Kait --   I'd be interested to hear more about your negotiation with Tom from TLJ.  I really liked him and his work, but I just can't justify his price.  I told him I was meeting with another videographer and he said he's a business man and to give him a chance to work within the other guy's price if it was lower.  I just didn't think he would be able to get anywhere near it since the discrepancy is so large.  My wedding is in 2 months and 2 weeks and he has no weddings booked on that date.  I'd love to get some advice being that I'm not a good negotiator.  If you perfer email, let me know.  Thanks so much!!

    Sorry to butt in, but Tom is definitely willing to work within your budget.  He had given us a quote of $2000 for his deluxe package (which I believe is already down $300) and then when we said that still wasn't in our budget he asked what our budget was.  We told him a price and he said 'deal'.  I'd definitely give him the chance to see if he could get into your range... I can't wait to have him do our wedding after the things I've heard on the board.

    Thanks, Misa!  That's definitely encouraging!  My heart sank when I saw his prices because I knew my mom and fiance would never go for it (despite the fact that I'm the one paying for it, I don't get full control), but if he comes down a bit, I might be able to convince them.  I love that he uses professional television broadcast cameras!  The standard def video looked like HD!!
