You can actually negotiate this with the Bridal Shop when you sign up for the package. Try and get it as part of the package - to be given FOC (if your total pkg price hit certain value or by paying a small token)
For me, the Bridal shop wanted to "sell" me the negatives and sample photos @ $500.00 as my total pkg price is $4500. The shop is giving away the negatives and samples FOC if the pkg hits min $7000.
I find it too expensive and did not take up the offer.
If I remember correctly, I think you can try Bridal Veil... they tie up with Chris Ling and Studio D'fia... Chris and Kim will return all photos taken in the form of a CD.
Hi, if you go for bridal studios which work with external photographers, you should be able to get the negatives and index prints back at a much lower top-up cost. Even extra photos cost cheaper than that from in-house photographers.
sweetpie, Focus at Imm has it as part of their package.. m friend is having the BV package with Chris ling and she can't get the negatives back even if she pays
Chris ling uses digital camera - therefore no negatives! Your fren ought to have received ALL the photos in digital files in a CD-Rom - all pics are returned, and a set of print out proofs which you can take home after you select their photos! No extra $ is required, it's part of the basic package.
I read from a Photographer Magazine that apparently photos stored on CD's dont last and it is better still to have hard copy by way of negatives. Bec the photos on CD will degrade with time as well as speedy computer technological advancements, in time it will be replaced be stg else more superior so negatives, which is the best form of hard copy (bec it is the original original) is best. Does anyone know if this is true?? Any photographers out there?
Lily, Robin (Robin Photography) returns all negs and proofs. We booked him through Silhouette, but you can book him ad hoc or through other boutiques as well.
Hi Ming,
We really liked the results of Robin's work. Our friends commented that the whole look and feel of the album was very relaxed and easy and they all liked it too.
The best thing is to go into his studio and look at his portfolio to judge for yourself. You can also tell him if you want a certain feel to your album.
We did not engage him for our AD so we don't really know what his AD work is like.
Sanmike bridal shop returns all 3R photos and negative to you. This is part of their package. You can look at their website for more info.
Hope this helps
