Having a hard time picking out a photographer/videographer

I knew this was going to be the hardest thing for me to chose and I was right. I really wanted Pennylane or JPI films (or similiar style) for my videographer but they blow my budget out of the water and I just can't justify paying more than double the price for them than a regular videographer (well I can, but DH can't)....so I can't help but to feel like I'm settling. As far as photographer, I love the photojournalistic style, and most I've seen so far are very plain and too 'safe' for my liking.

Any comments/recommendations/help is greatly appreciated!!

TIA

Did you check out Patken yet? I could not find anyone who could beat the price for all they offer and they are sooo nice.

I'm using Hart + Sol Photography. Their photos have a very vintage feel and they fit right into my budget.

Check out Orange Films for Video ... Ed's packages range from 1800-2500, and he is incredible!! You can also see one of his videos on Pastor April's website.

Re: Having a hard time picking out a photographer/videographer

I have no recs for video, those expensive ones are the ones I drool over, too.

As for photo, I highly recommend Duet or Lovemore Photo!

OMG I am a believer in LIGHTHOUSE photography!!! HUGE fan!!! They seriously work with your budget, they don't judge the price... and for the amount that I am paying for my package, totally saved me about $600 compared to other photographers. And I swear their work...is UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Love,Love Love them!!!! We're also using them for video too. Again, they work with your budget!!!! FM if you want the #.
