Toronto-Area Girls: BD Marathon?

[EricaG]

Thanks. It is only a week and a half away!!!! Don't worry, I will totally let you all know how things went.

 

Oh yeah, the hotel that they are using is very nice and the cheapest rooms are about $195 a night, and the most expensive are about $495 and I don't think they are going for the basic cheap room either. I am think either the in-between room of the suite!

Ok girls. I had my BD session and would totally recommend it!!! Do it!!! Erica is really sweet and makes you feel calm and relaxed right away. I was so nervous I thought I was going to throw up but hadn't had any lunch to do so. Then I fumbled around in the bathroom trying to get changed and as soon as I walked into the room, we got to business. She came to look at my outfits before I got ready for the shoot, and she just directed me as to where she wanted me and who she wanted me. It was so great and I couldn't believe how quickly it went. I just got back some teasers and posted them on another thread.

I asked her about the interest from Toronto and she of course was wondering how I knew about it, so I told her all about BDW!!!! I guess there was a request for her to go to Nova Scotia too, so she may do a little tour down east there! I see she also added another option that you can order. If you want to see the prices, just click onto a location that she is going to and then it will show you the different options and prices.

Thanks for the info! I guess we need to pick a date that we want her to come - any input? I'm more flexible than everyone else since my wedding isn't til next October. Does anyone else have any preferences?

I am easy going about the date as well since my wedding is October 2010!!!! I am ok with anything January and later. And it's great hearing the positive reviews!

Ladies. I just wanted to share that I did my BD shoot with 2 friends in Toronto with Lisa Mark Photography. She was AMAZING!! We rented an older style loft (very cool, with an antique couch and lots of windows!). She charged us each $400, which included 2 hours of shooting (I think I got over 120 images), hair & make-up by a pro, a high-res cd with all of the images and a photobook! I was super nervous when we got there, but we brought wine and everything felt better. Lisa was awesome and within minutes we were all super-star models!!! Here are her packages:

 

Package A - $400

- Travel to a location of your choice in the GTA

- Full hair and make-up by Tania Beattie (she will stay for the full two hours and do several changes to the hair…she will also touch-up hair and make-up for the full duration of the shoot)

- 2 hours of shooting by Lisa Mark

- 3 outfit changes

- Disc of all high-resolution images (including 10 fully retouched images on the disc)

 

Package B - $350

- Travel to a location of your choice in the GTA

- Full hair and make-up by Tania Beattie (she will only come for the beginning of the session and then leave)

- 2 hours of shooting by Lisa Mark

- 3 outfit changes

- Disc of all high-resolution images (including 10 fully retouched images on the disc)

 

Package C - $200 (Photography only, no hair & make-up)

***NEW - ADD A PHOTOBOOK TO YOUR PACKAGE FOR $75***

A beautiful soft cover photobook which is 8.5 x 11 inches in size and has 10 double-sided pages (can fit 20 full size images or more if some pages are collages) costs an additional $75 and I would be happy to add it on to one of the above packages for you (please note that all images used in the book would be fully retouched).***

Wow, thanks for that info! Her work looks great. Where was the loft you rented/how did you rent it?

 

Are any of you Toronto ladies interested in using Lisa Mark instead of Tait? We should add a poll...

Actually Lisa has the contact. Its a rental for film/photogs I guess. It was $150 for the entire day, so there was 3 of us, $50 each. It was really neat. The hair/makeup girl, Tania, came there with all of here products and did a really great job! She was really amazing; and I thought it was a great deal for all of the images I got. They turned out great.
