Re: Photographers

Soon, it all depends on your budget. Acording to the knot, the photography and videography should be about 12 percent of your budget. We are spending about 3,500 and it pretty much includes all the prep and until the last guest leaves. Good luck!

Re: Photographers

Hi Soon,

I don't know about the Columbus OH area, but 8,000 seems a little pricey to me.

Re: Photographers

My photographer is here in Baltimore BUT he did tell me he travels. He's charged my sister, my friend, and myself $400. I can give you his information if you like.

Re: Photographers

I havent went shopping for any photographers yet, but I was hoping to save some money by asking for them to take pictures of the ceremony only.

I live in the Dallas area. I might give jrobertsphotography.com a looksee.

Re: Photographers

Hey Diva Turyia, I know that you're still in honeymoon bliss, but you get a moment, please share with me the information about your photographer, with a price like that, I would love to have him as one of my vendors. I would just love to see his portfolio.

Re: Photographers

My photographer is AMAZING.... For our engagement session, we only paid $150 and for the ceremony we are only paying a little over $500. (we contracted him at his 2007 rate).

check out his site. we are on his engagement session pics (maureen & hakim)- if you look at the wedding pics, my friends are on there as well liane & terry. She actually found him on craigslist

www.hundalphotography.com

I found a videographer for $300 for ceremony only. He does videography at my best friends church so I'm waiting on a demo from him. Now the cheapiest I've found online for videgraphy was $1095 @ bly sky films. Amazing work

Striving for better than my Best!!!

Re: Photographers

sad to say...I still dont have a photographer
ITs so hard being here in ATlanta and the wedding being in VA
Im relying a lot on websites and asking photographers to send me pictures via email to view

Most packages in VA run about $2000 on up

Re: Photographers

2bemrspotts, try these, someone told me they were great!!! I don't really know how much they charge because I have not added GA as one of my state for Wedding Planning yet.

1. I Do Photography 703-502-8800 www.idophoto.com
2. Greg Knot 703-548-1299 www.gregknott.com
3. Glenn Barnett Photography 571-276-1299 www.gkebbbarbett,com

Again Diva, I have not worked with them, but I've been asking other wedding planners and those names keep popping up. Give them a call. Go to their website and see if you could use them. Definitely let me know how it turned out for you.

Re: Photographers

MrsPotts, try this site

www.hundalphotography.com

this is my photographer, I can give you his email if you need it. I really like his work and his prices are really good. What part of VA is the wedding? He's in the DC/VA/MD Metro area.
