Photographer Recommendations?

HI,Can anyone recommend any good photographers in the OC. And if possible, do you have any pics of their work? I have done online searches, but I'd rather hear from real people with real experiences.Thanks!

    My friend just got her photos back and I thought they were really nice...you can see the blog http://kchephoto.wordpress.com/. The photographers name is Kristine Che--the first phots on the blog are mostly babies..but my friend is further down for weddings. I think I may end up using her as my photgrapher after seeing the pics

    Hey there... I've been doing alot of seraching too,... and I almost booked this photographer ...that was over-priced for what he offered, I ended actually booking this really awesome photographer who was referred to my by my co-worker...her name is WAI REYES and her site is www.waiphoto.com check it out  or google : Wai Reyes Photography... she does amazing work, and has a background with design, very editorial, sylish, yet romantic, and she has such a great personality, she's basedo ur in Orange .... for your engagment session, she offers different settings that best suits the couple, from the beach, to a whimsical forrest like theme ... to an urban artsy theme.... and offers to even customize a package that fits you and your budget ... we are actually having our engagement session in just a matter of weeks,...if you do book her .. please let her know Michelle and Baldomero referred you ... well good luck ... if you decide to go with someone else... congratz !!!-Michelle from Newport

    We used Jim Kennedy at Jim Kennedy Photographers. I can't say enough about him and his staff. He tends to be on the higher priced end, but he deserves the cost. Another friend of mine who we just shot with last weekend is Jack Ratana. I'd recommend him as well. Good luck!

    Check out Natalie Williams at nataliewilliamsblog.com. We haven't gotten our wedding pictures back yet, but based on our engagement pictures, she was awesome. As far as the wedding, she was there from noon until 11pm and had the best ideas for wedding shots.

    Hi there.  I was just going to start a new post about my photographer who lives in Newport Beach, but figured I would just respond to this one.  Kristi Klemens of KLK Photography traveled to our Miami wedding and did an amazing job.I completed my wedding bio yet, but I loved working with her and love our pictures!  I highly recommend her.

    We used Camille Rich Photography and was absolutely amazed by her! My husband and I are totally not the type who were natural in front of the camera but shes totally laid back and calms you down but still gives great direction as well.  Her prices are pretty reasonable as well and a lot is included like your engagement session and all digital negs.. pics in my bio, but she was by far my favorite vendor!www.camillerich.com
