She’s wanting a good photographer for as cheap as possible (not wanting to spend thousands or even hundreds of dollars if possible). She’s been looking online for photographers but the cheapest she’s found is one hour for $400, the rest are in the thousands. She’ll be married outdoors at rocky mountain national park. Any ideas for a professional, affordable, quality photographer in that area? Thanks!

Prices
Each comes with All photos on DVD (up to 1,000), 100 enhanced photo, copy right release so you can print them as much as you’d like.
$550 – 8 Hour
$450 – 6 Hour
$350 – 4 Hour
Engagement – $75, and that $75 goes into the price of a wedding if you book your wedding with us too. (So you’d be getting them free if you book a wedding with us too…or its just $75 if you don’t…I have to work on the wording for that)
I’m still building a portfolio but here is what I’ve got so far (and I just upgraded my camera gear so it can only get better haha).
Wedding 1 -http://secure.smilebox.com/ecom/openTheB…
Wedding 2 (most recent, I don’t like how the slideshow cropped my images though :( ) – http://secure.smilebox.com/ecom/openTheB…
Engagement – http://secure.smilebox.com/ecom/openTheB…
Would you deem my work good enough for the price I’m asking. You would be getting me and an assistant.
Website layouts
-Do you prefer to look at it per wedding (clicking on John and Kates wedding, then another persons etc)
-or just one gallery of different weddings
And how bad would it be fore me to list competitors (with their permission) on my site. Part of the reason I started this is I’ve studied photography for almost 6 years, and am also a bride. I felt that brides needed an affordable photographer. I thought it would be nice to include a separate section to list venues, hints & tips, etc on my page. So brides who visit, but decide I’m not the photographer for them can still get helpful information. (This is where my fiancee says I’m too “nice” to be in marketing)
Thanks for reading :D And answering.

(I’m in Washington, DC.) The quotes for most photographers are anywhere from $2400 – $3000 — and that doesn’t include travel expenses! Eek! We’re having a very small wedding (50 guests) and the costs above would send us waaaaay over budget.
Ideas? Thanks!!!

I don’t want an engagement session, I don’t want a trash the dress session, I don’t want all-day coverage. I want someone to show up with a camera, do a half hour session with me (the bride) and my bridesmaids before the wedding, a half hour session with the groom and his men, a half hour session with me and my groom, then the wedding itself (45 minutes, tops), and an hour right afterwards of everyone. Hand me the memory card (or mail me a CD/DVD later) and leave. Three hours, four tops.
Please and thank you. :-)
P.S. please no lectures about how important photography is, how I shouldn’t stimp on the pricetag- trust me, if I could afford it I’ve got my fav photographer already picked out- at ten grand. Knowing great photography isn’t important doesn’t mean I can afford it.

It seems like almost all of them are charging over 1500 just to take pictures and give you the negatives. Does anyone know of a good deal on wedding photography around LA that will allow us to leave with at least some images to keep instead of just a cd with the proofs?

Six years ago, digital cameras really moved into the mainstream and people began to ask their family members and friends to photograph their weddings.  With film leaving and being replaced by memory sticks, most people really thought that they could do it on their own and save some money.  After all, can’t you move people where you want them and hit a button?  If you don’t like the picture you’ve taken, you can always just delete it and take another without losing a frame like you did with film.  The simple fact is, you can hand a chisel and hammer to anyone and teach them how to use them, but that doesn’t make them a sculptor. 

 

Cameras are everywhere now; in our phones, hovering over every street intersection, on the dashboard of every police car and inside every public building.  The fact that they are so common now has had a very interesting effect on the photography industry.  Years ago when it started, people thought they could take their own photographs because they could afford a good camera like the professionals.  Time has passed and like the hammer and chisel, people have begun to realize that they are not photographers; they are just people with cameras.  The traditional photographer is now making a comeback because we’ve all seen how bad our own pictures are, and we don’t want our wedding pictures to look like that.

