Need an Inexpensive Wedding Photographer!

Any suggestions for a really good but inexpensive wedding photographer for the Dallas area?  I was hoping to spend $1,500 to $2,000.

Thanks!

    My photographer that I just booked is $170 an hour... http://www.stephaniebrazzleblog.com/ (Tell her Wendi referred you)

    My MOH is using Evan Godwin, who I was going to use too but Stephanie and I clicked. I think his 6-hour pkg is $750 and he has gorgeous pics http://www.evangodwinphotography.com/

    Also, check out the Vendor Sticky at the top, it doesn't have prices but it at least has names to Google :)

    I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

    My photographer is Union Valley Photography...there are engagement photos in my bio that were taken by their company :)

    They charge $100 an hour with a four hour minimum...so you could do 4 hours with raw photos for about $400 bucks! Of course if you want editing and printing the price goes up...but probably still way under your budget

    I am using Krauzian Image based out of the Dallas Area. He took our engagement photos (which I love) and we are also using him for our wedding. His price is $1,995 for UNLIMITED hours and photos. He edits ALL of the photos too. This price also includes engagement photos. He puts all of your pictures up on his website under a password and he also mails the digital negatives on a cd so you can print what ever photos you want.

    He also gives military and non-saturday wedding discounts. His work is amazing and he is a very nice guy to work with! Very flexible...I highly recommend him!! http://krauzianimage.com/

    My favorite photographer in that price range is McGowan Images.

    My photographer is Mcgowan images she is at the very top of the your price range to start but I promise it is worth every penny.  While her package thats in her budget doesnt include an album you get all the digital negatives to with as you choose so you can order your own album online for much cheaper.  I just did my engagements with them on monday and the pic in my sig is a teaser from that (the rest will go up on her blog tomorrow).  Go check out the blog at www.mcgowanimages.com if you like the pics then its definately worth the time to meet with them.

    I used McGowan and Bobbieleigh and Stephie are right, they are amazing.   We could not have made a better choice for our wedding photos.

    Actually yeah, for 2011 $2k is where they start now.  Still worth it though!
