Question re the 'Maggie' shot with Randy Chapman

[Beep]

Hi, I'm intrigued!

We're booking Randy for our wedding and I've seen a few people refer to the 'Maggie' shot that he does. What is it?

[PrincessBride010103]

Maggie had a shot in front of the boardwalk sign at the hotel entrance...its an awesome shot and its a must have for me!

[helloirishkitty]

I'm pretty sure it's this picture...

I saved it wayyy before I got engaged because I really wanted the same shot :rotfl:

[Beep]

I remember seeing that and thinking what a fantastic shot it was!

Thanks for replying :goodvibes

You are right! I guess they don't have anything else to do either.

[PrincessBride010103]

You are right! I guess they don't have anything else to do either.

it also appears she made this account for the sole purpose of being rude...look at the post count...2. lets all point and laugh :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2:

[dmslush]

I know Randy is extremely thankful for all of the business that Maggie has sent his way! She has several 'classic' shots that I know several brides have asked for. All of her pictures are beautiful and have been the inspiration for several of our pictures. I know I was lucky enough to get a cake exactly like hers, it was beautiful! She was gracious enough to let me use her photograph to show my coordinator what exactly it was that I wanted.

Don't quote them, it makes it harder for the mods to get rid of all of there posts because they have to go through all of our posts also. :thumbsup2

[caryndisneydiva]

changing subject-

What's going on here? Have I started something on this thread or are you talking about something else?

People being jealous? Point and laugh? :confused3 :confused3 :confused3

No you didn't start anything!! There was just someone that came along and posted some nasty comments. The mods have deleted their posts.

If you see this happening, do you send a PM to a moderator?

Maggie is a personal friend of mine, and I know she would be flattered that so many people love her photos! She really does have some great ones and she looks beautiful in all of them! :)

You and maggie also kinda look alike, has anyone ever told you that? lol

[caryndisneydiva]

i told randy that i wanted the "maggie shot" and he laughed and said, "ohhh maggie, and her trendy glasses frames!" he's so funny!

[sunsh1ne]

i am confused also... i just reread this thing like three time. and who is shez???

[mermaidbride1108]

Maggie where did you go???? There were many regulars that were on here that I thought just disappeared when I came back ready to plan my wedding. You guys helped me so much with my initial questions!!!

[helloirishkitty]

I agree!!

[lpizzuro123]

Yes, I still have those Lenox Minnie and Mickey ears. As you see we are now planning our wedding and have about 70 people on the list - but are hoping for 50 to attend. I eventually did count all those ears and we have 18 Minnie (we could really use more) and I think around 50 Mickey (the number is at home and I do not remember it exactly). Not sure if you were ever able to get the ears or not but we might have an extra Mickey - but will not know until we get a final guest count.

I was originally going to give one to each person with their name on it but as I do not have enought Minnies for the women I might just do one per couple and then the Mickey or Minnie if it is single person coming by themself.

Linda

[Fantasia Sam]

Well IMO I always thought the off topic chat was good in a way because it kept alot of past brides around to answer questions for new brides! I hope you guys come back me often!


FYI

There are other past Disney brides who do still stick around and help :)

[Swmhc]

Girls, girls, girls....we all have good input for those in need of help planning. We may not always agree, and that needs taken to private messages, but let's all get along :grouphug: . I couldn't have imagined planning my DFTW without the help of ALL the WONDERFUL past brides and brides in planning. Let's all be here to help and support the up and coming brides and grooms.

Thanks !:flower3:

I'm sorry I think you misunderstood me. I never said that all brides who have had their wedding leave and never come back to help newbies. I just meant that having that off topic thread they had before was a good thing. It was a way for brides who bonded to stay in touch after their weddings had past. I personally liked having Maggimus and the others around because she was very helpful and wanted her to know I hoped she came back more often. That's all. It's that wrong to say?

[AbbyPan]

Hey ladies! returning to the original topic, I just wanted to add that I absolutely loved Randy (I decided to go with him after seeing Maggie's pics as well).

His prices were cheap compared to what I would have paid here in NYC and he took well over 1,000 pics. Can't say enough about him!!


Hi maggie!!!!!:hug:

[feline figaro]

Does anyone have the link to Maggies pics as im struggling to find a thread that has them all on

I love Randy's work. Maggie's pics are beautiful and are part of the reason why I want Randy for my wedding!

[DisneyFairy19]

Hey Miss Lulu

[Malibelle]

Hey Maggie, Christina and LuLu.

I am on the same page. Maggie helped me chose Randy and we loved him. He took over 1000 picutures. We just got our album too. Here are some pictures of it in case you new brides are wondering what it will look like if you got the package.

I just went on Randy's site and showed my DF his photos (along with all of Maggie's) and he really like them and said we should book him. I also showed him figments engagement photos and he said we should do that also YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I checked with Randy last week, and as of then he was available on our date.

Daniella

We chose the same leather album.. Its so beautiful

[lpizzuro123]

Thanks so much for posting the actual album. This is a questions I have been asking. I love his photos but I want to see what you actually get - the finished product. This looks great - I would love to upgrade to the other type of album but this one is great.

yes, I love it. I didn't know what it was going to be like but its high high quality. I live the coffee table type book you can upgrade but now you can make your own online on shutterfly.com so I am glad I got this one with real pictures. I actually made my own online with the other pictures I liked.

So glad you posted some photos of the ADH. That is where we are having our ceremonyl. My DF and I were just checking out Randy's website and he said "what about inside pictures" - most of the photos on Randy's website are outside. How did your Randy inside ADH pictures come out. I really want to do "table shots" also - don't know if you had these done. This way we will be sure to get at least one photo of everyone at the wedding. I don't remember if you had posted your Randy photos in your planning or wedding journal. Please let me know if you did and if so I will check out your journal to show my DF some ADH photos.

