Hi Ladies..!

I've nailed down most of the big stuff except for a photographer! It is really stressing me out and giving me anxiety that I haven't booked one yet! LOL.. I am really trying to find a great photographer that won't cost more than $2K.. any recommendations? We really only want a CD w/ copying rights of all pictures.. no hard copies, albums, or anything like that..

Thanks!

    I used Judy Kay Bryan from Saluda.. She is fabulous and great to work with.
    Her complete package (e-session, bridals & wedding) is a $2500 but if you don't need all that, she changes the price... and she gives you exactly what you are wanting.. rights to print!

    We're using Blue Mountain Photoworks. They let you create your own package, so I'm sure you could easily work something out in your budget.

    Where are you located? My wedding photographer is in the Upstate and she lets you set your own price because she does it as her side part time job. Her work is phenomenal and really who lets you set your own price for pics these days?

    We are using Photography by Terry http://www.photographybyterryinc.com/ out of Summerville, SC. She has a lot of packages and does the photos on disk with rights. I like the fact she gives you the full quality photos, not the shrunken ones that make bad prints. She also has a second photographer with her for additional shots. I saw her display and met her at a Bridal Show and the booth just spoke for itself! She also let me view an album from our venue that a previous couple gave her permission to share. It was great!   Good Luck!

    Hi! 
    Not sure if you've found your photographer yet, but my fiance is based out of Charlotte and would most likely be able to work within you budget. He will absolutely not force albums/prints on you either! 
    You can look at his work here: www.miczekphoto.com
    He is really an amazing photographer with a great personality. He will not miss a moment of your wedding. You will not be disappointed if you hire him, I promise!!
    If you decide to call him, tell him his fiancee, Holly told you about him! =)

    I am using a place called Stephens Photography. I live in Greenville myself and met them at a festival recently. Super cheap the only thing is that they won't do prints they'll put everything on a CD, which really in the long run saves you money.Look them up, they have a fan page on Facebook with lots of photos. They are super friendly and down to earth. Good Luck :)
