Hellpp!! Looking for a nontraditional, fun, wedding photographer!!!

codelaur

Anyone have any suggestions on a wedding photographer??  I've been looking at sites but they all seem so expensive!!  I would, however, rather spend money than go with cheap looking pictures.  If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know!!!

Also, has anyone used or heard of anything on Dana Monticelli photography??  Her prices are very reasonable which is making me question why.

 I third this! ABSOLUTE BEST PRICES!! $1,200 dollars for FUll unlimited coverage on your wedding day with two Photographers, and E-sesseion which is also full day, unlimited locations, plus 40 digital pics from your E-session, and 200 digital pics from your wedding, with all rights!! <div>
</div><div>I just met with them Friday, Jimmy brought a slide show of a full wedding, and pointed out that they are very candid. They like barely ever have you pose, but at the same time he was very creative when coming up with ideas for our E-session. </div>

Check out Tiffany http://tjzcreations.com/Weddings.html - she's young, well planned, prices are incredibily reasonable, great personality, and she's very creative! Her work is also very good! I at least recommend calling and speaking with her.

Thanks everyone!!  Have any of you happened to have heard anything about "A crystal clear sound video and photo"?  They have awesome packages and I'm finding their prices too good to be true but it seems like they do good work.

Lauren Zurchin Studios!

The first pic under "Lifestyles" is one of our e-pics, and another e-pic (black & white photo, couple kissing) is under "Portraits".

Here are a couple wedding photos. She's lots of fun, young, and really caters to your interests and personalities. And her prices are awesome!










And my siggy and avatar pics are both hers too! Give her a call, she's awesome!

I have to chime in.  I was searching this board looking for info for an anniversary party and happened upon this post.  I used ACCSVP and LOVED them!  The owner/manager held my hand all day and did everything to make sure I was happy.  There prices WERE awesome (not sure what they are now), but my take is that they work out of their house to keep their overhead low.
You won't be sorry.  Everyone I worked with there was professional and genuine.
My only advice is hurry.  They DO have several people who work for them as photographers, video people, and djs, but you really want to get the owner to do your photo.  Telll her I sent you---I promised I'd reffer her to everyone after the day was over.

Thanks so much for the response!!  I am almost positive I want to book them I was just afraid bc their prices were SO good and didn't want to get crappy pictures, een though they looked awesome on their website.  I just talked to Kathie and she is available my day and I'm meeting up with her at the bridal show this weekend..I'm soo excited!!  It seems that everyone who has worked with them is extremely happy so I'm gonna go for it!!  Thanks so much for your input..it helps alot!! :-)

I 100% agree with those recommending Limelight Images. I met with Jimmy and booked for my May 2012 wedding right away! Their prices are incredibly reasonable, include an engagement shoot, and include two photographers. When I met for the consult Jimmy showed me a whole wedding from beginnning to end.  I'm not exaggerating when I say all the pictures were gorgeous! I would contact them for a meeting ASAP if you are interested...they seem to get booked up quickly, and for good reason.  Good luck with finding a photographer!
