My Fiance and I are getting married in June 2013 and have been looking for wedding photographers, however after looking at hundreds and contacting quite a few, it seems that the ones that we like are always out of our budget. We are paying for our wedding ourselves and our total budget is $10,000. Our budget for a photographer is $2500-$3000.
Are there any good places to search for Wedding photographers online besides google. The wedding will be in Santa Barbara CA, and there have to be some great photographers in the area that we can afford, we are just having a hard time finding them.
We are both amateur photographers and are terrified of getting bad wedding photo's.
I have been trying to think of ways to get costs down. Is having a photographer without a second shooter at a discounted price worth it if we can get one we love? We already plan on skipping an expensive album and having on done ourselves. The one thing I am really hesitant about is a shorter shoot time, I would like at least 8 hours of coverage.
Any ideas you guys can share to find great photographers in our price range and keep costs down would be greatly appreciated.
