I have a friend that is getting married in April and she is looking for a good photographer that isn't so expensive. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. So far, the ones she has contacted want to charge around $4,000.00. That is more than her reception is going to cost! She can't justify paying that large amount of money. It is a small wedding for close friends and family. Can you help?

I don't know how much they charge, but we love Mist Photography. http://www.weddingsbymist.com/

There are SO many photographers out there. What we did was set up an engagement shoot first and it helped us get to know the photographer, and see if we liked the style. We tried two different photographers and it was a no brainer when we saw the results. (I think we spent 100 - 150 for the 'engagement' shoot.. it was pretty cheap)

I listed a want add on Texas Photography Forums and thats how we came across people. I looked at portfolios to help us decide. http://www.texasphotoforum.com/forum/portal.php

Good luck!

$4,000 sounds like the top-of-the-line for wedding photographers; and they're probably very good too. I would say she needs to do some more shopping around. We paid $1,600 and loved our photos. If there is one thing on the wedding day not to scrimp on, it's the photos. There is no second-chance and those photos are forever. There are so many things about weddings that can cost so much money because there are people out there who associate higher costs with finer things. If you want to pay $10,000 for a wedding dress you can; but a $500 dress is just as beautiful and nobody will know how much you paid for it unless you flaunt that yourself (which I think those snooty rich people want to). I think people pay more because they want to impress there guests with how much money they spent.

My friend Brandi is an awesome wedding photographer, and her prices are much lower than that! Her website is www.dakota-photography.com. Her rates are listed on there, and there are lots of examples of her work as well. Her photos are absolutely stunning, in my opinion.

Hello!

My mom is a wedding photographer and VERY reasonable. She can send pictures of sample wedding photos she's taken and can give references. She will need to talk to the Bride about the wedding details and the kind of pictures she wants. Then she can send her a quote. You can e-mail her at ____@____.com
