My photographer is AMAZING - I live in DE, but i am pretty sure he travels and DC is just a couple hours from us. His website is www.leafo.us

We only have engagement photos now - we're waiting on the wedding photos, but i think he and his wife are incredible photographers - they work so well together, and there are always two photographers for a great price. Plus they are young and fun and make you really comfortable while shooting you. I'll try to find the link i had to my engagement photos.

EDIT: here's my thread about our engagement photos - https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/engagement-photos-i-love-my-photographer.130331/

Thanks Violet! Your pictures are lovely! I remember seeing them before! I didn''t think about DE... I have a friend that got married there, and I loved her wedding photos... need to give her a call!

Thanks!!!

I really love this photographer''s work. Had she been available on my date I definitely would have considered paying for her to travel to RI from DC to capture our day.

No pics yet, but I liked all three photogs we looked at, and our coordinator recommended one more:

We are using Elaine Studley. Also liked Freed (they have a bunch of different photogs, and Bryan was my fave) and Juan Carlos Briceno. Coord recommended Geoff Chessman (I *think* that was his name).

Trillionaire - i just texted my photog, and he said they LOVE to travel for weddings - check out his website and pricing - they are really great and reasonable. So, if you like him, they would be totally willing to travel to DC!

Violet--Your photos look great! I missed your post on here, but had actually seen them on the photographers blog previously! My brother sent me the link, as photos of him were posted just a few days before yours (with a band he had played with)--small world, isn''t it?

Trill--My wedding isn''t till July, so I can''t speak from experience, but I''m really looking forward to working with my photographer! She''s just gotten into wedding in the past year or two, so doesn''t have a ton of wedding photos on her blog (she used to do mostly baby photography) but I love her work! http://katesmithphotography.wordpress.com/

That is a small world Laine! I''ve seen the pictures of your brother''s band! I really like your photog''s site too - very pretty pictures!

I just went through her blog a little and her commentary and photos actually made me cry at work this morning. LOVE this photographer.

Clairitek, Shertz, Violet, Laine, FebBride, Stephbolt,

Thank you ladies so much for the AMAZING recommendations! I''d glanced at each page, but need to go through them more closely this weekend, but you all clearly have impeccable taste, and I am so grateful that you took the time to help me along on my search. One of my fav. highschool friends just got engaged last week, so I am thrilled to death to have a ''Bridal buddy'' to putz through this process with... we just had lunch and are already planning trips to bridal shows!

Thank you so much for your help, it''s so hard to choose!

Hi, Trillionaire,

I would recommend Jan Graves. She''s in Arlington, VA. She is utterly fantastic and I really loved her work.

Here''s her site: http://www.janmichele.com/

She IS fantastic!

Thank you so much! Man I hope some of these folks are willing to play ball with their pricing, since FI and I will be eloping, and our ''wedding'' would be more like an engagement photoshoot... no guests, nothing to document except us...

Here''s my photographer, he''s in Southwest VA, but I am sure he would travel and he is amazing. He''s been in Grace Ormonde wedding style more than once now. http://www.adambarnesphoto.net/home.html I really enjoyed working with him.

Thank you so much Sarah! The photos look incredible, and I loved the website! Alas, they are already booked for my date.

It''s so funny to me, I feel no sense of urgency about this wedding/elopement, but apparently the world is perfectly happy to steam ahead without me!

Guess I should start eyeing photogs for the reception too... EEK!

[emeraldlover1]

I came across this photog when I was looking for pictures of girls that wore the same dress as I did. I liked her work a lot: http://jennifer.lovelifeimages.net/
