Hi everyone! I am new on the boards even though I have been using other sections of the knot for a while to plan my wedding. In just a few short months I will be happily married to the man of my dreams, my best friend! Everything has gone wonderful until tonight when we got an email from our photographer who cancelled. They said they double booked the date and just realized it and had to give it to the first bride even though we booked them over a year ago. They are one of the best photographers around and we will be getting our deposit back but right now we are so frustrated and think it is not even worth fighting to keep our date with them as we no longer want to work with someone who is that disorganized and can so easily toss us aside. So it looks like we are back to the drawing board. Our budget is between $4000 and about $6500 for photography. We would really love some recommendations, as many as possible, because I know with just a few months we night not have a lot of options!
We are not looking for the kind of photogrpaher who puts a bride across a couch where she is smiling at the camera or who lines up bridesmaids in cliche downtown locations. We are looking for someone very unique and are willing to pay the right price since we are only going to do this once. Who are you all using or maybe a better question would be who is your dream photographer(s)? I am sorry this message is so long and thank you for reading and all your help.
