I need some help. Does anyone know a very reliable (and affordable) wedding photographer and videographer? I am getting married in August and have talked to so many people, but have not found that one that won't break the bank.
Y.,
My coworker (Jerry Murphy) is a videographer (Moving Memories Productions, Inc.) and he videoed my wedding in October 2004. I thought his prices were very reasonable. He is a wonderful man and his wife is his assistant. I have watched the video many, many times and enjoy it every time. He can be contacted at ###-###-#### or at www.moving-memories.net. Good luck!
Hey Y.
I have a friend who is a photographer and she is very affordable and great.She does all of our pictures.
She can do an album ,blow up canvas or just pics.. she can also do video to transfer to dvd. If you are interested in metting and talking to her about what you have in mind and prices I can e mail you her cell number.
Unfortunately, this tends to be one huge expense for a wedding. But it is one thing you will look back on often and if it isn't done right you can't redo it. You might be able to find a student at the art institute or something, but make sure you see their work and that they have at least done a few weddings. Also, make a list of all the groupings you want, give a copy to the photographer, and put a friend in charge of making sure you get them all. This is a special time when family and friends gather from all over and dress up, so it is a great opportunity for them to get some family photos too. Good luck finding a photographer and best wishes for your wedding!
Y.,
I am a wedding photographer out of Summerville that may be able to help. I work for Tillman Branch Photography (www.tillmanbranch.com). Email me at ____@____.com with your budget, what type photography you are looking for and a little about yourself.
Hi Y., The best advice I can give you if you are on a budget is to ask a friend or family member to take videos and photographs. Trust me when I say that although the pictures are great from our photographer, we hardly ever pull the album out and look at them. Another great way to get some candid shots at the reception is to have disposable cameras on all the tables. These had some of the funniest pictures from our wedding! My brother-in-law and my dad took videos, and although they're not fancy with music and all, they captured the moments all the same. And same as the pictures, I think we watched the videos once. Anyway, I don't know anyone from this area, but if you just spend a day and go and view different photographers work, I know you will find what you’re looking for. Just remember that a lot of the fluff that goes into weddings will never be remembered, so try and stick to your budget, because it's all over in just a few short hours! Good luck! Congratulations on your big day!!
I was just going through some emails I hadn't read, and ran across your request. If you haven't already found a photographer, I am one! I'm happy to mail a brochure to you if you'd like to email me (____@____.com). I also know a lot of photographers, so if I have the date booked I can give you more names. This may be too late, but thought I'd reply just in case. I love photographing weddings and portraits!
