Just wondering who you ladies picked for photographers? I'm kicking around a few ideas at this point and just wanted some opinions on who people have/are worked/working with.
I'm trying to stay in a reasonable price point, any suggestions on how to bargain down on the price? Meaning, cut part of the package out-maybe less prints or no professional album.
I'm willing to pay about $3000, but that is max. I'd like to get it cheaper, but I don't want to decrease quality.

We used Soheil Photography at Cherry Blossom Banquet Hall in Sterling. He is really great and will include an engagement shoot in your package. Definitely give him a call. http://www.soheilphotography.com; 410-808-3586

Our photographer is coming in from out-of-state (she's a friend of mine), so I don't have any specific suggestions for photographers.

However, I definitely think you should try to find someone who offers tiered packages, and see if you can mix and match to get what you want at a price you can afford. Maybe go for fewer hours of coverage, fewer prints, or fewer album pages. Or, if you can find someone who will give you a CD and digital rights to your photos, then you can make your own albums on a photoshare website (my sister did some awesome ones on Kodak), or maybe wait and order an album later when you can afford it (like an anniversary gift).

I would imagine you should be able to find a pretty good package for $3000. That's what we're paying my friend -- it's actually her normal rate, and includes her travel from Washington state.

Also, my venue (King Family Vineyards) has a "links" section of their webpage with a bunch of their recommended vendors. They list about 10-12 photographers and link to their pages. They have lots of other vendors too, might be worth checking out if you still need to find vendors!

Hey thanks for the heads up. I've been using the KFV vendors link for some info. Kind of annoying that their links don't work!!!
There is one photographer that I really like, his package was at the $3000 mark, which I thought was fair. I'm just getting worried about the bottom line.
I guess we're both using KFV for the reception site. Have you thought of table layout yet? I was considering all rounds except for a long table for the wedding party and families. I saw a picture of this done in a photographers portfolio and liked how it looked.
Avion, are you booking a limo service for shuttle? We booked our rooms at the Holiday Inn off of 5th St. Which is a pretty straight shot from 64.
Thanks

I'm using Elisa Bricker, but it sounds like she might be a little over your budget. Honestly, this town has so many fantastic photographers and there are plenty in Lynchburg and Harrisonburg who are willing to come here.

I would not just go off the vendor lists on the venue websites. That's a wonderful group, but there are many more to consider if you're budget is limited.
