Look at the photos and take note of which photographers you like. Email them and make an offer. Although they won't be $400 cheap, they won't be $4000 expensive either.
However, with them not specifically being just a wedding photog, the clearer you are with exactly what shots you want... the better they will fit your vision for wedding photos.
Another downside is they likely won't do a nice printed album for you. It'll be a DVD or two of images.
Stuart Gradon, IMO, is a pretty decent photographer for the herald. I've used him to shoot a variety of things before. |
yes. My dad used to be a Sun photographer and although somewhat biased as he is my dad, he's done some of the best wedding photography I've seen. He's so used to working hard to get a great photo and he just knows how to get the great shots and has no problem with lighting/composition or unexpected things happening. When he started out he practically did weddings for nothing, he charges a bit more now - but if all you're looking for are well lit, crisp, good coloured photos of your wedding, wedding party, whole day - a photojournalist is actually a smart way to go. By removing the "wedding photographer" tag its a lot cheaper.
That said, there is something amazing about a really artistic photographer, if thats the style you are going for. Neeper's photographs are stunning and artistic. It all depends on what you want for the photos.
