Affordable photography around Dallas/north of Dallas?

Lelly7, on September 15, 2016 at 12:46 PM Posted in Planning 0 14

My FI and I are on a pretty tight budget for the wedding, so we can only spend **** on wedding photography. I'm having trouble finding ones that we'd be happy with though, especially cause we want 2 photographers, not just one (for at least a portion of the time, we only need 6 hours of photography). Does anyone know any photographers in this price range that are good? We are getting married at Bella Donna Chapel in McKinney, TX so preferably closer to there the better. If anyone has some suggestions I appreciate it!

    Have you tried the vendor search tool? Or Googled, and then emailed photographers you came across? You should be able to find someone with skill for up to $2,300 for 6 hours. Don't get hung up on "needing" two photographers; a great photographer will be able to capture all the important parts of our day (and with a good timeline, he/she can capture both the bride and groom getting ready, if that's something you want). Talk with different photographers and see if they are willing to work out a package within your budget.

    Hi Lelly7, welcome to WW! Make sure to upload a picture for your avatar (instead of the default icons) so that we can get to know you and tell you apart from all the other posters.

    Have you looked through the WW vendor search yet? That's the best place to find vendors and read reviews from past clients:

    You might look at OKC-area photographers. Even with travel costs some very good ones are likely more affordable than in a big metro area.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I like the vendor search tool, it is just limited. I like the first 2 mentioned, Brittany Bay only offers 9 hours apparently lol, so I dunno what she'd do the other 3.

    Emilyg, thanks! I had not thought of that, I will give that a try

    Use Instagram - that's how I found my photographer and hundreds of others in my area.

    In your case you would use #dallasweddingphotographer or #texasweddingphotographer

    Not in your area, but the photographers we spoke to didn't advertise 6 hours, but they all put together packages for us that were just what we needed. It doesn't hurt to ask if they do shorter weddings. We're going with a package that has a second shooter only for a portion, which may also be an option.

    We used Amber Inman Photography and were so pleased! Her photos look like film. Check out my profile for examples of the engagement and wedding photos she did for us. We got her for a great price too.
