Wedding Photography
 

Hello fellow RSers

As some of you know I'm getting married! :heckno: yea I know... ANYWAYS

I'm broke as shit :rukidding: and looking for a wedding photographer/company, any of you have places in mind? and cost? looked on most sites they have samples which look gorgeous but I'm just concerned about costs and what not. If any of you have any input I would greatly appreciate it.

I was going to suggest Mana as well, but wasn't sure on his pricing. He does phenomenal work though :D

I already emailed Tomasz, thanks guys!

Congrats, buddy!

Instead of just thinking about hiring a photographer, it might be worth your while to consider doing the photos + other stuff as a whole package. Potentially, suit+gown rental + bridal make up might end up being cheaper if you bundle it all into a single package from one of the wedding photography studios. Of course, there are pros and cons to both approach, so think about it and see which option you and the missus prefers.

umm.. any places you know of that does that? the wife has the makeup part down already we're just trying to piece together the rest

Judging by your user name, I'm gonna assume that you are an Asian / ethnic Chinese dude. If you or the missus subscribe to the western customs that the groom is not supposed to see the wedding dress before the ceremony, then this one-stop shop wedding studio thing will probably not work for you.

There is literally no shortage of this type of 1-stop-shop wedding studios in Vancouver. The more commonly known ones in the ethnic Chinese community are:

Charlie's Wedding Photo
Amara Wedding - Vancouver Comprehensive Wedding Service
Lovely Wedding
HN Wedding - Richmond's most renowned wedding photography and services.
Bello Wedding World - Vancouver Wedding Bridal Services
Whiteday Wedding

The above is obviously not an exhaustive list, but it includes a mix of Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Mainland Chinese, and Korean wedding studios, so each place has its own distinct style (and price ranges).

Check it out if you're interested, and see if it is something that will fit into your plans.

What style are you looking for? And what's your budget? Any examples you like?

When we did our research last year it ranged from $2k-10k.

Our top picks (quality and price) were:
Nadia Hung
Nouvelle
Wonderlust

I recently got married in January and Tomasz and his crew did the photography and cinematography. Can't recommend them enough! He also did our engagement photos.

i used Bello on main and 16th. i got the photo package and bridal dress rental from them. works good but it may be on the higher side of the pricing.

A buddy of mine does wedding photography, pmed you some details. Congrats!

Check them out, site for searching local wedding vendors, from photography to venues and everything else.

I advertise on there as a wedding photographer, if you're interested, you can PM me

Used their services. Photos with two photographers for the full day + make up came to around $2k, maybe a bit more. That's inclusive of stuff like photo development (forgot how many), DVD (photo slide show for the wedding) etc. This was around 7 years ago though, so pricing likely has changed. And we were pretty chill for the most part, so the relationship went well and I think they had fun too. :)

thanks guys for all the tips, now to narrow it down.

I also do weddings, with my friends company Soul Mates Productions. Look us up on facebook, or send me a PM, and we can talk details. :)

Good luck in your search!

Bumpity, looking for RS buddy guy discount for a friend's wedding.

from a pro on a pro, I vouch for Tom @mananetwork. His stuff is amazing!!

in for the future: wedding photog, wedding package, wedding

Tomasz has shot at least 5 of my friends' weddings. Amazing stuff.

+1 :)

Just an update I went with Lovefrankly he does really good work and the price was reasonable. Tom does some amazing work but with amazing work comes higher prices and sadly asian wedding of 150 already I simply do not have the budget.

damn. such great stuff! love his pics

I could've done it with a stack of those disposable cameras :)

Speaking o which, where's Mana been? he hasn't posted in aaaaagggess



Also, Congrats AZN!
