We're looking for a photographer along the coast for a wedding somewhere north of the Bay and probably up a little closer to Mendocino. Any rave reviews or stay-far-aways for the photographer that you have/had would be greatly appreciated.

Bonus, but certainly not required: do you know if they do small weddings and small wedding packages? We don't need a full day because we don't have many guests and are doing a restaurant instead of a reception.

TIA!


ETA: Wow, I just realized that someone asked for Bay Area recs a couple posts down! Wonder why the search didn't find it?

I am this close to booking a husband/wife team based in San Leandro, they would probably charge a bit for travel fees, but their work looks amazing, and they have a super quick response time!

dkweddings.net

If you check out their info page it shows their promotional package for $2000 which includes 2 photographers for 8 hours, an engagement shoot, and a DVD with reprint release.

This is the best deal I've found so far!!

We are using Alicia Gines, aliciaginesphotography.com.  Please let her know that Diane reccomended her.  I'm really laid back and we're having a small wedding.  She's been understanding and works around us beautifully.  It doesn't hurt that she takes amazing photos and is extremely reasonable and can come up with a personalized option for what you need.  Check her out, she's great :)

I just signed with them. Very nice couple. No hidden fees. A great value for their quality of work. They just moved their business from the LA are to the Bay, so they're building their local clientele. I would sign with them while their prices are still discounted.

Hey everyone. This is my first time posting on here. I just wanted to say if you are looking for a wedding photographer in the Sacramento area please check out Photography By Alex! The owner is Alexandra Sommerfeldt and she is beyond amazing. She has done several family portraits for us and also our engagement photos (which turned out AWESOME!!).

You can find her on Facebook: Photographybyalex

Website: Photographybyalex.net

Her pricing is extremely fair. She will work within any budget!

Also, check her out on yelp. You will see review from other very satisfied customers.
