Photographer Recommendations?

in Ohio-Columbus
Hi. We are looking for a photographer either in the Columbus or Northeast Ohio area (wedding is in Fairlawn, we live in Columbus).  The wedding is in June and outside and the reception is inside.
Any reccomendations?? I would love to have 2 photographers, unlimited locations, and at least 8 hours. We also want the rights to our pictures. Our budget is kinda low, I'd like to stay at $2000 or lower. But, like the rings, I know the pics will last forever.
Thanks!

    www.mariewhitephotography.com. Amanda is great and reasonably priced. I loved our pictures...we just went with her cheapest package which was $1450 which includes an album and the rights to all your pics. It's all day coverage with 2 photographers. If you want to see our album proof let me know and I'll PM you the password to see it on the website. The albums she does are really awesome and creative. She was definitely my favorite vendor to work with!! Good luck with your decision!

    We are using DM Studio2 Photography. Our wedding isn't until next May but our engagement pictures turned out great! I just checked out their website for pricing, and it looks like their prices have gone up, but they are still within your budget. They also have really great communication (which was important to me because I'm planning from out of town). Check out their blog/website. Good luck!

    My photographer is Brian Jones. He is based out of my hometown but does Wedding all over the country. He is only one person but he does amazing amazing work.
    Here is his weblink the pictures speak for themselves.

    He is totally in your price range and it better then any photographer I met in Columbus. My opinion of course.

    you should search the columbus board for vendor reviews (recently married ladies) or photographer questions similar to yours. i'm certain you'll find some good recommendations.

    I second DM Studio2! Chad and Brandon have been great to work with. They're fun and imaginative, easy to communicate with, and their pricing was great for what we got. We loved our e-pics and we're excited to have them do our wedding in the spring! Definitely check them out.

    We're going with Inlux Photography and they're based out of Canton.  They're a long time boyfriend and girlfriend duo and they're work is fantastic.  They're $500 over your budget, but they have everything that you're looking for as far as 8 hours coverage time, 2 photographers, etc.  They also include an engagement session, $150 print credit, photos on DVDs, etc.  You can check out their website: www.inluxphoto.com.  The photographers, Jarred and Heather, and 2 of the nicest people and they're very creative.  I went to college with Heather and I can tell you that she's wonderful.

    We are going with Hillary Ferguson Photography in Columbus. Our package includes Hillary as our main photographer, but she also has an assistant who comes with her. The package we chose also includes whole-day coverage and all of our photos on a disk with printing rights. We already had our engagement photos with her and were extremely happy with how they turned out, I would definitely recommend her!

    Good luck!

    We are going with picture the love. I can't get over how cool their pictures are. they run 2550 for unlimited hours, rights to the pictures (shared) which they give you on a usb drive, two photographers (husband and wife team), a cool album, and a great attitude. Plus the engagement session is only $250 and they are very flexible. They are both very talented and trained photographers so we will get great traditional photos plus some fantastic creative shots.
