Hi Ladies, any videographer and photographer recommondations?

I am looking to keep the photographer under $3k and want a photojournalistic approach. 
I am really in love with Thoams Ward, his style is beautiful but its a bit over $3k and not sure if I am willing to pay that.

I would like to keep the videographer as low as possible.

Thank you so much!

    I am using Laren from LC Photography (www.thelcphotography.com) She starts out at $850
    I orginally booked Advent Imaging (but since I know Lauren she gave me a deal) They are a husband and wife team with photojournalism background and if you are working with a bigger Budget than I am - (http://www.adventimaging.com/) they have 2 packages that include Engagment and Photo Albums and both of them taking pictures $1,750 I think for 6 hrs and $2,295 for 8 hrs I think.

    Our Videography is based out of St. Cloud as well as is $1,050 from getting ready to 2 hrs into the reception. Also for 2 ppl They have a higher package for $1450 which includes a longer video,more angles and the entire day.

    That will def. give you a ball park of $$ if nothing else!
    HTH!

    Jason Lorge of Capture the Moment Productions is a (very) reasonably priced videographer.  I believe he is even running a special right now of 20% off for winter/early spring weddings.  Definitely worth checking out.

    Also, we used Laura Ivanova photography and LOVED her!

    We used Callie V Photography and we loved her! She is $1800 for all day, two shooters, an engagement session, rights to all of the photos and editing services.

    I have pics in my bio of our wedding day and engagement pics with her.

    Kate Botwinski is my photographer, when I booked her prices started at $2400, not sure what pricing looks like now. Her website is katebotwinksiphotographery.com, check out her blog too, it has pictures from all her recent shoots! I LOVE her style very photojournalistic. GL! 

    No videographer here, I would LOVE one, but we have no budget for it. I hope we can find someone to take video of our ceremony...

    We are going through Eye-Spy Photo (http://www.eyespy-photo.com/), the photographer is Stephany, and she's awesome and so much fun to work with!  Our package is around 3K and we have her for 6 hours I believe.  And that included an engagement session and a couple albums.

    For a videographer, we are using Melissa from True 2 Life, she was highly recommended from this board in earlier posts, we met with her and she was nice and had some good videos.  Her prices are amazing too, we're paying $600 for the ceremony and a chunk of the reception.  Her website is http://true2lifemn.com/

    Ditto Render for photographry! She's fantastic!

    For videography, we're using Capture Studios. I know you want to keep your cost as low as possible for video, but Matt's totally worth it IMO!

    We are pretty positive we are going with Cadence Cornelius.  She has an amazing personality and her pictures are beautiful!!  My FI really wants to meet her before we book though, so that is our one hold up =)

    I am working on finding a videographer as well - looking at Jason with Capture the Moment, he seems very reasonably priced and his videos are great, and Hands on Video like Shan's.

    P.s. Shan your link on your vendor page to Hands On is mistyped - hvop instead of hovp!  Have you met with them yet?  What did you think?

    We're also using Britt of Render Photography. We love her and she's definitely in your price range.

    Videography: Brady at Highlights Videography. $500 for the whole day -- it's a great rate and I'm so surprised he's that low. http://www.highlightsvideography.com/Highlightsvideography.com/Welcome.html
