Cruise Photography?

[Shannon1984]

We are planning our wedding on the Dream in 2011. Can anyone tell me how the photographers are and how much they cost about?

DCL photography is hit and miss. We were lucky and had a great photographer, Goran. Many brides are bringing their own photographer, and this is a great option as you can control the quality of the photos you receive.

I have lots in my TR, the link is right below.

Thank you Pinkcow! That answered everything, now I just have to figure out how many pictures I really need. Oh, does anyone know how many poses they do?

I had 1 hour of photography..The photographer took as many as I wanted..we walked all over the decks and there wasn't a limit on poses..he came to the Palo reception dinner and took our toast and cake pictures before he was done.

If I had to do it over again, I would have hired the Roots to come on the cruise with us. But I had so many people taking pictures, I got well over 400 shots ..most better than DCL's

Thanks DisneyDmbNut, I've been reading about your VR on the other thread. I'm only on page 33 but everyones ?'s have been so helpful. Who are the Roots? I'm guessing that would probably be too expensive for us to do, but did you think that disney didn't do a good job with the photography? I really want good memories.:confused3

We used the Disney photographer also, and I have to say that I was very happy. At the time, the cd was not included in the package, which would be my only real complaint. I thought I photos came out great. I guess I was lucky.

They just got back from another cruise..I have no idea what they agreed to,but I love their style and wish I knew I could have hired them

I think DCL uses too much flash..I wish I had also been better prepared for poses..I didn't think about what photographs I wanted to have made
