I was just married in May and we used Lamar Wedding Center. They are a service, that provides contracts for local area photogs, but their service is excellent, and their pricing was great, compared to some others we looked at. They list their packages and prices right on the website, so you know what you are getting, and everything was delivered within just a few weeks. I recommend checking their website, and giving them a call, since they can pretty much be anywhere in the country. They also post all of the photos online, for any of your guests to view and purchase individually, too.http://www.lamarweddingcenter.com

Michele – where did you get married? I just checked out their website and was floored by the price of their pacakages.. I have been looking for photographers and have not found any priced this low. As far as NY the only location listed as available is Long Island.

I was married in New Jersey, and they used a local photographer for me. I was shocked with the pricing too, and went with them right away. My brother is getting married in Nov in Arizona, and he is paying close to $5400!!!! If you call them, they may still be able to subcontract out to a local photog around here. It might be a little more, but I would have to say it is worth it for their services, and for what they offer. We went with package 4, and I got the Thankyou cards faster than I got my invitations!!!

I would second the rec for Jill Kaiser (www.jillkaiserphotography) – I’ve been at several weddings that she’s photographed, and she’s fantastic.

Linda Conley (lindaconley.com) shot MY wedding (as well as several other weddings that I’ve attended), and she was awesome. Easy and fun to work with, and extremely talented. The photos from our wedding are amazing – we couldn’t have asked for better pics of our special day.

Matt Ramos is incredible. He did my wedding last year. Great personality and great to work with. His photos are absolutely beautiful. I can’t say enough great things about him! http://www.mattramosphotography.com

I agree with #10 – Heather Bohm-Tallman does amazing work. Plus she is wonderful to work with. After we used her for our wedding , we continued to use after our daughter was born for family portraits and they came out great.
