Wedding Help finding awesome photography sites

[EricaR]

I think I may have lucked out when it comes to photography. I have a friend who is a profession photographer, but most of her subjects are dogs and horses. She does both posed and candids and her photos are fantastic. I''ve never actually met her in person, but we''ve been on the same horse related message boards for more than 10 years now.

Anyway, on a whim I emailed her about how much she would charge to come shoot my wedding. She said she would do it for $500, plus her travel costs and any additional things (prints, etc) she would only charge me her cost. One of the things we''ve been emailing about has been photography styles I like. I''ve done a bit of looking around the web at various sites, but since I know that most of you guys have looked at photographers I figured that maybe I could "cheat" a bit on my research. Anyone want to post links to the most awesome photographer sites you''ve seen?

Oh, and you can see my friends site here: Julie Poole Photography

www.theshortlistsf.com is great. There are about 10 different high caliber photographers on there. Just enter the site and then click on photographers in the lower left hand corner and it will list them all along with some of their work and will also give you their individual websites.

My 2 favorite photographers of all time are:

Jessica Claire: http://jessicaclaire.net/index.cfm

Becker: http://www.beckersblog.com/

If I could afford them I would have hired them in a second. Their styles are fun, photojournalistic, energetic, and AMAZING!

*sorry to threadjack*
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!!! I think I''ve found two new best friends. I need to get their phone number! Haha. I think she did her own flowers. I know they had an iPod instead of DJ. Wow. I wish I had enough faith in my music taste to do an iPod wedding.

I need to get some tips from her.

I need to get some tips from her.

She is on my local Knot board (Michigan - Detroit). She is also on the NY board b/c that is where she lives. She is super nice and helpful if you wanted to get a hold of her. She also has contact info in her bio. Here is a link to her Married Bio and her Planning Bio

To add to the list of photographer websites:
My photographer: The Shooting Gallery
A few other ones:
Kristen Taylor
Susan Stripling
Jessica Johnston

Hope these are kind of like what you are looking for!

ETA: Oops! Crown already posted the link for Jessica Johnston. I thought she only put up the couples page. Sorry!

This is our photographer..... I LOVE HIM!!! He and his wife (photography partner also) are so so creative. His trash the dress photos under his blog are the best I have ever seen and have convinced me that I will probably trash my dress when we are in St. Lucia.

In addition to being our photographer, he basically was our wedding planner (long story) too!

Enjoy the show!

I LOVE Jessica Claire's site!! I check it out regularly.....I would have loved to have her shoot our wedding, but she is very pricey, and she is based in California!!!! She is amazingly talented though!

Thank you so much everyone! I''m going to take a few hours this evening to go through all of them. I''m really looking forward to it.

We got married on Maui, especially b/c I wanted this particular photographer: www.gordonnash.com

Angelica Glass

I am just pissed I found out about her after booking my guy (who I love but lacks the creativity of Angelica).

HOw do you girls feel about photobooths? we are debating whether or not to set one up, but are leaning against it due to the extra cost, but I think this are amazing... I hope this link takes you to the correct page on the blog...

My friend''s site, she and her husband shoot together and its just like hanging out with friends. We love our engagement shots, they took 1,000 pics in about 2 hours around the city so even with us thinking how un-photogenic we are, something good had to come out, right? I would ask your friend how many pictures she plans on taking...the odds get better of catching those special moments the more pics are taken. Her site

Oooh I am doing a photobooth!! Haven''t totally figured out all the details, but it is on our list!

As far as photography sites I love, here are 2:

www.boyfriendgirlfriendpictures.com (my wedding photogs)

http://www.sheyerosemeyer.blogspot.com/ (not all weddings -mostly kids from her family - it is actually a really touching story if you go back far enough. I dare you not to cry if you actually read it. The pictures are incredible.)
