Arizona-Phoenix

Photographers

I think my next big task is to find a photographer.  We are getting married in Sedona on 10-9-10, so I have contacted a couple local Sedona photogs, some are booked already, and some are just out of our price range.  Does anyone have any recs for less expensive photographers up there, or maybe in Phoenix who would travel?

We have an appointment Saturday with the ladies from Brides for Brides, they are in Phx but were both raised in Sedona, so we get the best of both worlds (they know the area in Sedona, but we also don't have to drive to Sedona to see them).  I also contacted Johanna at a Sophisticated View and Ivy at the Pic Chick based on recommendations, they are both in Phx, but they are both already booked. 

We are looking for the $1,000 - $2,000 range, but are somewhat flexible since we know having good pictures is important to us.

    We're using Iris Creative Photography (Amy Pileggi). Not sure how much extra she will charge you for traveling up there, but her prices are reasonable and we LOVE our engagement pics.

    I am using Drew Brashler.  I cant recommend him enough.  We have had our session and loved the pictures.  He has a website and a blog that you can view.  He has packages from $1000 to $3000 and you can customize them.  I know he will go to Sedona.  He has done trash the dress and E-sessions in Sedona recently as well.

    Good luck with your hunt!  This was one of my most difficult vendors to narrow down!

    I think that Drew is a really good value, he was booked for our wedding however.

    We are using Andy at Muse photography and been happy so far.  Should be getting back our engagement pictures any day now :)

    Drew is already booked, too bad. I loved the pics on his site.  I'll have to check out the others.

    Amanda Howard from Memories Though Time is willing to travel.  She and her husband are a photography/videography duo, so you might be able to kill two birds with one stone.

    JanJan-  Keep looking!  I think most photogs travel to Sedona.  I contacted close to 20+ vendors searching for a photographer!  I have a lot of the pricing packages (although they may be outdated) in email form.  Let me know if you want me to send some over to you!


    Celles- good Luck at your meeting with Drew.  I think that you will be impressed.  When I first booked him Starfire did not have him on their recommended Vendor list.  I was a little nervous because he was young.  However, I went with my gut and have been very impressed.  Since, I think Brooke has added him to their reccomended list and I couldn't be happier! 

    Good Luck and let me know what you decide to do!

    janjan - I just got an email from Brides for Brides about deeply discounted Sedona engagement sessions at Poco Diablo on April 24th.  I can forward it to you if you're interested (and aren't already on their list -- I have no idea how I got on it!).

    My photographer travels to Tucson for weddings, so she may travel to Sedona and she is EXTREMELY affordable.
    Her name is Ivy and her website is www.picchickonline.com

    Marissa - Unfortunately Ivy is already booked. I contacted her before and she is one of the ones that was unavailable. She looks like a great deal though!!

    Nolan Nissle Photography. He's done stuff in Sedona. Look him up on google. He's really good! We are using him for our wedding on Oct 8th so he might still be free.
