We are in the process of selecting our photographer.  Just thought we'd get some help from the knot.  Please share any suggestions, experiences, etc.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you! Cool

    Hey, just thought I'd direct you to an amazing and reasonable photographer in OC. I have had a few friends use him for wedding as well as family shoots and ALL have been extremely happy! Very honest, personable, and professional guy!

    Here is his link:

    we are using Shoot Me Photography in Tustin. Brooke has been extremely helpful so far and we love their work. Our wedding isn't until August, so I dont have a review yet

    We loved our photos from Chris and Erinn Austin of White Haute Photography. They were so great to work with, my maid of honor just hired them for her own wedding this summer.

    We are using Shoot Me in Tustin also.  They've met with us several times and I feel like they have gotten to know our personalities and learn our photograph priorities, which for me was pretty important.  Brooke is extremely organized professional.  I was drawn to their non-traditional portraits and creative use of environment.  I want a picture of our bridal party, but I don't want it to look like my grandparents' photos of everyone in a line and these ladies' portfolio showed me they could accomplish the task.

    Our wedding is in March, so I can't post examples or a full review.  We have our 
    pre-wedding/engagement session next Friday.

    If you want a review after our session on Friday, let me know.

    HB-Oh my gosh! You're the reason why I got my dress. I saw your pics on Chris' blog and knew I had to try it on! What a small world.

    We used Carly Daniel for our wedding last May and she did a wonderful job.  She shoots in photojournalistic style and no one even knew she was there.  Her web site is www.carlydaniel.com.

    I'm using Katie Keller Photography.

    Katie is really professional and works quickly. We had the best time with her for our engagement shoot (at Disneyland, where she had to deal with ppl walking all over the place and had to shoot photos quickly - but they turned out beautifully!!).

    Bottom line: She is professional AND affordable. Love her!

    Hi! We are using Jim Kennedy Photographers out of HB. They are AMAZING. He has shot a few friends' weddings, and I was in a wedding that he shot last year, so I was able to see his work before we selected him. Here's a link to our engagement video: http://www.jimkennedyphotographers.com/movie/konrad/
    Enjoy, and Congrats!!

    I have to reccomend Beth from Nariko's Nest. I know she's from San Diego but she does travel and she's worth it. I booked her because she shot one of my friends weddings and they got married in OC. We just got our engagement photos back and loved them! Maybe I am a little over excited...good luck anyway.
