Any thoughts on locations ladies?

Hey girls.. I have stayed at the Waldorf before and I have to say I was really very disapointed. The rooms are not what you would expect for the prestige. I have not issue with the modern look... I hoping that he will be looking at me and not the back ground. If we can get dreams for 200.00 with early check in then I think its a no brainer. I am more concerned with the lighting then anything...

Thanks Kristy!! I think that the Waldorf has just not 'aged' well... =)

I agree that if we can get Dream for $200; then why not? It looks amazing and Kamila is excited about the lighting etc...

I emailed her last night to get a timeline from her as to how the day will go so we can all plan our days. I will let you all know on this thread when I hear back from her.

Hi Ladies,

 

A few quick updates:

 

1) There will be another girl joining us. Her name is Shawn and she works with me! She is super sweet and is getting married in October 09. Not a destination wedding; so I can't bring her into our BDW family!

 

2) Kamila can get Dream Hotel... with the addition of Shawn its only an additional $17.25 per person. King size room, 285 sq ft, for $219.

 

3) Here is an idea of how the day would go.. personally, for me - I don't mind if you girls are there when my pics are done and like the idea that we can all hang out and drink champagne and relaz together... It will probably help me relax more if we are all just having fun. But, its a completely personal decision for everyone. I am good with however you all want to do this...

 

"We will start at about 11:30 - so the first girl can arrive at that time and start the hair/makeup process. The actual shoot will start at about 12:00ish, so the next girl can arrive at about 1:00, then about 2:00 and about 3:00 - if you want to be all separate and not have anyone else in the room at the same time as your shoot.

 

The last shoot I did in NYC the room was relatively small so Michelle had all her equipment set up in front of the bed, with plenty of room for me to move around, move my ligths around and pose etc. All of the girls arrived at once and just hung out, drank champagne and chatted - it was a good time. The girl that went last, after everyone else left, actually said that it was "more fun" when everyone was in the room cheering each other on and chatting and it made her feel more self-conscious to be alone in the room with just me and my cameras and lights!

 

If any of you feel very uncomfortable about being seen by others, you may want the later spot. I think you mentioned Shawn needs a later timeslot so she can arrive at 4:30 and be finished by about 6:00. However if you want to chat with other brides, listen to music and hang out drinking champagne etc - you can all arrive at once. The photo shoot is still just one person per shoot, so you get at least an hour of shooting devoted to each person."

 

Let me know what you all think!!!

I think that I am going to need lots of Champange, but I will be there to cheer everyone on if they do the same for me haha.. let me know what time you want me there!
