Photographer Recommendations?

Hello -
I really need to find and book a photographer! I have spent the last couple days looking at different galleries online and I really really liked the style of Anne at The Photography Shoppe. Unfortunately, she is already booked! So now I'm not sure what to do. I keep looking but am not finding any that I am pleased with that are under $3500. :( Everything is so expensive!

    I was in a wedding this summer that was photographed by Kari Mertz Photography, and the photos are fantastic! I think her packages start at half that price, but I am not 100% sure what they are. She is out of Arlington, SD and she travels. After viewing my friends pictures, I kind of wished I had known about her when I got married.

    Here are two connections I have: 

    patrickfrankman.com  <- out of Sioux Falls but willing to travel

    angelapiersonphotography.com <- lives near Rapid City and also willing to travel.

    Their websites exhibit many great photos. Both photographers graduated from Bozeman, MT (together actually) and they are very personable and fun!

    Best of luck!!

    Photography by Nichole is doing my photos.  She takes awesome pictures.  She has a site on Facebook and would be well within your budget.  She's based out of Sioux Falls, but willing to travel.
