tell me about your photographer

[blumenthale]

There are a lot of photographers mentions thru this forum. Sungold has many photographers in their group. I chose Brian Nejedley (briandesign.com) but Stacey Clark was close runner up, (google her for her website). I may actually use her for a TTD. Another option is to ask the photographers if you can use their assistants. Their assistants are often very good photographers who will work for a reduced fee. Plus, many have package options, but you can pick a shorter timeframe, like the ceremony and an hour more for formal pics, short time equals less money. Good luck.

If you can't seem to find any way of hiring a cheaper photographer maybe you can reason with your FI and cut back on some other aspects of the wedding that may not be as important to you.

My WC is pushing for me to use Saab for my photographer. Does anyone know how they compare?

We just finished working with Misha Earle. Our wedding was Monday and she was very professional, made us both feel comfortable and put up with all my quirks. I haven't seen any pictures yet but based on the "feel" of the day I'm confident they turned out well. I will be posting a full review when they come in.

 

Misha Earle Photography

we ended up looking in the knot's magazine and though I guess she doesn't advertise, we found one that got some award by the readers and then looked her up on Yelp. One of the recent DWs she did is here Moon Dance Cliffs / Moondance Villas Weddings

 

I know depending on the location she offered some brides on the knot free destination shoots as long as the trip and hotel was covered. We didnt get that deal but its worth a shot I guess just to see. What is seems like is one of the top photographers that is in the states (blog says she shoots in chicago and new england and then destinations). hope this helps anyone who is looking at lower cost options.

Hi Amandajill,

 

I am currently looking for a photographer and I am getting married at Gran Bahia Principe too! Thank you for sharing the info for the photographer that you are using!! I already contacted her and am waiting to hear from her.

I'm using Misha Earle too as she was recommended by my WC. I also emailed Saab and Sungold for quotes. All three were quick with responding-Saab being the most expensive.

 

I'm still trying to convince the DH to do a trash the dress...but he's not budging:)

i'm having the same issue! it's just costs a lot to hire a photographer! i have found people here who are willing to travel for free and the cost is okay, but i'm not crazy about their portfolio. guess i will have to keep looking
