Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

Hey Girls,

I'm a newbie, and am not sure if I'm even posting to the correct thread ( I hope so), but I wanted to get some feedback on photographers. I'm Hindu and am having my ceremony on Friday evening, and reception on Saturday. I researched photographer/videographer packages for about 5 hours on Friday, and 10 hour coverage on Saturday. I got quotes that were nearly $7K. Does/did anyone else have this dilemma, and fell into the same price range, or is it just me? Please help!!

Hey guys I have a question...Im looking into photographers and I narrowed it down to Duval and Leli's....Im not sure who to pick... I def. like Leli's pictures so much better but I kno Duval has done so many indian weddings and I know ppl that have used them...so who would you pick duval or leli's and why?

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

hey melada~ welcome! 7K seems a bit expensive but i think its because you are using them for two days. Definitely shop around so you can get a better deal...who have you gone to see so far?

anyone have suggestions on songs for the first dance and also for the father daughter dance?

i was thinking an english song for the first dance, and indian song for the father daughter....what do you guys think?

hey nitu that's my fsil's name! anyways, i'm pretty sure my fh and I are using ' Thank God I Found You' by Mariah Carey for our first dance because it's sentimental to us~ one of 'our songs' from when we were dating...i have no clue about the father daughter dance though! I think using a hindi song is such a cute idea though

For english songs, try doing a search(you'll see it at the top of the liw screen) for 'first dance song' or something like that...i'm sure you'll find a lot of options

hi sm2007 I'd recommend Duval also because i know 2 people who used them and were very happy. However, if you liked Leli's better then you should do a ton of research before you book and try to find some real ppl who have used them so you can get their opinions. Also, you can always create a 'must take' photo list for them so that they don't miss any of the important moments

Re: OFFICIAL Indian 'Desi' Wedding Thread

Thanks guys!! Leli was asking $6000 and Duval was asking $5350 both include a photographer for the engagement ceremony...Anyway jus wanted to let you know that my fh and I booked Duval yest to be on the safe side cuz we know soo many ppl that have used them also the price was better at Duval.....Thanks again!!!
