| I was checking out their website and they have a deal, for $2495.00 you can get your photographer, your videographer, and your DJ. That seemed like a pretty good deal to me. But I’ve heard The Pro’s are not very good… Has anyone ever used them or been to a wedding where they were used? Any advice? This is what the package comes with:Photographer:Up to 8 hours of on-location coverageState of the art digital formatUnlimited images shotWeb hostingDigital files stored for a minimum of five yearsDigital negatives as a high res cd-rom with all rights to reprintVideographer:Up to 8 hours on-location coverageIn-camera edit1 dvdDJ:Up to 4 hoursDj is qualified to perform as the master of ceremonies for your weddingContinuous musicCustom selection of musicEvent lighting package: at select moments during the night lighting will be used to enhance the atmosphere. |

| You get what you pay for. I know some people who used them and they have very staged and posed pictures without any good candids. They also were VERY intrusive during the ceremony. . kind of ruined the bride's entrance in my opinion. You also do not know who your photographer is until very close to wedding--in some cases, the day of the wedding. I would never use them personally. |

| I've never heard of them before... the best thing to do is go check them out.. See what their all about. If you do decide to use them, get a contract. Read and re-read it. And the day of the wedding make sure they stick to it. Have someone on top of that so you don't have to worry about it..Sometimes with cutting costs, we have to do a little extra investigating.. Trust your instincts. And just read the contract. make sure there are no lope holes. Good luck! |

| Do some asking of other vendors in the area. They might tell you the truth of what they know, ask any wedding officiates their opinion, ask some of the chapels who would have used them, and any one else. I did find two articles below on them, but when you are in business that will happen. The negative ones sometimes are the only ones who will write a review. The good clients are to busy. Get a contract and someone who isn't afraid of keeping them to the contract for you so you won't have to be the one fretting on your wedding day.Just be careful and do your research.CongratulationsBest Wishes |

| I opted not to go with the Pros because I wanted to be able to sit down with my photographer before hand and go over some shots that I really wanted to make sure happened. I like the shots that don't have a lot of light and the individuals seem like shadows so I wanted one of us kissing. I also had an Audrey Hepburn influence with my wedding, so I wanted to mock a few of her poses. I felt really comfortable with my photographer. We spoke often and he made me feel at ease so I trusted him. You can't do this with the Pros if you have no idea who will be your photographer - you just have to hope that they aren't fresh out of school.Besides, my wedding album is amazing. I don't see an actual album listed in your package. I have my album out and people often look at it. It's not like usual albums. All in all my photographer alone was $2,300 and my dj was $1,000, but they were very worth it. |

| First off, when considering a photographer, check out their portfolios first. If you like what you see, go for it. If they don't work out, find someone else! Consider using a friend & an ipod to save $ on a DJ. |
