Really leaning to R Chapman for photo

[allisonswonderland]

Hi I am really strongly leaning toward using Randy. He can to the album (the story book) that I like and it sounds like a better deal than Disney...convince me. As my dad will pay for the minimum (15,000) plus tax and serv ch, so if I go with Randy I am paying. So convince me that I am doing the right thing and also what could I add for a few thousand to meet my minimum?

I say 100% go with Randy. He was WONDERFUL!!!!!!! I didn't have to give him a long list of pics I wanted or anything. Everything I would have wanted was in there. He has a great personality, and was very warm and friendly. I hate pictures and always think I look terrible in them, but I seriously LOVED just about every picture he took. He's very calming with the pictures, and layed back. He put us into positions he thought would look good, but non of the turn your head 5 degrees right and hold that for 10 mins. He just let us do what we wanted occasionally telling hubby to kiss me. Some of my faves are us just talking to each other as if it's between possed pictures, or just sitting waiting for the limo not realizing he's snapping away. I can't rave enough about him. We had an intimate so I had to pay out of pocket for him, and while I'm sure it's less that what you'll pay, I would totally do it again in a heartbeat. It's worth every penny he charges. Can you tell I'm reeeeeeeealllllly happy with my pictures hehe.

i second the motion. we used randy for our wedding and he is phenomenal. he's so wonderful at capturing a lot of casual moments. the pic i have here on my signature was taken by randy. he's so flexible, so professional, and so nice. he'll even give you the CD's with the pics on them so you can print out as many pics as you want. i say, go with randy. if you want to see my wedding pics, i can give you the links. just let me know.

You will not be disappointed. The guy is a truly fantastic photographer, really creative, and he is also just a really friendly and relaxed guy.
He can get the best out of his clients with ease and we were delighted wwith it all.

I would rate Randy higher than 10 out of 10 if I could.

There is another thread here, title Randy Chapman. Have a look at that.

Hey there.
Definitely use Randy. He and Linda are so nice.
I got over 400 (4 x 6's at no additional charge). The man is so creative.
I did a honeymoon package in Epcot as a substitution with Disney Photography.
Disney wasn't that great. Disney showed no creativity with poses for the pictures.
With Randy you feel like a model. He is awesome.
There is not a single bad review about Randy anywhere.
Disney photography to me is such a rip off.
Just my opinion.
Hope that helps.
Thanks
Gabrielle

Without a doubt..he did our Vow Renewal. Here is a link to just some of the pics he took. There were over 350 in total.

You are definitely doing the right thing with Randy--the CD alone is worth it. I will give you my only caveat--be sure that you are very happy to have mostly the "journalistic" style photos, because that is his thing. My inlaws and parents are constantly commenting on how 90% of our photos are offcenter or not straight. But that is the style that he does...as for how to spend a few thousand!!! Where should we start SEriously--depending on the size of your wedding, I would go for the illuminations or fantasmic party...beyond that you could do the MK shoot, the carriage, live music, fireworks, etc!!
