    I need help, anyone have any great photographers that won't charge me my first born?  I am prepared to spend $2500-$3000 (which is already a lot) on my wedding photos and prefer the photo journalistic look as opposed to pose and shoot.  I have an appointment with Childers in 2 weeks, looked at Mark Garver - TOO EXPENSIVE!  Any other ideas from any Dayton bees???  Looking for options...or else can anyone give their experience with Childers?

    This is very tough here. We have a huge gap in prices, and anyone who takes OK photos is WAY too much. We ended up getting so frustrated that we are hiring my cousin-- an art/hobbyist photographer to do it. Wish I had more advice to offer-- I was so happy to see another Dayton bride finally.

     

    Blink of an Eye is good-- but super pricey.

     

    I am asking one of my best friends. I think hers was in that price range and was AWESOME

    I just read the end that you were looking at Childers. I think Blink of An Eye may be comparable in prices with them. I'll let you know once my friend texts me back.

    Wow...THANKS!  I love the christina littleton photos. I will have to contact and get a quote!  Blink of an eye looked good as well but the photos seemed a little rustic for me.

    Good luck! I can almost guarantee CL is in your budget, I don't know how much she spent, but I know her total budget and would say it fits. She was also very nice to the bridesmaids.

    I went to Tracy Abston for my boudoir photo shoot and fell in love with her!  She is amazing!!  Very spunky, very professional, and a great photographer.  Not sure what her prices are for weddings, but I know that she does photograph them.  I suggest looking at her website: www.picturesbytracy.com and contacting her for prices.

    too bad DH and I will be there the weekend before for a wedding at Miami and we do wedding photography and only charge about $1250. 

    Long stretch but: If you really wanted to make it work we could since I'm sure he'll want to hang out with old friends and family during the week in Ohio - he also has a flexible work schedule.  check out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyamato/collections/72157624690849699/

    good luck!

    We used Kevin Lush- photojournalistic, gives you all the CDs with rights, and we got the CDs a week after the wedding!  He's reasonable- we paid around $1250 for eight hours and got almost 1200 pictures.

    There's a couple in Greenville (just North of Dayton) who is fantastic!  They're called Look Here Photography.  My sister used them, and her pictures were gorgeous.  Their blog is http://lookherephotography.blogspot.com.  They update their facebook page pretty frequently too.

    I love love love my photographer, Sarah Babcock. She is what I consider pricier but I think she can fall within your budget and I learned while searching for a wedding photographer that you really do get what you pay for. http://www.babcockstudio.com/
