Wedding photographer recs?

My best friend is getting married!  She's overwhelmed by the >$3K pricetag on photographers, so I'm trying to dig up some options for her.  She doesn't need the best of the best and I'll be doing her engagement pictures so she won't need that either.

It'll be up in the St. Cloud area, so does anyone have any affordable recommendations that are in central MN or that would travel from the cities?  Thanks!

Re: Wedding photographer recs?

  • When is her wedding?  I have a friend that has helped out a photographer doing weddings and has professional equipment.  He's doing one by himself in June.  Maybe that can be an option?  PM me if you'd like. :)

  • Come ask over on The MSP Knot board!

     

    We used Snap.Grin Photography and loved them.  We only paid $1k, but I think they're up around $1500 now. 

  • Numbers- I'll ask her, but I know she's somewhat picky about them actually having a business.  She knows my biggest regret is not doing a true professional photographer for my own wedding!  Her wedding is sometime around May 2012.

    Steph- thanks!  I posted it over there.  The website looks great for the one you posted, it just looks like St. Cloud might be out of their range of locations.  I'll have her email if she's interested.

  • We used Ben Berndt Photography and LOVED him.  We also worked with Dana Schoppe and she had a fantastic personality.  I believe that both still start around $1500 for all day.  I have pictures from both in my bio, along with a full review and contact info.

    The photographer's name is Ashley, and she worked with us on pricing (we also had a friend of ours do our engagement pictures, so she cut us a deal based on that too). Our wedding pictures turned out beautifully, and she gave us all the rights to our photos as well. 

     

    She's super professional, great to communicate with.

     

    She also brought a friend of hers (Salwa Bullard) to assist her on the wedding day. She took excellent shots as well, and blogged a couple of our wedding photos she captured: http://www.salwabullard.com/2010/brianna-and-chris-wed/

    He has a photography business he just doesn't do a whole lot of weddings.

  • I have done a wedding with Bethany at Sparrow's Eye...www.sparrowseyephotography.com/ and just met a couple of the photographers at www.studio220weddings.com.

  • My cousin used Simply Expressive Photography for her wedding in Willmar (they're based in St. Cloud though). I think she paid $1200 ... but their prices may have gone up a bit because the website now lists the same package for $1500.

  • We used Becca Dilley and paid 2k for the entire day, but I negotiated down. She was AWESOME! www.beccadilley.com
  • Do you know if she has looked at HM Photography? Heidi does weddings, and I think she's booking for next year already too(but I am not 100% sure). she lives in *** Rapids which is just about 1 hr from St Cloud. I think her lowest package is around $2000. hmphotographymn.com .

  • Britt from Render Photography was around $1500 for a very extensive package.  Great fun personality and my pics were fantastic IMHO. I got compliments from almost everyone who saw them and many thought they were the best they've seen. Super fun and acomodating.
