Anyone used Gary Fox??

[Miniefan]

I am trying to plan my vow renewal for December 2008, and Randy Chapman my first choice is not available for the date I want, so its either change the date or use another photographer, Gary Fox was one of the other photographers I researched, I like his work, but he is a little more expensive than Randy and he gives you less time and less photos but you get the master Cd for both.

I am wondering if anyone has used Gary Fox and has any feedback on him.
I am also wondering if I should just change the date and go with my original choice Randy Chapman.
HELP

I looked at having Gary shoot my wedding, however decided that Randy's prices were so much better. For the same price that you pay to Gary for just photographing the whole day and getting the DVD of it all, you get 800 proofs, the DVD with everything, 2 11X14s, 1 16X20, and a 24page album. For that, plus a trash the dress shoot, my entire photography bill is only $2500 and thats including taxes! I think Randy is better priced, but its up to you what you want to do. I would probably keep the date, because it is in less than a year, and pick a different photographer, but make sure you look at all your options. There was a thread earlier about photographers, videographers, florists etc in the Orlando area, it had a ton of them.

I would have used Garrett Nudd, but he was booked for the day of my wedding. His pictures are amazing though.

Randy wasn't available our day either so we are using Gary. He was very upfront with his prices and told us that since our wedding is on a weekday, we get a discount!

I get to put my dress back on and destroy it! Like I want to walk through a fountain, lie on the grass, or maybe the beach. Its gonna be fun!

Randy is doing your trash the dress shoot? Thats so cool! Do you know where you are going to do it? Awhile back, there was a bride who trashed her dress at Blizzard Beach. She posted one picture and then never came back but it looked really cool.
