Need Photographer help....

Hi everyone!!

Okay so I am still looking for potential photographers (this should be my last vendor!!)....even though I do have one in mind (Amanda Picone)...I still wanted to look around.

Since everyone raved about Duet, I called them and they were booked for my date.

That being said....Please suggest your photographers.
I am looking for a mix of traditional and journalistic and only basic packages. I am looking for in the range of about no more than $2K.

TIA

Mine is Jaclyn Noelle Photography. She's really good and first package starts at 2000.

To be quote honest, I am looking to find a package that is for budget brides like myself. I don't necessarily need to get all the albums etc right now. But if I can find a good photographer with a basic package that might include some things that would be fine.

I just want to be able to compare them to what Amanda Picone is offering me. That way I can weigh in on who is giving me more for my $$$.

For example I have listed below what Amanda Picone is offering. For pictures only, she starts at $1100. Her other basic packages are listed below:

The Very Basics Package is $1,550 and includes:
-8 hours coverage
-DVD of all images in high resolution format, with rights to print as needed
-Complimentary Hardcover 'Coffee Table' magazine-style album

The Standard package is $1,600 and includes:
-*8 hours coverage (extended coverage can be arranged at an
additional cost)
-a DVD of 4x6 proofs (images printable to 4x6') edited as needed, of all images (not just my 300 favorites!)
-*in-person pre-wedding and album design consultation
-*online hosting with ordering capabilities on a password protected
site
-*1 enlargement up to 20'x30' (your choice of photo)
-*100 flat (one-sided) thank you cards, or 100 wallet sized photos
(your choice of photo)
-$150 print credit toward your album order)