 

The recent economic downturn has changed all of our lives dramatically in a short period of time.  During this part of the economic cycle, people stop valuing money as much and reconnect with the important things in life; family, friends and memories.  When the economy is down, weddings and childbirths go up.  This has created resurgence in the photography industry as people are looking for a professional who doesn’t charge a months salary.  There aren’t very many of these professionals around anymore, but supply and demand dictates that this hole will be filled as more people need it.

 

If you are looking to get married or just need to have some pictures taken of your family, don’t make the same old mistakes.  Hire a professional and preserve your memories the way they were meant to be, by someone who knows what they are doing.  “I have seen a huge slow down in business, but it seems to be building up again”, says Harold Porter, a Colorado wedding photographer.  Weddings are on the rise and wedding photographers are going up with them, but a complete recovery may be years away.  The people who love to take pictures and are good at it today may be photographing your wedding a few years from now!

During this economic downturn, people have decided to go back to their local businesses to find good deals. My father is one of many Denver wedding photographers that has seen a rise in the wedding business.

Enhancements in picture resolution and shutter velocity makes it uncomplicated for proficient photographers and novices to equally capture splendid pictures. And though a picture may not be perfect at the time it was shot, highly sophisticated photo-editing application packages (i.e. software) is capable of transforming the picture into a masterpiece of art in no time flat!
Guess What? One of the enormous rewards of digital photography is that it allows you to rapidly and without difficulty distribute your pictures and snapshots with acquaintances and relatives wherever they may be on earth via electronic mail (e-mail). Do you care to remember the hassle that you would have gone through if you tried using your old your film camera to do that?
Veteran digital or film photographers affirm that timing is, for the most part, a major important issue for shooting a first-class picture. There is only a small, fraction of time available to capture a grand shot. Be it a shot of a splendid sunset or a snapshot of athletes as they cross the finish line, your timing must be razor-sharp, this is the intuition that lets you know precisely when to depress that shutter knob. This is the reason why digital photography is an art form.
To a large extent, majority of photographers never really actualize their dream of shooting that “perfect” shot. For instance, their picture may be framed well, but the lighting is not exactly right. Or maybe they’ve got the lighting accurately, but they forget to use the flash or red-eye decreasing option. Instances like these give digital photography an obvious edge because it offers a brilliant method to getting the precise look you intended to capture in a picture.
Guess what? A second tremendous advantage of digital photography is its capability to print out your snapshots almost instantly. Whereas with film cameras you would have had to take the film to be processed before going back to pick them up, digital photography gives you an instant alternative!
All shots taken via a digital camera can be altered digitally via photo-enhancing software to attain its full potential – color improvement, zoomed or cropped to their finest size, red-eye reduction etc., etc. All of these editing options occur within minutes, giving you the opportunity and advantage of having the most outstanding photos ever shot.
The tag-team of a high-quality digital camera and a good photo-editing software package can achieve great things. Your camera has built-in capabilities that represent only the start of the editing potential expected of the digital photographic era.
Guess what? Another gigantic advantage of digital photography is the ability for you to tweak and change your pictures and images in any way that you please. Due to the fact that your photos are in digital files, they can be worked on in photo-editing software packages that enables you adjust the images in a variety of ways thereby enhancing its final output.
Editing software can be utilized to tweak images in any way you wish. Retailers locally and online can furnish you with the gear, photo-enhancing software, and information you require to capture splendid digital photographs. Before settling on a choice of digital camera, you ought to verify that it has all the features and options that you require for your work. Go for models having not only the capability to deliver those great pictures you so require but that also boasts simple docking methods for transferring these pictures from the camera to your printer or PC. High-quality photo-enhancing software that enables you modify your digital images include: Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photo Album and Kodak Picture.
So, now you know all about the advantages that digital photography has over your basic film camera technology. Bottom line? Your choice of camera/technology, should ultimately be informed by what you intend to achieve at the end of the day! Have fun.
