(XP) Photographer help?

Ok so this is THE most stressful part of the wedding planning so far.  I can not find a photographer I love who is on our budget, and it's driving me crazy.
I found one we loved who had an awesome price (around 3000 for 2 photographers and a videographer) but of course they weren't available for my date.. so now i'm basically looking for the same price range, and the same things included.
Im looking for a photographer who is fun and care free .. I love shots of the wedding party jumping in the air, and just being silly - as well as those romantic cute pictures as well.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks guys!

    I love my photographer- AE Stelzer Photography. I'm obsessed with my engagement pictures and Ashley has been responsive and SO helpful all along my planning. Good luck!!!

    We're using Julie at Carla Ten Eyck... very reasonable price as Julie is in her first year with the company but definitely a great group of photographers that are laid back.  We're super excited to have her as our photographer!!  I would definitely check out their website!

    We used Video Images for our videographer and Kathy McGarry for our photography. If you are looking for one vendor to do photo and video, Video Images does. I would highly recommend both of our vendors though. They did an awesome job

    We're using Matthew J. Wagner Fine Photography in Simsbury. His work is absolutely amazing and we love him! He doesn't do videography but you can customize any package you want. We chose 2 photographers for unlimited time, disc of the photos and all rights to them, engagement pics, and a leather bound album. The total came to $4000.

    Check out Visual Obsession. I"m on their blog a lot and they post pics and have tons of fun ones of parties jumping in the air and other fun shots. They have 2 shooters but I have no idea what pricing is.

    I don't know where in CT you're located but I'd suggest checking out photographers in surrounding states as well if you're near a border. Depending on the region the pricing could be more affordable and at the very least it could give you more options! Best of Luck!
