My Dream Wedding

[estee0609]

Hi, I have 2 friends who sign up with MDW. They were extremely satisfied with their service and overall. One of them chose MDW because they did not like another bridal shop (Fxxxxx) that they already signed up with as well. Their MDW package cost them about $10K and they get to travel to Hongkong and take exquisite pictures in one of the tycoon's decorated mansion (10 big rooms, 5 bed rooms & 1 spacious living room). The pictures came out like they are having not only wedding photoshoot, it is as if like models shooting for a top cover page of a bridal magazine! Another friend signed up with MDW at about $5K and their pictures were beautifully taken with special effects that made them looked as if they were in Japan with snows all over. They were very happy as well. Hope this helps. Thanks!

Hi poshberries for sharing. it's nice to hear people talk about their positive experiences with MDW (: But your friends' budget is really generous... $10k for a photoshoot is pretty huge!

Thank you Meiling and Derlina for sharing your experience! I shall go to Far East, Bridal Closet and Marina square to take a look!

Wei, where do you intend to buy your wedding shoes and your HTB's shoes?

Hi estee0609, thks for your comments. My friends were not those rich people but I guessed they saved for a long time. Luckily the packages were both well spent. I do agree that $10K is too much. Fyi, I even heard real stories many couples signed up package for $3-$4 type but during selection of photos, the add-on of photos can also reach an easy "$10K"!!!!

Just think of it & share wif u what happened 2me recently, my bridal shop told me each single photo costs $90/pc and must choose a minimum of 3pcs to create a storyline & series. On top of that, this 3pcs which created a series, will cost me an additional of $140 and is definitely required. Thus, it meant $140+($90x3)=$410 for 3 photos only!! Can u believe this? This is god damn freaking scary!! This means my only sole album can easily costs me $10K as well. Which is no surprise if MDW (a good company) is only charging them for the total whole package (not just on the photos like my bridal shop does) at $10K which is more cheaper in a way. I hope you get what I am trying to say. Haha...

Hi estee0609, try Sinderella at Clarke Quay @The Central or Leapin' Lizard. You can find their info or details from the website. Both shops sell bride's & groom's shoes fyi. Hope this helps. Thanks.

But then again, before i bought my shoes in genting, I actually racky OG and Seiyu Robinson for my wedding shoes. Especially Robinson and OG, they have a wide range of bridal shoes (with diamonds) to choose from..they costs from $49.90- $100++..in fact most of them are $49.90- $69.90...

WHOA!! $410 for 3 pieces! that's insane... just curious, why didnt u choose MDW? it takes a lot of self-control to select photos for the album! actually, i don't really care about album photos.. just hope to get soft copies of the photos. from the posts i've read in this thread, i gather that it costs $50/pc at MDW for the soft copy.

Hi zen, nope it doesn't.. i think for most bridal packages even in other bridal stores, they don't offer AD photographer, unless you manage to negotiate with them.

in my personal opinion, for AD, it'll be good to get another photographer so ur photos will have another diff perspective. if you are on budget, you can look out for student photographers. some of them are very good (hidden talents but not yet established in the market) but their rates are not as exorbitant as the established wedding photographers.

Wow... baobi, just curious, how much did you save for your whole wedding planning? 10k for just wedding photography is indeed a lot! but another thing good is that u also go HK for like a mini-holiday i guess