Thanks,
Linda

[DisneyFairy19]

Daniella I love the color of your BM dresses...and the coffee table album is gorgeous.. i am going to have to do one as well

I did post in my TR some inside photos of the ADH, its alot of people dancing and the group photo. The link is in my siggie.

[lpizzuro123]

You posted that second album while I was writing to you. The second book came out great also. We are thinking of doing this for our guest book with our engagement pictures and other "through the years" type pictures.

The album you did yourself came out great.

Linda

[Malibelle]

Thanks Christina, I loved the color

Linda- it would make a great guest book. when I was just down I took that book to our wedding planner( we met up to say hi) One of the other planners was looking at it asking questions because one of her brides was thinking of doing a guest book like that. I wonder if it was you. I think the planners name was Maxine but I am not 100%

[lpizzuro123]

Wasn't me - we did a site visit this past November and will be doing a planning meeting in May. We hope to book Randy while we are down there for our engagement photos.

I will also check out your journal to see some inside pictures.

Linda

[purplegirl247]

Just thought I'd jump in and remind everyone that if they're booking Randy, and they have a particular style in mind, be sure to tell him! I didn't tell him that I was specifically thinking of artistic, "Maggie" shots, and was initially disappointed in what I got. Don't think he's a mind reader. A great guy, but not a mind reader! Tell him what you want, show him examples, and you'll end up over the moon!

P.S. Hey, Maggie! Hope moving to the new house isn't too stressful! Hope you love it just as much as when you were designing it!!

[JaxTeach]

I love the Renaissance albums! I'm attempting to make ours as we did not purchase a package from Randy that included the album. I can't spend $600 to $800 on it outside the package. :eek: I've estimated that I can finish our's for $300-$400. Hopefully it turns out as nice as Daniella's!

[Cinderella Fan]

You and maggie also kinda look alike, has anyone ever told you that? lol

No, we haven't been told that. But seeing how beautiful she is, I will take that as a compliment.

Thank you!! :goodvibes

[AbbyPan]

Angela you and Maggie are both beautiful!

Daniella- I remember you saying that you had to get that leather album seperately. did I read wrong? I love that album!!!!!!! Jon and I just decided on what pictures we wanted and I need an idea of what kind of album to expect.

[Cinderella Fan]

Thanks Abby!!! :hug:

[Summer-Caitlin]

Looks like I missed all the commotion again. I will agree that Maggie and Angela are both stunning. Maggie already knows that her pictures are what led me to book Randy in the first place and I thought she looked stunning in her pictures and well I have made it clear before that I am envious of Angie's figure! Angie you looked amazing in your MK shoot pics. It's so weird chatting to you all on here again, I miss coming over here and seeing you girls.

[AbbyPan]

Very true Summer! ;) I love you're pics, gorgeous! ...i know, its great to be back on!

jaclyn,

how are you making your own? i'm in the same boat with the flushmount prices...are you doing yours on blurb or shutterfly? i want a really thick one for OUR album and i'm going to do mini's for my parents/sisters/IL's...

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Now I want a coffee table album!!! Yours turned out amazing.

[Malibelle]

No Abby, the large album and 2 parents albums came with my package.

[Malibelle]

Not sure if you are commenting on my album from Randy but its not a coffee table style( digital flush mount) album. Its a traditional wedding album. Coffee table albums are those where the pictures are printed on the paper, no actual photo photo paper pictures.

My Shutterfly album is a coffee table style.

[AbbyPan]

Awesome! thanks Daniella!

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Daniella - I was talking about the Shutterfly, it turned out great.

[helloirishkitty]

Caryn--
What I'm making is not a digital flush mount. I don't know much about those, but I think Daniella's album is gorgeous. I found a website that sells the same album that Randy uses for the albums like Daniella posted. The one Randy uses is the Large Renaissance Verona Leather (http://www.proweddingalbums.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=416). I found another site selling it for less (around $200), I'll post when I get home. The albums come in severals sizes-- I believe 12 pages (24 sides), 15 pages (30 sides), 18 pages (36 sides), 21 pages (42 sides), 24 pages (48 sides) and finally 27 pages (54 sides).

Basically you purchase the album and the photo mats (which are around $1 each, they range in size from 4x6 to 10x10). Then I'll have to decide which photos I want to use and have them printed somewhere. You then put the images in the mats with a bit of adhesive and insert them into the album sleeves. I think it will be quite a bit of work, but I can't spend another $800 for our album. Plus, if I do it myself, I can use our MK and Epcot photos from Disney. I think that deciding on the layout will be the most difficult part, but I've got nothing but time on my hands these days with no wedding crafts to create!

So that's my plan... we'll see how it turns out!

[Malibelle]

I don't know what we paid for the large album from randy since we got a package but I asked him about an extra parents album. which was 24 4x6's. It would have been about $300-$350 for one. I just looked at the link and those parents albums are still $200 just for the album, then you have to pay to print all the pictures and do the layouts yourself. Randy did it all. Just something to keep in mind.

i found a similar type album on flushmountalbums.com, but i was wondering how muc work it'll be. as always, you are my inspiration and i'm looking to see your results!

i'm going to email him and see how much this add on will be for me...i don't think i got it in my package with him and i'm regretting it now that i see your book which is amazing!

I'm interested in what the cost will be for "just married" people, like us. The PDF on his website says $738+ for the 30 page album and you get a 10% discount. I'm curious if that is what will be charged, though.
