Hey, guys - I noticed you two talking about clw photography yesterday - btw, Cookies, those pics are amazing!  FI and have made the last-minute decision to get a photographer, and we're setting up an appointment with clw.  I wondered if you had any words of wisdom, caution, or general impressions that you'd mind sharing. 

I'd also love to know (if you didn't mind sharing) how much you're paying for what sort of package.  The site only gives a start-off package price, but we're interested in more hours/more photographers/engagement session (maybe).  FI is in charge of contacting vendors, but he doesn't always remember to ask all the questions I would. 

Feel free to answer here or to PM me.  Thanks, ladies!

Cordell is great He has all that you are looking for and more he has a photojournalistic approach to photography instead of posey posey stuff. The package I got was $1850 and it included a engagement shoot 8 or 10 hours I am pretty sure its 10. Upgraded disc so we can print of pictures up to an 11X17 adn it came with a parents album. He knocked alot of the price off and you even get a discount if you sign with in 48 hours of the meeting or something like that. He is great with communication. I dont have one single complaint but I will if he doest get my e shoot album to me like ASAP just kidding I am kind of impatient. I hope that helps if you need anything else just let me know.

Why thank you mat!

I will ditto sheshe on her glowing recommendation. Both Cordell and Sheree are extremely nice and accomodating. Tell them What you want and they will work with you.

We have pretty much the package sheshe has. They are very organized. They just sent a form for us to fill out detailing our day and letting us describe 10 "must have" formal shots. Our ceremony will begin at 4, but they will start at 1 and be there until 9.
I anticipate there being a lot to show you all once we get them (arund the end of September). But by that time, you will have had your wedding!

Sheshe- when did you take your pics? It took 30 days for him to put ours up. Of course this is the busy season. Hang on lady. They're coming!

I took my pics on June 25th and I am approaching the 30 day mark and it is driving me nuts I was really hoping to have them before the 30 days or a least a sneak peak. I need to order the guest book so I really need them soon so i can make sure that I have them for that besides the fact that I am dying to see them!

Well, we met with Cordell and Sheree this afternoon, and we've signed with them!  We're really excited to work with them - but since the wedding's so soon, we've got to get our engagement pics done as soon as possible - so it's going to be on Friday.  That means I have to find something to weaaaarrrrrrr!  Thanks so much with your help, ladies.  I think we're going to be very happy with this decision.
