We are using C. Lynne Productions. Cassie and her husband work as a team and are providing 7 hours of coverage, some prints, $850 towards an albumn, and a disc with rights for $2400. It was one of the harded decisions to make for me, but I chose them in the end because I felt they really got what I was wanting on our day, I want an album, and their work impressed me.

Update: I don't think I'd recommend my photographer to other brides. I'm not overally impressed with my photos and it's taken a long time to get everything. I won't get my DVD and copyrights for another 3 months!

We are using Mark Sorenson (I posted a recommendation before). We wanted a small, local family business. He has a wide range of packages, but we chose a package for $1450 that includes 2 photographers, full day coverage, 4x6 proofs, and a CD of all images with copyright release. We also spent $150 for an engagement session that came with the CD w/ copyright release. We just got the epics back and they are wonderful!

We are going with Beth Hodge Photography. This was by far the hardest decision for us, as we wanted a ton of group shots and didn't see a lot of people that had those, plus someone who we felt comfy with. I think we met with over 10 photographers in person, not counting the tons we looked at online!
We went with her unlimited package, all day with her and at least one other photographer, plus a CD and rights to all the images and a look book, and also the engagement session and CD with all the rights- all for $2200. She does fantastic work and I'm so looking forward to workign with her!

We used Diana Hallford Photography. The decision was so easy. Her husband and I grew up together as neighbors, our families share a special bond. When I met Diana and saw her work I knew it had to be her. She does excellent work for a very affordable price. She has a wide variety of packages starting at $750 and going up to $3000, all of which you can sort of customize. We chose the $750 package which included 6 hours of wedding day coverage, complimentary engagement session with an 8X10 from the session (it was perfect to frame and use as a signing board/guest book), 90 days of online viewing, 100 online viewing cards (they are a business sized card that had our names, the website and password to view all of the pictures plus it included 3 pictures from the wedding on it...it was perfect to send with our thank yous), and a preview magazine that had all of the photos (unedited). We chose to add an additional 2 hours of coverage to the package. From our engagement session we purchased a collage that had 7 of our favorite photos and then from the wedding we did a really cute coffee table album. All in all with all of the above we spent around $1500. Diana is super sweet and great to work with. She is excellent of helping you get what you want and try to stay within your budget. She's creative and has a true passion for her work. Her husband assists her with the photography.

You can check out her website dianahallford.com

Good luck and hope that helps.

We are using Jim Powers. I found him through this website and other folks on this forum. He offered a free engagement session that included a disc with the rights to the photo. His package is $1000, which includes 2 photographers, unlimited hours so to speak (he said he normally arrives early in the morning and then stays until 10 pm or the garter toss, we also get a disc and rights to print the photos. Its only $850 if you only want 1 photographer.

We recently took our engagement photos and were impressed with his work. Thought his pictures were just as good as the more expensive photographers.

We used Mark Sorensen Photography. We wanted to have two photographers, and Mark was able to provide that without a rediculously high cost. What was more important was that we got the full-copyright release and a CD with all the full-res photos, with some touch ups, and we got this (and of course the proof book) pretty fast too.

Also, his brother was our videographer so we got a discount on that too. We were very happy with how the photos turned out.

We got the package we did because it was lower cost than the rest. Its cheaper because it doesn't include an artsy album. My wife is amazing at that and we decided it would be better and more personal anyway if she did it, so this worked out great. (We made our wedding album using Blurb)

We used Heather at Shutter Happy Studios and found her on this site. She was truly the best decision we made. We decided to go with Heather because her work is absolutely amazing. It was exactly what we wanted. I left a review on her knot page. You must check her out.

We are using Jim Powers as well. We chose him because we wanted a no-frills package. We were interested in a photographer taking photos, touch up the ones we wanted and giving us a disc (w/copyright release) so we could do all of the printing. We didn't need a book of proofs, or any of the other common additions to photography packages.

We are using Jim Powers too. If was pleased with his simple approach. However, I didn't know there was an option for 2 photographers,especially for only an extra $150. This is definitely something I need to look into!

My fiance and I have hired Kevin from 49th Street Photo. We have only done the engagement/family pictures with him, but can't wait to see what he does for our April wedding. We couldn't have asked for more. His unique and creative eye created more than we could have hoped for.

I used One Tree Photography. www.onetreephotoservices.com. For the prices, you get everything you need. They also just started doing videography -- wish I had the chance to book them for that. It's pretty amazing stuff.

I'm using Shelley Paulson Photography. She is from Minnesota, and will have to travel to KC for the wedding. She's excellent though! She gave us a deal because she's a friend of mine, but her package was still pricey: $2800. This is for 8 hours of coverage with a second shooter, and a CD. I'm not sure all the rights we get. The reason I chose her instead of someone less expensive was because I really trust her to get the photos and look I want. I've done some photography with her and she's just a really great person. Besides that, she's a phenomenol photographer that uses natural light really well.

