Outside Photographer

[rao363]

Hi, My family and I are interested in having a photo session at the Polynesian. Since photopass no longer offers the family photo session, I am leaning towards an outside disney photographer. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I think the 2 packages that Disney Fine Art and Photography offer are pricey and you don't get much for what your paying. The $300 package would have been something to consider IF you got copy rights to your photos, but you do not. Thanks!

The sessions formerly offered by PhotoPass are now being offered by Disney Event Photography. The price is higher—$150—but you get all your images on disc with a copyright release. The locations are still AK, Poly, BC, and GF, and the sessions still last 20 minutes.

They also offer the $350, 1-hour session you mentioned but, as you said, you have to pay $50 extra to get your images on a hi-res disc (printing up to 8x12) or $300 extra to get an archival disc (up to 30x40).

There are numerous threads on this board with recommendations of outside photographers, many of whom also do family sessions. Here are some to get you started.

i highly recommend Randy - not only will you get some terrific pics (i've yet to see a bad one) and he gives you loads of pics. Hes cheap as well and very accommodating and can probably taylor make a package for you.
