photography

My fiance and I are having a hard time choosing a photographer. We met with 4 already.. One I liked is too expensive and one he liked I didn't like. We have a wedding coordinator who recommnded people to us but they all seem to be sooo pricey.. 5000-6500 for just 8 hours, proofs and a cd. Anyone have experience with good non-posey photographers?

    Aga Images, Turn Loose the Art, Chris Jorda, Kate Drew Miller and Stephanie Relnish would be my picks! Good luck!

    I used Aga Images, it's over a year since my wedding and I still find excuses to chat with them...lol...they are simply awesome!

    Our photographer is in your budget and we love him! You check him out at MattRamosPhotography.com or MattRamosBlog.com. He's from Albany and very creative. Definitely non-posey.

    Hi Nicole,

    I am a wedding photographer, new to the NYC area, and I offer affordable rates. I am a photojournalist at heart, and a bride-to-be as well. I am easy to work with and will take beautiful candid photographs.

    You can see my work at www.beimaged.com and www.melissalynnphoto.blogspot.com. Let me know if you might be interested, or if you would like more some other suggestions - I know a few other very talented NYC photographers who would be able to work within an affordable budget.

    Good luck, and I hope to hear from you!

    Take Care,
    Melissa Lynn

    Definitely Sarah Tew:
    She's great on price, let's you pick what kind of services you want, easy to work with and truly a professional. Plus, keeping in touch with her is fun even after the wedding. She does engagement, family portraits, maternity photos and more.

    I just got my photos back, and I'm in love with them!

    I love Laura! She is such a fantastic photographer! She really has a great eye for unique unposed pictures. Plus, she is super fun. I did a boudoir shoot with her and she made me feel sooo comfortable. She was already booked for my wedding date, but I would have used her in a heart beat. Her boudoir stuff is really great too! www.rueboudoir.com
    Highly recommended.....Smile
