Wedding Photographers - Information

[ChristinePlanning]

Hi Everyone,

My fiance and I have been knee-deep looking for wedding photographers. I've collected a list of many different photographers (from all price ranges), and thought I would share some of them - I haven't seen too much information available about wedding photographers in these forums, unfortunately, so hope this will be of some help. I think Chung and Augie Chang's works are among my favorite that I've seen so far, but of course they're out of my price range :( I've included the quotes I either saw on their website or received from the photographers themselves - it helps to calculate their rates per hour - some of them are ridiculously high, but I'm sure someone out there may be interested. Good luck!

I LOVED our wedding photographer, and would not replace him even if we had a higher budget.

Check out Vincent Au Photography (http://www.vincentauphotography.com/). His prices (starting at $1700 for 5 hours) have gone up since I hired him last October, but I still think he is worth every penny.

Vincent has the right skills, talent, and the attitude. He did not push us into hiring him, nor did he make us choose the most expensive package. We had to make changes to our package as we got closer to the wedding date, and he easily accommodated us. Very easy-going, and made us at ease on our wedding day both to us and to our family and guests.
