LOL.

It''s not bad, just average in my opinion. None of the shots really blew me away. I know not every shot is jaw dropping, but there''s usually a couple in every batch that are just "WOW!"

I assume if these are the ones that she''s showing on her webpage, they''re the best of the ones she took, and I''m not that impressed.

One thing that bugged me is that you don''t see pure joy in any of the pictures, they look strained kind of? Maybe the people getting married were just not happy.

I totally agree with elle.

It concerns me that the "galleries" only show 9 photos from each wedding. Frankly, when you're only displaying 9 photos to the public for a wedding where I'm sure hundreds of photos were actually taken, each and every display photo should be great! They're not. Yes, some pics are nice, but there are also a few that aren't flattering at all (and IMHO don't belong in a gallery). That just struck me as really odd.

Don''t put J up for the slaughter Cindy! I don''t want to know!! lol.

I think she is asking too much for what she offers.

You didn''t like echo?

Has moleculeblue emailed you from Gum tree? i got an email the other day but i didn''t look at the website.

If any of those were my 9 best shots from my wedding I would be really upset, I''ve seen way better non-pro pics on this board. Don''t waste your money.

 

[cindygenit]

LOL hawaiian, that is not J!!!

This is the photographer that my celebrant recommended.

 

[hawaiianorangetree]

I think she is too pricey..

It''s hard isn''t it? To find that balance between talent and cost..

I''ll have a look to see what else i can find.. i am bored at work.

 

[purelily]

I agree with the other posters :-/ I dont really see much of a wow factor here. The pictures kinda look washed out? or is that me...

 

[honey22]

Where abouts are you Cindy?

ETA - I just figured it out, you are in Perth right? Sorry, I thought you were in QLD, I was going to give the linky for my photog.

 

[hawaiianorangetree]

Cindy is in Perth with me Honey!!

I just started going through the yellow pages and there are just sooooooooooooo many to look through.

This one caught my eye, not because of her photography skills or the price, just becuase she lives in Medina. (My mum lived in Medina when she first got married).

I kind of like her.. but i guess it depends on what you are after, i think the prices are on par with the other one you posted though i could be wrong.

Thanks for the hawaiian!

I''m in Perth honey! I think we are at a disadvantage in Perth. Its a relatively small, laid back town and there aren''t that many photographers here that are worth looking at (IMO). AND their prices are ridiculous.

LOL just got an email from a photographer who does models too and he is SHOCKING. Bahahahahahahahahahaha

I had to highlight, bold, and italic that sentence because that is exactly how i felt. Probably a disgusting old man. And his wedding pics are sub-par.
