Monday's Special Post: Photographers ranging from 1k-3k

Mademoiselle D

As promised, this list contains some photographers in South Florida whose prices start within the range of 1k-3k! My best advice to those brides who are shopping around for photographers is to explore all your options, meet up and interview photographers, and decide which vendors provides you with what you want in the price you are comfortable investing and have the best chemistry with. Staying within budget is very important but so is "clicking" with your photographer. I hope this list helps those who are looking for a photographer!

Wishing all the best during your searches!

Special Note: I have contacted a few of the vendors below when FI and I were shopping for a photographer and the others I never got around to contact them. If you are interested in any of these photographers below then contact them to get a run down of what they offer. Some will offer an engagement session and others consider it as an "add-on" to any of their packages. Most photographers are with you for a certain amount of hours and may charge extra for additional hours and others offer all-day wedding coverage. Another thing to ask is about any travel fees associated to your wedding if you book them. Lastly, if editing your images is important to you (it was for us!) then def ask any potential photographer about this. Some will only do minor editing, some will editing to a certain set of pictures, and few will do editing to all images which sometimes makes the packages even more expensive.

By the Hour
- Leia Elizabeth Photography: Charges $250.00 an hour for wedding packages and require a minimum of 2 hours.

- Amber Sycz Photography: Charges $250.00 per each hour you want wedding coverage.

- Krystal Zaskey Photography: Starts at $250.00 per hour for wedding coverage.

Couple's Session/Informal Daytime Weddings/Post-Wedding sessions:
- If you are looking for an affordable couple's or post-wedding session then check out Browntography. These sessions are $250 - $300 max. If you are having an informal, daytime wedding then ask for pricing since this photographer only takes very few weddins (I know since I've asked).
