    I am trying to find a good photographer (probably in the Cappadocia region of Turkey).  When I look at the photography offered through packages, it all looks very amateur.  I am a hobbyist, and I think I could take better pictures.  How do you guys find decent photographers when you do destination weddings?  Anyone know how I could do this?  (I am literally just hiring an officiant and a photographer - super simple elopement wedding!)  ANy help would be great!

    Contact a local university or study abroad program and see if they have any photography students . . . honestly, that is a tough call.  IF you really want to be assured of what you're getting, you will probably have to bring someone with you.  Perhaps also see if theres a cruise line that comes by the area where you are who has a good photographer on board that you could also hire while they're stopping there (really thinking outside the box here) or maybe a local hotel.

    Honestly, I just googled for one, "bali wedding photographer."  I checked out their websites/blogs and a couple of them had the style I was looking for.  

    Another option would be to do an online search for weddings that took place in Turkey or that area and see who their vendors were. I did one on google images "bali wedding" and on sites like StyleMePretty.

    Good luck!

    I definitely second ipwsp.  When we were looking in Europe we found amazing photographers.

    This guy is very good.  He's way out of my budget though!
