    Hi,

     After much research without actual success, I still don't have a photographer for my wedding early next year.  Two photographers who were within my budget and whom I seriously considered got pregnant and will deliver around the time of my wedding so I was not able to book them. And even someone I wanted to hire to do a wedding cake got pregnant as well!

      I need recommendations for a photographer around $3000 or under in the Orange County area.

     Also, is negotiation acceptable?

     Thanks,

     TdB

    In LA but the OC won't be a problem for him.  His packages start around $2000.  Our $3000 package included a second photographer, engagement session, engagement guestbook, album, all high-res images on CD, and a bunch of 8x10 and 11x14 enlargements.

    You can always negotiate with a photographer if you don't want certain things.  Say, you don't want any enlargements or proofs; you can ask for a discount for that.

    Also, there's no danger that he'll be pregnant by your date.

    I would look into www.ventureoutphoto.com.  He does photography on the west coast in oregon, California and Washington.  His prices range from $800-$1600 plus travel costs.

    Sorry I can't give you any recomendations but maybe you should think about hiring a man. You seem to have a catching kind of karma that gets ladies pregnant.  Good luck with your search.
