Randy Chapman or other Orlando photographers

Hello all-

I wondered if any Disney brides could give me some help regarding booking Randy Chapman?

We are going on honeymoon in Disney in May 2017. Obviously not booked anything yet but we know our dates as we have to go to Disney over the half term holiday at the back end of May. I would like for me and the OH to have a photoshoot in my wedding dress at the Grand Floridian/Polynesian beach. I know that this is possible, as I've seen many brides (including many Dibbers) have this done without a DFTW.

I emailed Randy nearly two months ago and haven't had anything back. I am just looking for a ball park figure for an hour's photoshoot at this location in May.

I was also wondering if anyone could advise on what the payment terms are?

Also, if anyone has any recommendations for other photographers for Disney property, I am all ears!

Many thanks

Tracey

Highly recommend Randy Chapman he did our wedding photos and they are lovely. Not sure what he charges as we booked our whole wedding with Carrie at Destination occassions and she sorted everything out that we wanted and was fantastic.

Thank you for the tip. I've had a look and can see that Carrie does organise photo sessions with Randy so I've got in touch

I would expect an hour to be between $200-$400 depending on how much Randy raises his prices.
Many reports from Randy say that he is fabulous and produces amazing photos, but lacks on the communication department!
As your date is so far away, he will likely be focussing on responding to enquiries much nearer the time. a lot can change in 2 years!
Usually you can secure a date around a year out, i expect you can secure with around $100 deposit, but don't quote me on that!

there are lots of other photographers about as well!

We had Randy for our wedding last year, highly recommend. He can be a little slow at communication and as your date is pretty far in advance I don't know if he would be booking for then yet.

We had Randy for our wedding, he is fab. We are having a family shoot in November for an hour or so and I think it was $250 plus tax.

Message him on FB as he is normally quicker at replying that way.

Other options are:

rootweddings/

mistymiotto/

davidandvickiarndtphoto/
