    We are using Sivan Photography! We met with her a few weeks ago and she was really personable. They are well within your budget...you should definitely check them out. I've seen good reviews about them too. There are reviews on this board that I have seen..I think you can just search their name and it'll come up. Oh and like Bumbblebe said, they are also 2 photographers. VERY important in my opinion! :)www.SivanPhotographyWeddings.com. Good luck!!!

    We went with Sivan for our wedding and just got our pictures back.  She did a fantastic job and I am still getting compliments about her from my family and friends because she was so nice to everyone.  She is well within your budget and we had 2 photographers (including her) at our wedding.  She was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding!!  Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help you out!!

    Mandy Blair Photography. I believe she can have a back up shooter too, not sure on that. She is great!! We used her for engagement sessions and LOVED them. We are using her for a trash the dress photo session too.

    My photographer was Chris Gillyard - he is a great mix of photojournalistic and traditional styles- I believe he's in your price range. His personality is one of his key selling points (awesome energy and enthusiasm), although his photos speak for themselves.

    We love him so much he's basically become our "family photographer" and has shot belly shots of my sister as well as birthdays and other important events.
    GL! :)

    We are using Chris Gillyard as well.  When we did our E-pics in Feb he said he has really raised his prices lately and I *believe* (but don't quote me just in case..) he said he no longer offers anything under $2500.  We were lucky, we got him for half that price for 8 hours of coverage and an e-session!!!
