I am looking for a good photographer in Florida (Tampa area). The one I was planning on using can't book me at the moment, but she had an amazing deal. I am looking for someone who will do atleast 5 hours of pictures, CD of photos, online viewing/purchasing, and an album with many pictures for around $1000. Any ideas?

    I'm also looking for a photographer, but I haven't found anyone, that's any good, offering all of those things for $1000. I pushed my budget up to $1800ish after doing the rounds on the web. I'm still looking for that perfect fit, but it's gotten a bit easier at my new budget number. You might consider pushing it up a bit. :)

    I used Stephanie A Smith for my wedding, I know she offers lower priced packages for less time. From what I can remember I think you can get 4 hours for a little over $800 (this was back in Oct so I don't know if her rates have changed.) So you can either get less time coverage or as the pp suggested up your budget a bit. 
    I loved working with Stephanie, she is probably the most positive person I've ever met in my life. 

    Here's her website if you want to contact her for pricing:

    Albums will cost you more, but I know a lot of brides make their own albums from the photos for much cheaper using shutterfly or other similar website.

    I dont think tht our photographers are the right price for you but I will recommend them anyways cause they were GREAT!!!  We had a total of 4 at the wedding which were from 2 different companies.  1 being Simon and Becca with Shakespeare Photography and 2 being Alicia and Lantanya with Pure Emotions.

    HTH!!!!

    Jason Angelini can work with you for the Hours you want and he does an awesome job, form the weddings I've seen.

    Also, You should be able to negotiate will all of your vendors so if there is one you LOVE but prices are to high, ask if you can take some things out of the package or if you can do fewer hours for less.

    I am using Wes Weber for our wedding.  We just had our engagement session and can't wait to see the pics.  I picked him because he is budget friendly, love his photojournalistic style, and he and his wife are a team.   Check out his website if you're interested: www.wesweberphotography.com

    Good luck!
