Photographer for under $1,000???

I know this might be a long shot... But does anyone have any photographers they would recommend for under $1,000?  I would LOVE to have someone who doesn't limit their hours... I've been seeing so much of "5-6 hours for $2,900" etc, which is CRAZY to me... We're on a really tight budget, so I'd like to keep the photographer under $1,000 in general, but would REALLY love it if they didn't limit their hours with us.  We have 3 hours between the end of our ceremony until the beginning of our reception and I would hate to have them ONLY for the first hour or two of our reception...

Our ceremony is on Mount Washington and our reception is in Oakmont, north of the city.

Thanks in advance!!! <3

  • Michelle from Michelle Fulton Photography doesn't limit the hours and she is awesome, although her lowest package starts at $2300 I think, so I'm not sure how much help I am! When I asked her about the hours she said that there are only so many pics you can get of people dancing but she doesn't limit the hours and always checks with the bride and groom before calling it a night. Although we didn't pick her for our wedding, she seemed really great and takes beautiful pictures. Good luck!!

  • Theresa Glenn, also doesn't limit her time either and her package is 2300 as well. Plus you get e-pic session, unlimted hours both wedding and e-pics, all rights to both sets of pictures, plus 3 albums and tons of prints! Check her out! I know photography seems crazy expensive but after talking with a photography why they charge so much you will understand. Best of luck!

  • http://www.andriajones.com/index2.php I know Andria personally. She really goes above and beyond to make you happy. Not sure of her exact prices for a wedding but I think it'll be pretty close to what you are looking for. HTH!
  • Our photographer is not under $1,000, but you get her all day, engagement session and full rights to pictures - her prices are reasonable and her quality of work is amazing.  She is GREAT to work with (we just did engagement photos today.) She is super creative as well.

  • Thank you!!! So many great options!! It's been so hard to find much using just google, and most places listed on the Knot for under $1,000 (which is... not many) aren't thrilling me... 

    Still welcoming any more suggestions!

    Thanks again! <3
  • Check out http://www.lavenderleighphotography.com/.  Leigh is my friend but she also took our newborn photos and we absolutely love them.  Her packages start at $1500 so she might be a good fit for you.

  • Caroline Moore's been great to work with so far. Her pricing is a little higher than your budget, but you can check it out here:
