My daughter is getting married next August 4th. We are hoping to secure a photographer by the end of November. I thought I'd post our search here, just in case any of you have interest in possibly being hired for the event. We are in Hamilton, Ohio - which is about 20 miles north of Cincinnati.
My budget for the photography is pretty generous, but not overwhelmingly so. The bride and groom have both agreed to pre-ceremony formals, and the wedding is an afternoon affair in a traditional church. Rather small wedding party ( 9, including the bride and groom.)
If you don't think you want to take on the full task, but might be interested in being a "second shooter" , you can let me know about that as well. We may or may not have an extra, depending on the policy of the main photographer and what we know he/she can provide for us.
I"ll probably bump this a few times this month. Thanks!

He gets booked pretty far in advance but you should check out Chris Keels.
He is awesome.
His style is more hands-off photojournalistic.
He did my wedding 3 years ago and is a great guy.
He ended up using one of the shots for his marketing material so it was fun to see us now and then on posters, cards etc.

It's about a 4 hour drive for me, but if you can't find anyone closer, by all means give me a shout, Judy.

2 Round trip tix from Reyjkavik to Cinci and hotel will probably be cheaper than anything else

I will keep you in mind for a second shooter as we get closer to the date. I have a folder to keep all the responses in, but right now I'm mainly trying to secure the main photographer.
I've had several responses, but I don't think my budget will cover any type of travel costs. As it is, I'm hoping to keep the photography under the $1500 mark (including the album with prints.) Locally, I can get a nice package for $1,200 from a competent photographer with a lot of experience. I'd like to have a bit more creativity, but I guess I don't have the budget for that :)
We are keeping the entire wedding under $5,000, so the photography is actually a pretty large % of the budget. I believe it will be a fun, lovely, and beautiful wedding, but it will be beauty created on a budge :) |
