Photographers Help!

Has anyone worked with Angel Moon, Carrie Draghi or Jeff from Photo Expressions.  We are looking for a photographer that we feel comfortable with and feel that we can trust. Any opinions?  or suggestions in the Hartford area? Thanks!

    What are you looking for? A certain style? Working on a budget?
    I just signed up w/ Alison Alger of www.alisonmariephotography.com

    I also spent a lot of time talking to Jennifer Corridan of Jennifer Corridan Photography. I would have worked with her no problem, but she booked up on my date.

    We met with Carrie Draghi at a bridal expo and I thought she was great and loved her albums, but when I got her pricing I thought she was almost too a la carte.  We really wanted two photographers, unlimited photography time and printing rights to our photos and that was all extra cost on top of her rate.  The other two I don't know anything about. 
    But we did research on Carrie, HK, EC Imagery, Steve DePino, Catherine Fiehn, Tony Spinelli, Studio1923, Victoria Souza, Val McCormick, Brian Ambrose, Sebastian, J.Fiereck and Schaler.  We then met with Studio1923, HK, Val and Sebastian and ended up booking Studio1923.  I think I still have pricing on all of them if you want any info.

    Carrie Draghi is a friend of a friend actually...and she was WAY out of our price range.  Very talented but very expensive.

    We used Eileen Broderick....www.ebroderickphotography.com
    Our pkg included an engagement shoot, all day coverage on the wedding day, 2 shooters, total rights for printing along with the CD's, and online viewing.  There were a couple pkgs to choose from as well as ala carte items (DVD slideshow, albums, etc).

    We're using Sebastian Photography in MIddletown and they're very honest and trustworthy. The two main photographers are married and they work great together! We even got a free Trash the Dress Session for signing up with them that day!

    @swissarmymelody: I AGREE! Sebastian Photgraphy does amazing work. They helped us from the very begining and captured every last detail. They're pricing is competative, but they helped me to understand that it is quality that matters when choosing a photographer. They were able to truely capture the exact memories of our wedding day that we cherished most. And with such quality work, those same photographic memories will now live on with us forever, which was one of the most important deciding factors in choosing a photographer for my wedding. I was looking for a lasting impression and I got it with this husband and wife team. Here is their website, i would highly recommend them for any photographic needs. They've been in the business for a long time and they definitly know what they are doing. http://www.sebastianphoto.com
