florist, photographer, and hair/make up advice

ruby3583

Hey ladies- I am really behind schedule and need your help/advice.  Has anyone used Johnathan Grey florist?  What are your thoughts?  I am also looking for a photographer that isn't outrageous.  We are on a tight budget and don't want to spend thousands of dollars.  Also, where are you getting your hair and make up done?  I keep reading about how happy people like Meghann Davis but I can't find a website, just a phone number/address.

Any advice would be so helpful!  Thank you so much for all of your inputs!

I suggest looking at KWU Photography (Kellie Warren-Underwood).  She is out of Orlando and is wonderful! We are using her for our wedding and I could not be more excited. You should go check her work out on facebook...KWU Photography.  She has packages listed, but if you have certain ideas/needs etc...I would just talk to her.

I also know of a girl Jenn Hopkins.  Her prices are also pretty good and weddings are her forte'.  I believe that she is willing to travel to Orlando.  She is on facebook, as well...Jenn Hopkins Photography. 

I have heard great things about Meghann, as well.  I am  actually talking to her right now about doing our hair/make-up for our wedding, as well.

Good luck to you!

I saw Johnathan Grey's work at a bridal show and was not impressed.  His pieces just looked "eh"

For photography - I know Yanman does a package for $1000.  They had nice photos as well.  I lucked out and have a friend helping with photos or I probably would've gone with Yanman.

For hair and make-up, I would book at About Face Design if I didn't have friends doing these things. 

HTH!

Melissa T Photography took our engagement pictures: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Melissa-T-Photography/116957231677382 There are some posted on her wall, she is very reasonably priced too! We might use her for our reception too. Our ceremony pictures will be done by Abba Photography, it's owned by the Reverend who will be marrying us (Gary Davids).

Chango Bi:

She is an amazing photographer!!! 

She did my engagement photos and wedding photos!

For her quality of work, you would think her rates were outrageous!

She is so easy to work with and very professional.
