Hallmark Photography

Madam A

Hey ladies! Anyone ever used, dealt with, or know anyone that has used Hallmark Photography & Video?? Their photog prices seem more than reasonable but I am just curious if anyone can provide any other insight about this vendor... TIA for any feedback!! Hope you are all having a wonderful hump day

FI's friends used them back in March.  I believe they were a preferred vendor of their reception facility.  I saw the pictures and I thought they were nice.  Nothing spectacular but if you're looking for your basic, posed shots, they did the trick.

That's kinda what I thought too, looking at their website. A co-worker's sister just booked them for her wedding, so I thought I would look into pricing. The package that contains the options we are looking for was really cheap! $1595 for 8hrs, 10x10 leather album, and disc with copyright release.I am having trouble finding those ingredients for under $2000. Think we'll probably keep looking and then meet with a few before making a final decision... UNLESS anyone can throw out anyone else who could come close (and be, perhaps, less "standard" with their shots) Thanks again!

Stay away from Hallmark. A friend used them and was far from happy. Artistic Imagery I heard is really good. I'm using Marc Anthony and could not be happier (www.marcanthonyphoto.com)

A friend of mine used Hallmark and was very happy with their work however; she said the wife (it's a husband and wife team she said) is a real witch. My co-worker used Artistic Images and I saw his pictures and they came out nice and I know he and his wife were happy with them.

Contacted Artistic Imagery and anxiously awaiting a reply. Wanted to book Sharyn Frenkel - perfect fit for us - but she is already booked for our date. Thanks for all your suggestions!

I used Jamie Giambrone from Artistic Imagery, and was thrilled with my pictures! My package was under 2k, but we customized it to fit in our budget. Good luck1

Belles and Beaus Photography out of Newark, DE.  We are so happy with Nicole!  Her work is really well done, her excitement is contagious, her ideas are endless, and I have researched her, and every review I have read has been a very positive one!  I also know that she has the patience of a saint (her son is Autistic, as is our ringbearer, so I don't have to worry about her getting frustrated with him), and I know she will work and work until she gets the shot she needs or I want.Our package was $1595, and that includes all rights on a disc (color, sepia and B/W), engagement session, all day coverage, 2 5x7 coffee table style books, 1 8.5x11 coffee table book, 1-3 big prints (depends on what size you choose, 1 16x20, 2 11x14, or 3 8x10s), album with 200 4x6s, 10x10 album, and the ability to add on other albums as well (different types).With ours, since we get all of our images on a disc, I will probably make our big fancy album online using Mpix.  You design it in Photoshop or Publisher, and can get fancy ones like the flushbound, for much much less.Nicole's website is [url]www.bellesandbeausphoto.com[/url].  Shoot her an email, and tell her Brittany sent you!!
