We got our CD from Randy a few months ago (we took a long time to choose our pics.... oops). I will upload a few of them to share with you. They're not on his site anymore since our wedding was a year ago tomorrow, but Randy is amazing!!!! I can't imagine having had any other photographer. I hope he's still around in 9 years when we do our 10 year vow renewal. Seriously, Randy is the best and worth every penny!!! I wouldn't have changed anything. :thumbsup2 Maggimus will tell you the same thing as well. Their pics are amazing also. It's so great to be able to relive those moments a year later and feel like we are right back there again...

Oh, my goodness, Maggie! You looked stunning! And I am so glad you were thrilled with Randy. We have already contacted him about doing our Disney Vow Renewal in January 2009. You can be sure I am going to contract with him as soon as possible!

Mabel -- One last question -- can you tell me who your MK photographer was? Yours are among the most beautiful and artistice MK portrait session pix I have seen. :sunny:

[Lizby]

For those of you who used Randy: Did you get to select the pictures that go in your album or does he pick them for you and then just give you the CD of all the pictures he took?

Thank you!! He is amazing and you wont regret it, I promise!!

In the intimate package (3 hours) he chooses the photo. If you do a higher package with the leather matted album then you get to choose.

I'm gonna jump on this 'I love Randy' bandwagon too :goodvibes Here is a link to my wedding TR, I know it's long but I have loads of pictures from Randy in my TR. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1574263

He did an amazing job and I have no worries about recommending him to everyone. When we have our VR, he is definitely the man I'm going to hire!

[keenercam]

Thank you, Maggie!
Caitlin -- oh my goodness! You are just gorgeous!! If I had not already decided to use Randy, your photos would have convinced me beyond doubt. The one with the jewelry and the mirror and the one of you getting out of the limo are among my favorites. You looked just glowing with happiness!

We had Vicki. Whoever will be your photographer , I strongly recommend that you think about postures and at what spots (balcony, front end of castle, etc) of castle where you would like to take more photos. They all were kinda in a rush to do things at the end of the session because the whole session was only 1 hour.

For example, by the time we arrived at the castle at 6 am , the sky was still dark. We prefer taking exterior castle photos at later time ,so we asked her to go inside castle first that morning,and then by the time we were done with taking photos Carosuel and interior, the Sun had already risen :)

Thank you so much for the advice on timing and the order of shots. I hadn’t thought about that. And I definitely think it is something I should write down now because I probably won’t remember it on that day. Thanks! :hug:

[monana]

No, sadly, Randy cannot do the MK portrait shoot. I emailed with him about doing our "wedding" day shots in the MK in the early am and he confirmed that we have to go through Disney photography to do that.

[tchan03]

Yes it's true. You must go thru Disnet Photography for MK Portrait.

Just throwing my two cents in...Randy is AMAZING!! We have him booked for our wedding next year and already had our engagement session with him. He has an amazing personality and is SO easy to work with! I also thought it was cool that since we put our deposit with him on our date 18 months out, he would refund our deposit if we weren't able to get the date with Disney confirmed at the one year mark. I thought that was very kind of him. :)

Randy is absolutely incredible!! DH and I both hate having our pics taken. He made us feel so relaxed and comfortable.

He put the photos in the album on his own....but he put in just under 500. The discs had even more than that! We will be using Randy for a family photoshoot sometime this year as well.

He is not just a photographer....his creativity and eye for "the shot" is amazing. We have so many unique shots, he more than exceeded our expectations!
