Intimate Wedding - not using disney photographer?

[Cinderella2006]

Hi, i am having an intimate wedding in November and wanted to upgrade my package but by looking on the Disney weddings website, it costs a fortune. Quite a few people on here have recommended Randy Chapman and I would like to use him and he is VERY reasonable! When I emailed my wedding coordinator he said that if this was the case then the Disney photographer won’t come as it may cause conflict; which is fair enough.
Instead we have been offered a Magic Kingdom honeymoon photo session. Has anyone had this and do you think i am being offered a fair deal?
HELP I don’t know what to do know, was hoping to have the best of both worlds!

This is pretty much their standard deal that they're offering to everyone that is using outside photography. Basically it's a smaller version of the honeymoon shoot, but for $75 you can upgrade. They take pictures of you and your DH in front of the castle and carousel. If you pay for the upgrade you get a larger portfolio and *I think* you can add an extra location inside the MK.

We're already booked for an MK photo shoot in our wedding attire so we paid the $75 to have a honeymoon shoot at Epcot.

I hope that helps, and I haven't confused you in anyway.

That makes perfect sense, thank you. I would have liked the Magic Kingdom photo shoot where you can wear your wedding attire but I didn’t fancy the 6am wake up call! I guess this is a nice compromise, im coming around to the idea ... maybe!

Disney is pretty good about offering you something when you don't use their photographers.

I just swapped to a honeymoon shoot instead. I received a beautiful leather album with 20 pictures of us taken around the castle. I wil be uploading them this weekend.
I used Randy as my main photographer as he took around 600 photos of us. He gave me a huge album full of pictures and also the disc if I wanted to print off any others.
He was fantastic!
