Narrowed it down to 2 photographers! Help!

I am on the hunt for a new photographer as the one we initially picked out was going to cost more than we had planned.

We have narrowed it down to Max Aureli and Eric Brushett. Has anyone used either of them and has had a great experience? Is anyone willing to share a few pics if they have used them?

Greatly appreciated!

    Max Aureli bride here! FI and I are taking engagement pictures next month, so I don't have any pics to share yet. However, Max has been great to work with so far, and his prices can't be beat, and I love the photos on his site.

    I really liked Eric, and while his starting prices were good, all the extras I wanted would have run the price up considerably. If you want the minimum, than he's a good choice for that price point. I'm getting unlimitied hours, e-session, second shooter, and full rights to photos for 1700 with tax. Just something to consider.

    Good Luck!

    Eric Brushett bride here!!! We took our e-pics in June and I love them, we started out at the gouveia and then took some awesome night shots downtown wallingford!!!!!We just clicked. He makes you feel so comfortable, budget friendly as well. We can't wait to work with him for our wedding.

    Eric Brushett bride here too!! He was recommended on this board and I met with him and instantly knew he was going to be fabulous!! I told him I wanted to do my e-shoot at Silver Sands Beach in Milford and he even suggested we spend more time down there and go and so more pictures in the town as well.. I have heard great things about Max as well so I don't think you will be disappointed either way. Have you met with both/either? If not, I would suggest doing that and then deciding on which one you "click" better with.

    <div>No, we have not met with them yet. We are hoping to meet both of them sometime this weekend. My FI & I love both of their work pretty equally, so I am sure we will be in great hands either way! I just wanted to hear some feedback from others first. :) </div><div>
    </div><div>I guess it will come down to who we click better with!</div>

    <div>Wow! The $1700 includes tax? That's awesome! I spoke with him on the phone yesterday and he has a really heavy accent. Did you find that to be a problem when you have dealt with him so far?</div><div>
    </div><div>He seems super sweet!</div>

    Yup tax included, it was roughly 1600 without. I don't have a big problem with the accent, I have alot of "right off the boat" Italian family, so I'm kind of used to it. He has a great sense of humor, I really recommend him. Eric is a great choice too, if we didn't go with Max we probably would have gone with him, but for everything we wanted and the price, it was the best choice for us. Keep in mind max's prices might differ in the summer. I don't know when your wedding is, ours is in March, so we may have gotten those prices because we are sort of "off season". Best of luck deciding!
