Photographers in North Jersey?

Hi Ladies! I am trying to find a good photographer for our wedding that also includes an engagement session in their package. I like more of a photojournalistic look, with a lot "in the moment" pictures rather than posey ones. Any recommendations on who to use??
Thanks!

    Budget?  There is a great variation in range I would say on average from about 3000-5000 with some other photgraphers being about 7-10.

    I second Milton Gil.  We met with them but wound up going with someone else and I wish I would have stuck with them.

    We are using American Photography. Peter is great and fun to work with. We just did our engagement pics this weekend actually. He was BY FAR the most reasonably priced. A friend of a friend used them and recommended them, that's how we found out about him. The engagement pic is included in the package as well as some other things, but again his prices are great and he works with you. Our biggest issue was most photographers want 2k+ to just take the pics and nothing included in that other than your proofs. American photographer has his packages where the albums and such are included.

    Let me know if you want more info, I can send you his stuff.

    Thanks!

    All of these below are wedding photojournalists.  I went with Zlatko but I'm spending at least $6K.  Shelley and Keith are more like $3-4K. Scott in between.  All three require installment type payments leading up to and after the wedding.  A photographer that requires to be paid entirely up front (before you have the album) is not my thing.

    Zlatko Bastistich in Creskill (expensive)

    Scott Photography in Elmwood Park (less expensive)

    Shelley and Keith in Bloomfield (least expensive of these three)

    I am in the same boat looking for photographers - i want a photojournalistic look as well.  I looked at John Arcara and Milton Gil - both are awesome, but a littel $$ cmpared to some others.  we're going with John Arcara - he's so awesome and totally different than any other photographers' pic's i've seen out there.  he has a discounted fee for E sessions if you book thru him for your wedding day. he's worth the money!
