Blackie said:I hit up a wedding at the Marriott back in July.

The place was decked out, right by the coast, and they’ve got those clean white linens...👍

Got any pics? Also, what's the damage on the chair rentals at the Marriott?

Marko Photography (session + photos roughly $1,000)
Beljan
Ivica Matić
Mia
Vitamin studio
Kockica
Venus
Studio V
Memory
art studio
studio in
Nikola Smernić
Ivica lisjak

photo California
Venus
Sohosustav ... we paid for 500 photos on 4 CDs, plus a 3-hour session on 4 DVDs, along with an album featuring 150 shots in 5x3.5" and 6x9" sizes $1667 and the pictures are truly lovely; I would say those guys are three times better than most of the famous photographers out there, and they didn't even ask us for a deposit—at least not in our case!
Initially, I was considering Lisjak, but he was far too expensive, so Sohosustav seemed to be the only reasonable alternative for me. I haven't posted any of the photos here, but I would be happy to email a few if anyone is interested.

Well, just send them over... let's give them some exposure... I've honestly never even heard of them, which seems like a crime if they actually know what they're doing...

I’m actually looking for some solid recommendations for a decent photo studio. I heard that photo California and lisjak are supposedly good—what’s everyone's experience been like with them?
Also, does anyone have any intel on studio in Venus?

Hey. I can only really vouch for one person, mostly because my wedding isn't until October...
I went with lisjak (the shots were incredible, his approach was spot on, honestly everything I saw blew me away...)
He came highly recommended by the son from Photo plus...he works the exact same way, so I’d suggest him too...
If you're looking at that level of quality—though expect to pay a bit more—you should look into Ivica Matić...I haven't seen his portfolio personally, though...
photo California is also great. I checked them out before I finally settled on lisjak... just a heads up: everyone warns you to make sure you pick the specific team that will be shooting and filming you (I can't help much there since I don't know any individuals)
And of course, there's STUDIO IN from San Jose. The girls on this forum praise them constantly; plenty of people have gone with them...

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Lisjak, too.

Regarding those girls you all were asking about, I am just now sending over the photos via email. They are quite large files, so I'll be sending them one at a time to ensure they go through properly.

I honestly recommend Studio In from the bottom of my heart—you won't regret choosing them! I've used them myself, along with a few other girls from the forum... if you want their number, just shoot me a PM and I'll send it over.

Sure, thanks a million!

Do they happen to have a website?

Sadly, they don't have a website, but I'm definitely backing silentpuma28's recommendation here.

I hired Photo California to handle the photography and video for my party, and I have to say, I’m incredibly happy with their work!

The total came to $1,000, and here is exactly what was included:
two massive leather albums packed with countless large-format photos,
every single shot featuring the guests (which is usually an extra charge),
three DVDs containing the full-length footage, and
one short highlight reel (an additional $100 add-on),
The DVDs feature an intro sequence, a dedicated segment for me, one for him, footage from the ceremony, and a final montage capturing all the best moments from the celebration.

I paid 1,000 dollars, and here is exactly what was included:
two massive leather albums filled with countless large-format prints,
every single shot of the guests (which is usually an extra fee),
three DVDs featuring the full-length versions of everything, and
one short highlight reel (an additional 100-dollar add-on),
The DVDs include an intro sequence, a feature on me, one on him, footage from after the ceremony, and a final montage capturing all the best moments from the celebration.

Alex Carter3 Asks:
The Medena Hotel in Seget... hanging around that $30 to $35 range. Is that really the best we can do?
So, we’re talking about Kokolo restaurant again...$39 (for next year).
The Pirate restaurant... what can I even say about it?Forty-two bucks.
The bill at the Mediterranean restaurant? A cool 47 bucks... and that’s just the projected price tag for next year. Seriously?
The rental hall in Dolis is going for $31... and that’s with the linens included. Is anyone actually buying this?
Kastel Salted fish... what's the story there?Thirty-four bucks? Seriously?
So, what’s the deal with the Holy Cross restaurant over in Čiovo? Anyone actually been there lately?
Marina Frapa in Rogoznica...? Is anyone actually looking at this?
So, what's the verdict on Hotel Jadran in Seget? Anyone actually stayed there recently?
Villa Zarko in Kastel... only $35 a night, even with the linens included. Can you believe that?
Hotel Park... honestly, where do we even begin?It’s going to run you anywhere from $45 to $50, and that's before you even think about ordering a drink.
Bellevue in Trogir... $33 an hour? Is that including tips?
Castello in Kastel... $33 even after the tip.
The F1 restaurant in Trogir... we're looking at 29 to 30 bucks? Really?
So, what’s the deal with the Maestral restaurant over in Plano? Anyone actually been there lately?
Robot Restaurant... $36 for the meal (with toppings included). Is that right? I wouldn't recommend it.!
The restaurant... wait, I think we're looking at 29 or 30? (And no covers included.)
The Mammoth restaurant... that'll run you about $35 all told.
San Antonio... $50?
Alkom... $47? Give me a break.
The hotel president... $37 per person (drinks not included).
)
A price hike? $33? Are you kidding me?
Diklecijan... $33? Are you kidding me?
Pasat-duliovo...$83
Good grief... $30? For that?
Benedikt-bene... $45? Give me a break.
Gašpić Solin... seriously? That's all we've got?$78
Bolero... $42? Seriously?
