Can anyone give any suggestions on picking a photographer? I feel like it is hard to pick just on work alone. I highly doubt that a photographer would use his or her's worst work in a portfolio. Also, if anyone has any referrals for photographers in the Columbus area, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Depending on the styles you like, I know people who have had great experiences with:

Picture the Love Photography (they're pictures were amazing, but kinda expensive)

Harrington Photography (much cheaper)

Curtis Wallis (My friend LOVED him and has some flexible packages)

Look at a wide variety of photographers and look for styles that you like and determine things that are important. When my best friend and I were looking at photographers for her wedding, we found several whose pictures just weren't "her," like a lot of their portraits were taken doing weird serious poses or tons of poses in strange places. She really likes more artistic styes, while I am looking towards more straight forward, classic styles. Decide if you like photographers that go through and do a lot of editing (filters in photoshop, lighting adjustments) or I've seen some that take overly saturated photos- a style that's popular right now, but not what I want. As I'm looking, I don't need/want as much emphasis on the small details and more on the people, nor do I care as much about pictures of me getting ready.

It's hard to make a suggestion without knowing your target price range. They can go from anywhere around $1K all the way up to $4K or more.

We decided to stay on the lower end of the range and are using Lindsey Scholz Photography. She is a sweetheart and does beautiful work.

OP, when you interview a photographer, you should ask to see a complete wedding. That may give you a better idea of their style and abilities rather than just looking through a portfolio of their best shots.

We're using Azar Photography.

I looked at wether or not I could get along iwth the person (after pricing and quality and stuff) Its the one vendor (outside of a coordinator) you have ALL DAY! Make sure you can get along with them and your comftorable around him.

We went with Momments into Memories Photography and let me tell you are pictures are AMAZING! we get 70 for our story book and we have passed through our pictures about 10 times and We still have 316 on the list!

He's also a really nice guy and help in many other small ways!

we're using Jessica Love Photography. When we met, she brought with her a full DVD of an entire wedding - so we could see EVERYTHING (we took it home, viewed it there. there were like 1000 pictures!!!) She offers a single shooter and two shooter package, then hourly rates. Hope this helps!
