    I used Life on Prints and highly recommend them (pics in married bio).  I also love the work of Dean Thorsen and Jeremy Lawson.  Good luck!

    We used Dennis Lee Photography this past weekend. I can't wait to get our pictures. I think he mentioned that he is booked for most of the summer, but it's worth a shot!

    Studio Verite Photography!  We used  Kristy and she was ABSOLUTELY amazing.  I have yet to get all our pics back yet but the teasers are fantastic and I can't wait to see the rest.  She was awesome, even the guests loved her!  Check out their blog... Jamie and Greg (it is a couple posts down now)!

    Although I haven't done pictures with her yet (the wedding is not until July), Rachel Catherine is doing mine, and she has been great about flexibility and communication.  I met with her a couple weeks ago, and the samples she brought were really nice. Rachelcatherine.com.

    Try Rob Barcroft: www.rhbphotography.com. We loved him!  He was there early, stayed late, and was super flexible.  His pictures came out wonderful.  If you go to galleries on his website, we are #21.
