang style and output.

Just an update lang, I already requested na makuha na yung pics and when we requested it they told me na after 40 days makukuha from the date of our wedding. I texted them yesterday sabi nila today daw until nag text sila kagabi telling me na na-corrupt daw yung USB na pinadala namin. Sabi pa nila they were trying to fix it the whole day kaya papalitan na lang nila so Sat na nila maibibigay. I asked kung need ba namin to replace it, sila na lang daw magpapalit. Medyo na-sad ako.. And si hubby din kasi brand new naman yung USB (sandisk) pero marupok. Kaya sa mga bibili ng USB be careful what brand to get. May ganito pala na pwede mangyari.. I'm just hoping na sana ok na talaga sa Sat at wala ng aberya. They told me naman na complete na daw yung papadala nila and good thing di na-corrupt yung files. Haaaay.. My only comment about their team is they should be proactive sa pag inform samin kasi kung di pa ako nag follow up, di pa kami magkakaroon ng date kailan makukuha.

^ Good to hear that sis. I have a friend, malapit na first anniversary nila as a married couple, hindi pa nila nakuha yung albums. At least yung sayo makukuha mo na and then you can forget all about it.  Also thanks for sharing about the flash disk brand. I'll take note of that when I'm creating backup files for our songs during the big day. Just in case.

Hi mga sis sino sa inyo dito naka experience na kay Heart Skip Studios? mababa lang rate nila at dahil sa tight budget kami plan namin kontratahin sila. Anyone here na may review sa kanila? tnx!

[Carlyndj]

@Carlyndj:  Hi Sis!! I saw na you were asking who to book for the director. Check King's profile in their website. HE IS REALLY GOOD! Even their Bora photog (Kat San Juan) who got married got him as their director. You can type in "Amazing grace Kat and Jerrold" for a sample of his work. SOBRANG GANDA!! Even Fiel, who's one of the owners, got King as their director in their wedding in Bali. Happy booking sis! Exciting yan!!! 

Hi sis. Thanks. We chose King nga. Dapat si Fiel but Fiel is. Ot accepting weddings na i think.  Sa photog si Jamie but havent seen her works pa

[winkar22]

^ Jamie Lihan? She's good!! She was previously with Imagine Nation and isa sya sa top photographers nila. I can say you are in good hands with Jamie!

[marywater]

Hey girls. Hindi ito bagong issue dito sa thread na to, pero just want to share na magpapalit na rin kami ng videographer.

We have that major problem that we can't ignore so kahit na mabigat sa loob namin mag-let go ng nabigay na downpayment, we just had to do it. Nung una parang nag-iisip pa ako ng paraan so we won't have to let go of that non-refundable downpayment, pero sabi ni H2B it's easy to replenish the money we lost, but we won't be able to get back whatever happened that day. 

For our peace of mind, ayan, magpapalit na kami. 

[sakinah]

Girls how about Chris Galang Photography? May promo sila ngaun at maganda package kaya gusto namin iconsider.  Anyone here na naka-encounter na sa kanya?

[kdramaholic]

Hi sis marywater, grabe naman di pa din nakukuha yung album? Baka madami pina-edit yung couple or stated sa contract? Pero usually after 5 months available na dapat yun. Yes, be careful na lang on what brand to buy para iwas aberya. :p

Awww at least you and h2b both agreed to let go na si videographer.. Mahirap kasi talaga pag di kayo sure lalu na napakalaki ng role nila sa wedding ninyo.. Ma-eearn niyo pa yung pinang DP niyo, eh yung wedding once lang yun kaya dapat talaga makilatis ng mabuti.. Though, challenging din talaga mag kilatis sa part natin. Usually, makikilala lang natin after the wedding na kaya important din talaga kung may mga reviews na yung supplier.. Best of luck sa preps, sis! I'm sure your new videographer will be worth it!

[marywater]

^ Thanks sis! Also, praying it goes well with your meeting regarding your pictures para happy happy na at wala nang problema.
Mukhang mas kampante kami ngayon with the new videographer. I will definitely leave a review here after all the wedding preps.

[crunchysweet]

Hello, may marerecommend ba kayo na photography/video na worth 10-20k lang pero maganda kumuha ng shots? Kung pwede po baguio based kasi sa baguio kami balak magpakasal.
Thank you po sa magrereply.

[sophistique]

My concern naman are the out-of-town fees although I should have braced myself for such fees when we decided to have a "destination" wedding. I feel sad that I might not be able to book the photographer that I want because of her OOTF. She has the most expensive OOTF so far of all the photographers I've asked plus two-night accommodation for 7 people. Ayoko naman sana tipirin ng sobra yung budget for videographer.

Can you recommend PV packages that are around 100k (or less) including na miscellaneous fees? I have inquired with CamZar and Zoombox so far.  They have a special "team" package pala though it's more than the 100k mark plus OOTF. Thank you so much.

[winkar22]

Hello sophistique! Masakit talaga ang OOTF  Hmmm... You could try to inquire with Jay Mayuga x In Demand Wedding Films. They have an ongoing tandem promo. Can you share where your destination wedding is?

Hi crunchysweet! So far ang lowest package na narinig ko for P&V is 30k which is Studio1. Iba-iba naman tayo ng pagtingin sa mga pictures/videos. Maybe try to check their works na lang din.

[tomatostellar]

sis sophistique you can check BrideStory para sa mga p/v - pwede i-fliter sa city kung saan based yung supplier. sa 100k makaka kuha ka na ng maganda

[sophistique]

Thank you so much @tomatostellar and @winkar22! Checking Jay Mayuga x InDemand and BrideStory now. Mine's in Baguio lang naman kaso sa rate sheets ng photographers, nandun na rin sya sa category ng other local places that require flights.

@crunchysweet, you may try Hijo de Foto studios pala, basic package is around 18k but of all Baguio-based photographers, it's HDF's works I like most.

[lizzietseng]

Hello there!  Do you by any chance know any good photographers who have big photo studios (good for 21pax) coz' am looking for one for our family photo shoot next year sana.... Tks mga sis for the reply
