Photographer recommendations?

Jun 04, 2008 00:43

Does anyone in ME or NH have a photographer they love and would recommend? I'm searching for one right now, and I have a list of people I'm considering but I really want to look at people that I know others have used/are using and really like. My cap is $2000. (Ugh, it will be harder to find someone really good, I know.)

Closed Circle Photo if she will travel as far as your site.

We are using www.hinkleyphoto.com and I am SO excited!! We talked them down to $2700 for a big package, if you had fewer hours/less stuff you might be able to get it under $2k.

I actually looked at Closed Circle Photo, because I've seen a lot of her work on reallifewedding, but she is taking the weekend of my wedding off. Bust!

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do!

She did the photography for my first wedding, and everyone thought she did an excellent job. It was 10 years ago now (wow, has it really been that long?!), so I don't know what her pricing is like nowadays, but I would recommend talking to her. She had a lot of package options, including one where we just got all the proofs & could pick & choose for enlargements (my grandfather carved our wedding album cover, so I didn't want to be stuck with the photographer's 'standard' album).

If you do use her, I'd be curious if she still remembers us!

Carol Savage is in Bethel and is out of this world amazing.
Check out her blog here: http://www.carolsavage.blogspot.com/
She just did my engagement shoot and we loooooved her. She has a website too: http://www.carolsavagephotography.com/

I have been in so many wedding over the years in Maine that I have worked with a TON of photographers. And she is the BEST, hands down, no contest. Not only is she insanely talented, but she is FUN and very personable. My parents love her too and they are terribly hard to please- so check her out!

I had someone tell me to go to a local university/college and inquire about student photographers.
Being a student myself, I have volunteered my services to others at little or no cost (make up and aesthetics).
It's an idea I'm thinking of for my own wedding.

Hey!
I am using Elite Photography in Londonderry NH. Tammy is the owner and the head photographer and she is great! Her work is amazing and she is so personable. She loves her job and wants to do it, which I think makes a huge difference. Here is her website. http://www.elitephotonh.com/ She lists her prices and what that includes right on her website.
