Though I understand that it's quite a norm that the bridal studio will try to sell the photos, it is actually quite difficult not to make additional purchase. That is because 30 photos (included in the package) is simply too little... We took a total of about 300 photos and after 2 to 3 rounds of elimination, we were left with 62. It's been very difficult to eliminate further as the photo really looks good and is able to tell a story (well we sort of plan it to be so during our photo-shoot but since we cannot have a say on the layout, I'm not too sure if the album will turn out to be as story-telling as I want it to be).
Nonetheless we decided to keep all 62 photos, i.e. we will be making additional payments to buy these photos. There wasn't any hard-selling by the bridal studio, it's simply just too difficult to reduce the numbers further. After the selection of these 62 photos, we need to choose like another 43 photos from it to be used for various things, such as mini albums, photo frame, cover photo etc. All in all, we spent close to 3.5 hours in the bridal studio!! At the end of the day, we are exhausted simply by looking at photos over and over again.
If anyone is reading this, perhaps it's good to consider bargaining to increase the number of photos when purchasing a bridal package so that perhaps there's no need for further top-up. Not too sure is this possible but oh well, never ask never knew but in our case, the 30 photos from the package is definitely not sufficient. Nonetheless, we are satisfied with how the photos turnout and the service/help rendered during out photo selection. +1 more brownie point for My Dream Wedding.

One word: *Tiring*
We had our appointment to chose the photos after our work, which was a serious mistake. Imagine looking at your computer for close to 8 hrs or more already and now had to see TONS of photos to pick those you want for your wedding. *it's seriously strenuous to the eyes*
I remember we were very worried on our photoshoot day as we worry that there was not enough nice photos for us to pick. hahaha!! In the end there were about 300 photos to view from and we had several rounds of eliminations too. *Tip: if you want to save money, you had to be strict with the choosing of photos, if not it will take FOREVER to chose from a big pool of photos just a few that you are willing to spend on*
Once we had a rough gauge of which photos we were interested in (obviously more than the 30 photos that were included in our package) we need to eliminate more as we did not want to spend too much on it. It was very difficult at the final stage of elimination because the album will be in layout form (aka afew pictures in two pages), therefore there were some photos that had similar themes that had to be together then nice. but lets say if we like one/two photos from the similar themes then we can't really pick it either as it would not go well in the photo album. (I hope you get what I mean, >.<)
In the end~~ 62 pictures was it and we of course had to pay extras. I like our new consultant for the photos choosing (at first, I thought it will be the same consultant throughout the whole experience) as she was genuine in helping us pick nice photos and not just hard-selling photos. *super likes*
Out of the 62 pictures, we had to chose pictures for mini albums, bed side photo frame, cover photo for big album, bed top photo frame. *argh* I was seriously tired after it.
Usually for the bed top photo, it will just be one super enlarged photo but for My Dream Wedding, we saw one that consist of 10 pictures and you can move the pictures around like jig saw puzzle. *super likes* haha.. so.. we upgrade to that instead.. =x
Overall experience: I'm just glad it is over.. hahahaha! but I can't wait for the finish product! =)
