This is the reply that I received from Claudia about the pictures. Is this information correct? It also says Photo Packages 2008, is there going to be a different rate for 2009?

nope thats the one she sent me too!! I put a post on the Dreams website and one of the dreams staff said she would pass it to claudia - if she does that its

I was under the impression that Claudia could also be used as the photographer included in the wedding package but I was wrong.... Looking back I don't know why I thougtht that, but any way. I sent her an email yesterday and I have already received a response (she was the one who cleared up the whole her included in the package thing). She sent me a price list and the cheapest package I saw was $1300 for 3 hours. She does an amazing job so I am really considering it, even though it totally screws up my budget. Ugh!!!! I thought I could use both her and Juan. Any thoughts?

Ok sorry two post in a row but after reading the prices of these packages it may be beneficial to hire her?

[Hartyt509]

I suppose it depends if you are going with the ultimate package, because you won't get a credit for what you don't use, and how long you want the photographer for. Juan just cleared this up and so you have him for 90 mins even though you only get 50 pics in the package if he takes 300- 400 you must be able to do a deal with him

 

I know personally we just can't stretch anymore its cost x3 the package to even get there

I wasnt going to hire an outside photographer because of budget but I decided that it was really important to me to have all the pics I wanted, I mean they are for a lifetime. If you think about it, her price really is not too awful. When I told Daniella I would be using Citlalli I was able to get a few other things included since I am not using the package included in the Ultimate package.

Hi I feel the same way! I'm totally bumed that Claudia is so much more expensive. To me photography is a huge part of your day because you can always take that back with you. My TA told me that if I were to find someone else that I would like better who was around my price range that it might be possible to negotiate something...maybe having them pay a day pass. So I will let you know what I find out. Take care!

I e-mail claudia yesterday too, and she sent me price list as well. Since the price range is way beyond of my budget planning, and Dreams will not take that part off from the package price, I'll stick with Juan.

 

Do you girls know if I don't want the album, can I just ask for more pictures to be included instead? Should I talk to the WC or Juan for this case?

 

I rather get more pic since I am a designer, I can do my own album and get it print somewhere else cheap.

[lucy106]

I would start with your WC about getting rid of the album.
