    I love my photographer - Melissa Arlena. I am doing her cheapest package - 2500 for pretty much all day, two photographers, etc. You can check out all the details on her site! She's very personable and fun. I know she will do an amazing job!

    Steve Whysall.  He has a studio in Bluemont, VA.   He will be doing our wedding in April.

    $2000 gets you 8 hours, 2 photographers and a cd of your pictures later.

    Otherwise, another guy I really liked is Paul Fleming www.pfleming.net. He is based in Gaithersburg, MD.  $1800 will get you 2 photographers, 8 hours, and a cd of your pictures.  Good Luck!

    Love my photographer.

    Hino Banzon - www.hinobanzon.com

    His full package is $2295 for two photographers, 12 hours, all rights to the photos, a CD of images, web gallery, and a few prints. 

    He's also really flexible on his payment terms. We didn't have to put a deposit down or anything; we just paid him $300 for the e-session and then the rest is due just prior to the wedding.

    We splurged on photography and saved on videography - don't have the pics or video back, but we used our photographer for engagement pics and they were great.  Both were easy to work with and I'm sure they did a great job.

    ***paid $3125 for 8 hours, e-session, all pictures and rights to reprint, one album for us and two parent albums

    Videographer - Dean Dykema

    ***paid $700 for 5 hours and very basic edited video.  He has other more expensive packages but we decided to save in this area and go for the less expensive option.

    I've used Jim for annual family portraits since I married the first time, back in 1992.  He will be the photographer for my upcoming 2011 wedding.  We've already done our e-pics and they are fantastic!  I highly recommend him.

    Best of luck!

    we used Carmen Wang Photography for $1500 for 6 hours, a little pricy!  But the photos worth every single PENNY! 

    I would recommend that you get an engagement session before deciding on your wedding photographers!  This way you will know whehter you like their working style or photos.
