    We used Scott Metzger for our wedding, and his packages start at $2500 for Saturdays during peak season (May 1 - Nov 1).  If you're having a non-Saturday wedding and/or getting married in off-peak time, he offers 15% discounts.  You should definitely check him out.  Here's his website, and you can see the slideshow he made for us (link in siggy) or the proof of our album (under Vendor Reviews).

    My MOH's sister is in the New England School of Photography and is shooting our wedding.  You can request information from students at the school and they are much cheaper than most photographers (and very good!).  You can use this link to find a photographer from the school:

    Good luck!

    Not sure his exact price, but we are hiring Erik Patton. He is working out a deal to do our wedding in exchange for design work from my sis! He is just starting out, so he needs more wedding work.

    Super nice guy! Great work too. We are on his engagement/couples section on his site.

    We ultimatley chose Kevin Jacobus and were extremely happy with that decision.  www.kevinjacobusphoto.com

    We also looked at:
    Scott Metzger
    Keith Berry
    M2 Studios
    Kennaley Photography
    Dan Nystedt
    Dorie Lynn
    They were all very impressive, we just clicked best with Kevin.

    The other photographer I would have loved to have met with, but didn't have our date available, was Agnieska of A Brilliant Photo.  Her work is awesome.

    We are using Scott Zuehlke and paying just under $3,000.  That doesn't include an album though.  I love his work!

    I'm thinking of using Mark Detoma at Real Life Arts. His prices are great, his work is amazing and he has been very responsive so far. I think it's looking like about $2k to $2,500.

    I'm using Jim Abrams in Franklin. He charges 2,100 and you have him for as long as you want! Engagement shoot is included in the package among other things. He is a very nice guy.

    Definitely Berryphotos!  He did our wedding and is doing by bf's in a few months.  They're great to work with and very quick in everything from getting the pictures done to even getting the album done.  They couldn't have been nicer or easier to work with and our pictures are gorgeous.

    Heather Parker has lower off-season prices but she is one of the more boutique photographers so her prices are much higher for the summer.
