My friend is engaged and (against my better judgement) doesn't want to pay hardly anything for photography.Has anyone come across someone insanely cheap?

    No, but maybe she should try posting on the IUPUI classifieds to see if she can find someone.  Good luck to her.

    Check out the Indy craigslist under events at the bottom. There are some really cheap photographers there. GL

    Mine isn't super cheap but for the quality of work it's a steal!  $1800 for 6 hours and rights to the pictures on DVD.  www.studiorebekah.com

    When is she getting married?  My uncle is a photographer-- not trying to solicit him but his pics are really good and he is very reasonable!

    A former coworker of mine is a great photog, I heard she's cheap too. It's an on-the-side thing for her. Her name is Rachel Nelson and her site is:http://rmattheaphoto.com/I think she'd be willing to work on price. REALLY nice, REALLY creative, talented girl (she did pics of my pugs)

    Unlimited photography with an assistant and I think 5-10 professional proofs $1995. I'm sure she could negotiate if she didn't want the proofs (but they are niiiice).  apostrophe studios

    We used Scott Cleveland. He has a package going right now of up to 8 hours for $1200 including a disc of all the photos with printing rights. We used him in June, ended up with 465 shots and were really happy with the quality and professionalism. Http://scottcphotography.com

    My photographer is Stephani with Stephani lynn photography. We got our engagements, and she is doing our entire wedding for about $1000, Cd of proofs with release. She is also willing to do more for more money, and probably a certain amount of cost for travel. She is out of Fort Wayne www.stephanilynnphotography.com or you can look her up on facebook and myspace. AMAZING work, very artistic. kjpugs- I went to school with the girl you are talking about. She used to be practically my neighbor when i was a kid. small world.

    We are using WestWorks Photography from Fort Wayne.  I met the owners at a bridal show this past winter.  Their packages are very affordable.  They have raised their prices since I booked them, but they are still affordable.  I believe their packages are $750, $950, and $1400.  These prices depend on the amount of hours and the amount of photographs taken.  Since I booked the day of the show, I got my engagement photos thrown in for free.I also know that Fey Photography is affordable, she is also from Fort Wayne.  She starts at $1500 and that includes engagement photos.Eighth Day Photography from Fort Wayne has AMAZING work starting at $1500, but prices get steep once you add in albums, engagement session, bridal, trash the dress, etc.I know all my suggestions are from Fort Wayne, but many photographers do travel, and it especially helps if they are in the same state. HTH!

    Rachael Niehaus is really good too and is willing to work with your budget. At the time, her packages started at either $500 or $600 but that was earlier this year. She also didn't have a specific set of hours and will give you the release to your photos. Her site is www.rachtakespics.com
