We`re using Creative Compositions!
We are using Creative Compositions for our October wedding. Our photographer Ernie is incredibly talented and very, very professional. He spent a lot of time with us discussing the different options and showing us pictures. He also wants us to meet with him two months before the wedding, so he can take pictures of us and to see how we all work together (I think this is a fantastic idea).
Good luck!

We looked at Creative Compositions
We met w/ Rocco, and then we also spoke to Ernie. They show you a very nice slide show at their studio. They have really nice work, and offer all different packages. They have won many awards and offer some unique photography options. Although we are not using them, we really liked their work.Let me know if I can help you further. Continued success!

WE met with the people at B rett M atthews and where quoted close to $4000.plus the video started at $1500. Never met with the person himself they kept pushing us off to other photographers that acually do the shoot. We went with someone else. Hope this helps.

Brett Matthews...
Just to share an interesting fact I know about B rett M atthews ...
There is no B rett M atthews! Brett and Matthew are the first names of the *female* studio owner's sons! I thought that was really cute.
Their pictures were beautiful, I just haven't talked to anyone who has used them, so I was hoping for some insight.

I know people that used both, read on!
Friends of ours used them 3 years ago, and their pictures came out beautiful, I don't know how much they paid or who their photographer was. I also had a friend that used creative compositions last September, and although the pictures came out nice, they weren't the best i"ve seen and the photographer missed a lot of important pics. hope this helps!

Brett Matthews...
I'm using B rett M atthews. I am hard to please, but this place was so good. They service and attention is great, the pictures are beautiful and the video! the video! That really won me over. Maybe other places have videos, but there's was like a documentary. A love story with introductory music, black and white pictures. They have two camera people, very subtle and get shots of you - at the same time shots of him. They told me that we get ALL the video footage, which is a ton, and then we pick what we want to include in the 45 minute video. Apparently there are numbers under each section of film?
You also pick your own music. If you want to pay even more you can add on engagement shots, photos, interviews ofyou the groom or family. I think its a nice memory. The photos are wonderful. You get blcak and white, color, leather album, thank you photos, etc.
Expensive, but worth it to us.
