    So I've been talking to a photographer for 1.5 months trying to get a meeting and we had a meeting for tomorrow scheduled.  Earlier this week she says one of her other clients wants to change her date to my date...ugh.  Now I'm all said and in a state of panic b/c I don't have a photographer yet.  If the photographer would of scheduled a meeting me in december i wouldn't be in this mess :(.  My wedding is in August.  Does anyone have any suggestions for photographers in the affordable price range $1500 - $2500.  Thanks...I'm going to cry now.

    dry your eyes and start calling around!!

    did you have a contract or still hadnt made it that far in the process?

    look on the bright side - you can find someone who's not going to keep blowing your meeting off!!

    GOOD LUCK!!

    Oh no!  Reila, she didn't work out for you?  That's so not like her!  I'm so sorry.  I feel a little responsable for recommending her.

    I don't know who to suggest at the moment, but you do have a lot more time than you would think.  I'm off to look!

     

    *hugs*

    Try Kristy Klemens.  I think she is just starting out.  Not sure what her rates are.  Her fiance's videography rates are really affordable.

    karieck, i just emailed jonilynn not to long ago after finding her on project wedding.  hopefully she responds! :)  gmta.

    ladysu and antizilla, you girls are so sweet.  can't wait to hear more.

    is it possible to find a photographer with a 'no-frills' package in the los angeles area? i'm looking for someone to shoot for about 6 hours, just our ceremony and reception, to give us all the high-res images on cd/dvd, and perhaps an option to buy an album later...

    is this possible for about $1000?

    Don't cry!! When is the wedding? I am going to look through my info in the morning and find someone for you!!! Myphotographer has comparable rates for some packages (or did when I booked, might have gone up) and you can try emailing her. Let me look tomorrow and send me a PM with your date and I can give you my photog's info.

    I eloped in Newport Beach and my photographers name was Tamara (Face on by Tamara). This was a mid week elopment package so it was only $450 for 4 hours. She e-mailed a two teaser photos that night and then got the CD to us with over 500 shots within a three weeks. I don't know how her work would be for a reception, but I loved the phots she did for me.

    You should call Michelle Taylor ASAP!  She's a talented photographer, pricing is very reasonable and she's wonderful to work with.  I've referred her to many clients and each one was very happy with her work.
