I feel like I could talk about and research this forever, but I would really appreciate any feedback or thoughts you have on these photographers. We've met with them all and I am having SUCH a hard time deciding.

Photography is really important to me for my wedding, and while I can find things online, I would really like any and all reviews. Lot's o decisions!  If it's more appropriate to PM me these- please do. Thank you all in advance!

    We are using Steve Blazo! He has a photojournalistic style which we liked. We just got done with our E-pic shoot last week, so I haven't seen any pictures yet- but am looking forward to it! He seems to be a nice guy who loves what he does. I know he's shot previously for a lot of magazine.

    RAW's work is AMAZING! If it was in the budget and if they were open for our date we probably would've gone with them... I hope to use them for boudoir pics as a grooms present. Eric Foley was in second place to the photographer we ended up going with (Rebecca Hansen Photography) Good luck with your decision. This was most important vendor besides venue for us.

    It sounds like you have a great "top 3."  Did you feel more comfortable with one over another?  I know this sounds corny, but photography was one of those things where I kept interviewing people until I felt like we clicked.

    I definitely know what you mean!  I think thats why we just keep interviewing people LOL! I have liked all of the ones we interviewed with but we keep going because FI hates to have his picture taken so I told him I want him to feel really comfortable with the photog we pick. It's funny though because each time we go- they all say "Well, I would be with the bride, and my second shooter (or wife, etc) will be with the groom", so he hasn't even met anyone who'd be with him for the beginning of the day hahah.

    I have my opinons about these and FI has his and one of them is just a ridiculously great price which sold me over, but not FI lol SOOO we're trying to find out as much info as we can. Thanks!

    Can someone give me a ball park price for RAW? I've been looking at their site. But I'd like to have an idea of how expensive they are. Thanks!

    If my memory serves me correctly, when we talked to them at a bridal show they said their most popular package was $5500 (without album) and I think $6500(with album) not don't 100% quote me on that

    If you like RAW have you checked on Catherine Fiehn?? Their styles are extremely similar IMO.  Her website is http://www.catherinefiehn.com

    Raw quoted me as $4200 as their lowest package which includes e-session and all day coverage plus print credit among other things, not sure what their going rate is for 2011
