Has anyone used Moments that Matter Photography??

[Paige2010]

Hi~ I love the Moments that Matter albums! I have been trying to email them but haven't had any luck since the microsoft outlook on my computer isn't set up yet and they have a direct link. Does anyone have an email address I can reach them at? Thanks

I booked them for my wedding in January 2010. They have been very responsive and I'm looking forward to working with them. I'm not on my regular computer so I don"t have their email address on me but you can pm them as they are members on the forum.

I'm so glad to have found this blog! I have been stressing out about what photographer to use and am really impressed by Moments that Matter. It is also great to read others' great reviews. I have emailed them and hope that they are available on my wedding date.

OMG these reviews are sooo great! I really couldn't make up my mind on what photographer to use for our wedding...but after reading all these I REALLY want to work with them.

Thanks girls for all the help, you saved me!!

 

I just hope they get back to me soon! I hope they're not booked on my day!

Unfortunately they were booked on my day, but I luckily found someone else who I am going to be really happy with.

Did everyone anticipate the high cost for photography? I guess I anticipated about $1,600 plus an album for $2K total.... Looks like I need $2,600 at least for the coverage then my resort charges $500 for the vendor fee.... That is really expensive and I know MTM are the best but.... yikes! How do I justify the photos cost more than the dinner!!!

Hey there,

Try Claudia Rodriguez Photography, packages start at $1500 usd which includes some prints and 3 hours coverage...+ fine art magazine album another $250 USD
I did not anticipate the high cost either, I'm still struggling with this one!
She personally is booked elsewhere for our wedding day, and another member of her team we wanted is Citlalli Rico, who is also booked elsewhere. As of right now we haven't booked anything and not sure what to do! She has a whole team but they were our favs...http://www.claudiaphoto.com/
Good luck and I hope this helped, another good one is Elizabeth Medina...who is also booked for our day...Elizabeth Medina Photography, Mexico Destination Wedding Photographer, Wedding Photojournalism throughout the Riviera Maya, Yucatan and Mexico
I've read a lot of chatter about people sharing costs of a photographer but haven't figured out if it's actually happened or worked in favor for brides?
Again - Good luck, we're still searching too!

I was feeling the same as you, however with MTM you do own your prints and can choose to print them off on your own at a cheaper location. There are many places in most cities and online that will create a photobook for you similar to what they offer for a more reasonable price.
Lastly, for me choosing a small destination wedding meant I wanted some great photos to be able to show to our friends & family unable to attend.
You may not remember the meal, but will you remember all the great moments if you go with another photographer? That's a decision you need to make.

I had read a few reviews from last year where MTM paid the cost of vendor fees when you booked a higher package, they didn't offer this to me (I'm still wanting to ask) but it can't hurt to try.

Good Luck!

I just booked MTM for our wedding on June 19th 2010! We are meeting with Lincoln and Lori in Nov when we go down for our site visit, and we are super excited to meet with them! They let me book at the 2009 rate since I have been in contact with them for awhile, and they are extremely responsive through emails! Theyre prices are more then reasonable!