We haven't decided for sure on a photographer, but I am meeting with David Tsai of Wirken Photography today. I absolutely love their documentary style approach and the photos of theirs I have seen are stunning. They are on the pricey side...$3500 for 10 hours of coverage and an engagement session. But photography is one of the things we are willing to spend a little extra on, so hopefully it works out!

I really love Katie at http://www.breitphotography.com/index2.php. She's doing our LA wedding next year and our Kansas reception. She's one of those people that makes you feel incredibly comfortable. She's professional, down to earth and creative.

We went with a family friend's recommendation and went with Ria Photography. I picked her because of the recommendation, but also because after I looked at her website, I wanted to meet with her and she made me feel so at ease during our meeting, I walked away feeling really good about making a good choice. We booked with her at 2400, but it included a $400 print credit, and a disc of images. I absolutely love my photos she sent me. She not only had us totally relaxed during the day, but also had personalized touches, like instead of online proofing, she had a little book with our photos she printed and helped us design our album. She brought champagne and chocolate strawberries for our album design meeting, and this tiny fashion photography magnifying scope that made me feel like a magazine editor while picking out my own photos for the album.

I loved working with her and her "extras" made her so worth it. I forget her website because I think there's mulitples, but she's the one in kansas city and she has a new blog and a new site, but google Ria Photography Kansas City, and I'm sure she comes up. She's totally a doll, and I love my photos :) She'll make you feel glamourous not just on the day of the wedding, but throughout the whole process!

We went with Paul McMillian at Van Deusen Photography in Waldo. He was awesome! He has the right combination of modern & traditional. He was courteous, professional, timely, creative, and just an overall pleasure to work with. We received a DVD of our proofs just 3 weeks after our wedding. Also, we were really lazy about getting our engagement photos done and never ended up doing them; the session was part of our package, though, so Paul said we can just schedule a photo shoot for anytime this year. He has several packages to choose from and offers an online posting, as well, so friends & family have the option of purchasing their own photos.

Jesseca Hattey at epagafoto. She is the assistant photographer, so was cheaper than the head Jessica Roark - $3400 for 10 hours on the wedding day, CD with all images, rights to the photos, an engagement session, and CD/rights to the engagement photos. Our engagement pics were fantastic and i've received TONS of compliments on them! It is pricey, but they are so highly rated on all wedding sites that it's worth it. I didn't want to take chances with the photography.

I'm thinking of using http://www.photobybeth.com/
She took some family pictures for my cousin and they turned out so cute! And she is the cheapest I have found. Her most expensice package is $950 plus $150 for the CD of all your pictures. Plus, she does a FREEEEEEE engagement package if you use her!

We are going with Mark Sorenson as well. I looked through so many photographer's galleries trying to decide who I wanted. I loved the pics that Mark took. When we met with him and saw the pics that his assistant takes, it was a done deal. Both have an awesome eye for taking beautiful pics. His prices are great too, bonus! Prices range from 1450 to 2350. The $1450 includes both photographers and is basically all day. He price list says a number of hours, but he said that they don't really follow it since he likes to do the first look pics which adds hours to the beginning of the day.

We also just got our e-pics back and I love them. I hate my picture taken, but he was very good and making me feel comfortable and relaxed.

We have not made a final decision yet but we are meeting with Albaugh Photography and Phomentum Photography...

Albaugh Photography offers a package for 500.00, it includes a 3 hr engagment session and all day wedding coverage, which includes a dvd will all rights.

Phomentum photograph offers a package for 500.00 and it includes a 2 hr engagement session and 6 hrs on the wedding day, dvd with full rights and 75 custom enhanced images. Plus he said you typically receive 200 photos for every hour of booking....now that is an amazing package.

They both have great photos and I am looking forward to booking one of them to do our wedding in October 2012.

We are using Kevin McBride with McBride Photo Design. We chose him for his photojournalistic approach and his ability to really capture the emotions through the lens while telling a story. I know I sound like an ad here, but that's the truth. He really is good.

However, we are using him because our number one pick was already booked on our date. Jaime Russell with Digitalive Images is absolutely amazing!!!! She also has a photojournalistic approach and catches the mood very well. She is also fun to work with and has tons of creative ideas to make your photos unique; but at the same time can have a very classical look if that's what you like. She is amazingly versatile and I would HIGHLY recommend you at least check out her website!

She is completely worth it!!!

We went with Colby Moore Photography. He's based out of Springfield but is constantly here in KC. He did wonderful, and I got lucky and found him when he was just starting out, so it only cost us $550. However, that was a few years ago, and I believe he's a little more expensive, but still within the $1000-$2000 range. He did great! Colby Moore Photography's site

Another great photographer starting out is Liz Ogle. She has talent, and she's just starting out - so she's cheap for now trying to bring in clients.

We're going with Artistic Imagery. They do combo packages with photography and video and for some really great prices. It was hard, we looked at a lot of people, but when we met with Jared and Barb at Starbucks, they were just perfect. They seemed really into us and what we want and they're really flexible. We liked that they're younger (maybe early 30s?) so they have a fresher look. We also liked that they don't do lots of staged pictures, but their work has more of a spontaneous feel. Can't wait to do our engagement photos this April!!!!
