    Has anyone used them? It's about time for us to book our photog, but with both of us out of the states right now, we're pretty much going on what we see on photographer's websites.  We're looking to spend like, 1000 bucks (I know right...) and get a photojournalistic style. 

    We don't really care about having books or prints done, as long as we get all retouched photos on a cd with rights, we'll do it ourselves.  I'd like to have 2 photogs, but I think Beck and Call is only one person.  I just liked what I saw on her site, and what she had to say about herself and her style, and the fact that she spends pretty much the whole day with you!

     So does anyone have any reviews about this photog?  (Or suggestions for another one in the DC area?)

    I hope it's not too late yet. I used them.  I can say, I am not very happy with the pictures.

    Jennifer is a wonderful person, but reception pictures she took.. horrifying. She used some special flash that makes pictures look like my aunt took them with her point and shoot.  I an terrified and very disappointed with all these pictures on which she used flash, and my husband says she was just walking around, taking tons of pictures from different angles, even from somewhere around her hips, and as a result he found a few weird shots of himself.

    From the other side, portraits were great and all pictures without a flash were awesome and absolutely stunning. I wish there was a way to fix the flash mistake, but there is non.

    I talked to her about it and she made an attempt to fix the problem. Some pics turned out a bit better after the "fix", but it caused discoloring. I prefered her to switch pics to b/w, not that it helped too much.

     

    After all, it's been 4.5 months after the weeding, and I still don't have our DVDs. Jennifer says she mailed them, but no luck.

    I did recieve my bridal and engagement pics on time, though.

    Overall, I have mixed feelings about Beck and Call photgraphy. While Jennifer is a good artist, fun person and does take some wonderful pictures, I wish she had put more thoughts and practice into using different kinds of flash.
