look, I’m not saying it just for you, I just want you to double-check everything so you don't go rushing into anything blindly... just hit up their websites and make your own call instead of taking some random recommendation, because people are always looking out for their buddies

If you're looking at other photographers in the Richmond area, I guess Oliver is the only one doing solid work; the others honestly seemed pretty terrible to me (though, of course, that's just my personal take). Most of them produce photos that look like they were taken back when my parents were getting married—lots of those awkward poses by a tree where you have to crouch down or something... just awful. Now, Oliver’s package for both photo and video is $3000, and I know that's accurate because a friend of mine already booked him for next year. I'm not quite sure what the first guy charges, though.
In my opinion, the absolute best option in the Midwest would probably be Leon Productions—their price is $4667 for both photo and video (a close friend actually used them for her wedding recently).
I really hope this helps even just a little bit!😉

Studio 69 in Indianapolis is actually better and their rates are about the same, plus there's Ivan Photography from the surrounding area who does killer work without breaking the bank... people absolutely love him, he gets nothing but praise...

I've heard nothing but good things, even though I didn't end up using them... we went with someone from Savannah because they were the cheapest option, but they did a solid job, at least based on my friend's wedding. But honestly, Krizmanić was our second choice right after the guy from Savannah.🙂

If you ask me, I'd say you should just go for it... Check out John's photography site... http://www.smartphotography.com You should honestly just head to his site and check him out... he’s not exactly a big name yet, but his work is killer. His videos are solid and the photos are top-tier—probably the best you'll find around Indianapolis, they just have this different vibe to them, plus he doesn't charge an arm and a leg. I actually caught one of his weddings recently where he was doing those drone shots, flying the camera through cranes and stuff, and the thank-you clips were just so high-quality and unique... My cousin told me she was beyond happy with everything, said the whole experience was pretty seamless... $2500 I mean, she shouldn't feel bad about it, he absolutely crushed it even though the weather was total garbage...

I heard Krizmanić tends to jack up the price way higher than what you actually agreed on... plus, from what I've seen, their photography is pretty amateurish. It’s not terrible, but for the kind of money they're asking, you could find someone way better. Half the stuff doesn't even get filmed, and while the photos are okay, they have this tacky, old-school vibe, and the video is just straight-up bad—way too much for those prices... As for Studio 69, they're actually solid, but the guests aren't really there for them; it's more like the couple tries too hard to make everything revolve around the photographer and videographer, so the guests don't really feel connected to their work... I don't know the others, but if they were any good, I definitely would've known... cheers.
