vendor reviews: mark turek photography, susanne from moondance, shutterbooth, george leonard, carl a

Photography – Mark Turek and Anne Harrigan (mtturek@gmail.com).  They were so nice, so fun and relaxed.  They did a great job.  Once again, they were great to work with before the wedding, good about responding to emails and even came to the rehearsal just to check out the church before the wedding.  The photos came out so well.  Whether it was a detail shot, a formal picture with family, an interesting point of view, or just the bridal party having fun, the photos are all great.  I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!   This link also has lot of pictures of the venues if you’re interested in any of them.  www.markturekphotography.com/Weddings/Annie/13538590_Fhiu8#988633383_KgXVQ">http://www.markturekphotography.com/Weddings/Annie/13538590_Fhiu8#988633383_KgXVQ


DJ – Susanne from moondance - skiff2001@yahoo.com.  Susanne was lovely.  She didn’t play one thing on my do not play list, was reasonably priced, and very nice.  Everyone was dancing on the deck of the north beach clubhouse and she helped make the wedding a lot of fun.  I’d definitely recommend her.


Photobooth –shutterbooth - mikep@shutterbooth.com.  This was the item that broke our budget, but was also the most worth it.  Everyone had so much fun with this and we have so many memorable photos.  We got it from 6-10, they brought a prop box (which I initially thought would be kinda lame, but was actually awesome), and they had guests sign the guest book next to their photos as they were printed.  Jill was also great and designed a lovely logo that matched our invitations.   This made the wedding. 


Ceremony music:  George Leonard (sheriffnick@gmail.com).   George was great, very reasonably priced and willing to work around my distance issues, by emailing me recordings of the music he was going to play for our processional and recessional.  He was very patient as I changed my mind several times about the recessional and the final versions were beautiful.   He is also in a band and here is their website.  www.gigmasters.com/coverband/thefreedownloads


Carl Anthony tuxedo: Dan (dan@carlanthonytuxedo.com).  So happy with them.  None of our groomsmen lived in the United States and Dan and the rest of the carl anthony staff were so accommodating about finding a time to get everyone measured and fitted quickly.  The guys looked great!

    I checked out your pictures and they came uut beautiful.  If you don't mind me asking, how much were they to book?  I don't see any pricing info on either photoographer's site.  Thanks!

    well, I can't really tell you exactly what I paid Anne and Mark because we knew them and they gave us a discount since they work with my sister.  So, if you hired them, it would probably be more than what we paid.  However, I know that they are very reasonably priced in general because what we paid was WAY less than what a lot of photographers we looked at seemed to charge.  So, there were two photographers, they met with me before to go over what we wanted, and they came to our rehearsal as well to get a feel for the church and the area.  They came to our house around 2, 1 photographer went to take photos of the boys getting ready, the other stayed with the girls and they stayed until we'd cut the cupcakes, about 9:30 at night.  I couldn't have been happier with them.  They're going to give us a CD too so that we can do whatever we want with the photos.   I'd definitely recommend them!  OH, I'm gonna send you a private message as well...

    Shutterbooth RI - Mike and Jill are the BEST !!!  I booked them for my daughter's wedding back in July. Everyone loved it !! So much fun that everyone is still talking about the fun pics with all the props and now everyone is asking me to throw another big party (for anything) to have Shutterbooth RI there. Definitely a highlight of the night. Thank You Mike and Jill <3

    Nice to hear great recomendations for Mike and Jill at Photobooth.  We booked them for our up coming wedding and it was a little pricey.  I'm sure it will be worth it after reading your reviews!  They did our STD'd too which came out awesome!
