Help! I need a great Miami Photographer

Heathirdd · September 2010

Hi Gals,

I'm trying to plan my Miami wedding all the way from the Philippines where my fiance & I were just transfered...and I'm having a hard time getting local recommendations etc and especially as we are 12 hours ahead, so I'm not awake during usual office hours to call around etc.

Can you recommend a Photographer that will shoot in Miami in November of next year, preferably in a photojournalistic style?

I LOVE Maloman but think he's going to be out of my budget...anyone have someone they loved?

Please email me too if you'd prefer!

Thanks ladies!!!

Heather

I'm using Ivan Apfel. You can see our engagement photos on his blog.

1st session:: http://apfelphoto.com/?p=779

2nd session:: http://apfelphoto.com/?p=1193

He's very good at keeping contact through emails, texts and facebook.

Here's his site:: http://www.apfelphotography.com/

I'm with Gregory Paul but he's in the same price range as Maloman, and of course they're both amazing.

Other photographers I've heard of are Ashley Couhler, Crystal Fielding, Joseph Casal.

like Jen, I'm using Gregory Paul too.

Sara Kauss might be a good option... she's so sweet and very talented

I love my photographer, Lara Rios. She is a newer wedding photographer, but she is definitely one to look out for. You can check her site here: http://www.larariosblog.com/

I haven't shot my engagement pictures with her yet, because we are waiting for better weather. But she just did one that is on her blog.

i'm using InFocus Studios - I absolutely love Manolo Doreste, his work and his team -
www.putyoursmileon.com
but I think he's in the Maloman range also. not sure what the Maloman range is....

I also recommend (from the 10+ photographers I interviewed):

Studio by Carmen
Hazel Photography (www.hazelr.com)
Marlyne Alexander
UDS (Unique Design Studio)
Roy Llera

They are all on facebook so just search for them there. or just google them.

Hi Heather, welcome!

I love my photographer Alicja Colon of Taken Photography, she is based in Miami and is so very sweet. www.miamitaken.com

I fell in love with her photos of another bride when the bride posted them on another wedding website, I felt the joy of the day from looking at the photos and really wanted Alicja to be there for my day.

Angel, Lara Rios' work is great...can't wait to see your e-pics!!

Ladies! THANK YOU for taking the time to post these suggestions!! I can't tell you how frustrating it is to google search my days away with a slow internet connection (it takes SO long to download photos on most photographer's sites!)

Really really appreciate this!
