    Have you heard about Bella Photography?  They have some really good packages and their consultants are great to work with.  They also have several photographers so any date works.  You can even change your date once you've signed a contract!

    If you don't mind my asking, what price range are you thinking? For some people reasonable is 10K and for others it's $500!

    We are going with Kelsey Thompson... she is really amazing! For 7 hour coverage I think the total is something like $3400.... kind of pricey but worth it! Here is her blog: http://kthompsonphotography.blogspot.com/

    I also love Casey Templeton, Katie Stoops, and Jodi Miller. Their work is phenomenal!

    I cannot say enough about Brandy Crist-Travers with Modern Toile Photography. She is such an amazing person and photographer. Just a pleasure to work with and she really, I mean REALLY goes the extra mile.

    I just got back our wedding pics! Our photographer did a GREAT job! He did not miss a minute and took AMAZING pictures. Our day started at 7:30 am and ended at 1 am and he was there the entire time! I found out about him from a recommendation here on weddingbee and I just wanted to pass along the information. His name is Don Harper.

    He's been fantastic, really willing to work with us and quick to respond--fantastic for people planning from out of state like we are! He has a really clean, fresh style.

    I used Joe Brier from The Happy Couple (www.thehappycoupleonline.com). My wedding was just this past weekend so I have not seen any pictures, but he is a very nice, chill guy and was trained as a photojournalist. It was great working with him and I can't wait to see the pictures.

    I paid $2000 for 8 hours of coverage and just a DVD of the pictures (no albums, engagement shot, etc). I think his prices have gone up a smidge. He also offers packages with albums, a photo booth, engagement shoot, a second shooter, etc.

    We hired Procopio Photography and we highly highly recommend them.  For $2800, we got 8 hours of coverage from 2 photographers, an engagement session, 20 free prints, and a high resolution dvd of the pictures from the engagement session and the wedding.  PM if you have any questions or want to see my blog posts of our engagement session.

    We used TerraDawn for our engagement session and she was awesome!!  We are getting married in Texas, so we couldn't book her for the wedding...but if I could afford it I would fly her down in a heartbeat.  SO much fun to work with!!

    I highly recommend the photographer we hired.  His name is Mick Lerlop and we were his first wedding (found him on Wedding Bee!) so he was such a steal!  Our friends and family area always telling us how great our photos are.  He's based in VA but he traveled to our wedding by Baltimore... seriously check out his photos in the link--they're all absolutely beautiful.

    Hello Bees,

    I'm a Baltimore Bride but my photographer is based in Springfield VA. She is amazing and sweet. She has a great eye and doesn't do stock photos. She did a wedding of a friend and the pictures are breath taking. Her website is akgfoto.com and her name is Amanda. Her prices are great and it includes an engagement session. If you use her please let her know LaToia and Bernard referred you. Thanks
