Alright, ladies..... guy needs your help! (Photographer question)

hess.jared · April 2010

The stress of wedding planning is starting to take its toll on my lovely Fiancée and finding a photographer seems to be causing the most stress. I want to help her out, but I honestly have no idea where to even start. A friend of mine suggested that I come here because that is how she found her photographer.

We're getting married in Orlando in November and we are on a fairly tight budget. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all of your help!

Hey welcome!

If you are on a tight budget, i think you should look into Jessica Leigh. A lot of girls have used her and said she did great work. Hope this helps!

You'll probably get more relevant recommendations if you can be more specific about what kind of budget you are looking at. Otherwise, a good resource would be the CFL Knottie Bio that Jessica put together. I think there's a variety of suggestions there. GL

It's really sweet of you to help your fiancee out

The two photographers I used were Misty Miotto for my wedding and engagement pictures and Casie at Rebel Belle Photography for my Trash the Dress pictures. Both were awesome, although since Misty's prices have gone up she might be considered a bit of a splurge on a tight budget. I'm not sure what Casie charges for a wedding since we didn't book her for longer than an hour.

Their websites are www.mistymiotto.com and www.rebelbellephotography.com

welcome!

i agree with pp, can you give us an idea of your budget?

hess.jared · April 2010

Probably around $2,000 for photography (give or take)

mlharbis · April 2010

I am using photography by marlyn- she is amazing!!!! and for $2000 you will be able to get a really nice package with a nice album and parents albums.
Jessica Leigh is also great too.

I am using Sandra Johnson Photography. It is a husband and wife team. They have different packages depending on the hours of coverage you want. http://www.sjfoto.com/

I would also agree with a couple of the previous posts about Jessica Leigh. Her prices are listed on her site.

Im using Kelly Embry Photography from Atlanta for my wedding in Orlando next year. She gave us a good deal and isnt charging us any travel costs.

I really love her work and cant wait to do my engagement shoot with her!!

Good luck with your hunt!

I have to plug my fiance.. Sam Dickinson. www.smdweddings.com If you're looking at a $2000 budget he is extremely affordable. I'm a little biased, but I think he's great. I'd book him if he wasn't busy on my date..

Good luck!!!!

Maggie214624 · April 2010

We are using Jessica Leigh as well and she is great! Good luck!

SarahSmile23 · April 2010

Thank you all so much for all of your help! All of this information is incredibly helpful and you are going to make my soon-to-be bride a very happy woman (and get me major brownie points!!)

Thanks again!

I'm a little late to this list, but just in case ... my photographer is Lori Barbely and for 8 hours of coverage plus the rights to all the images (extremely important) she came out to $2140, including tax. You can find her here: http://www.loribarbelyphotography.com/

I loved my engagement photographer so much that I just searched for other people looking for a photographer so I could leave my very FIRST Knot wall post to recommend them.

They are a cute, young, energetic couple who are getting married soon, so they know the stress and budget restraints - since they are newer to the industry and still making a name for themselves, I promise they will work with you so you get the photos you deserve without draining your budget. Hurry up and get them before they realize how much they COULD start charging people - lol.

Tell them you a friend of Katrina's, also. That might help.
