karma: 2 |  Photographer Ideas (on a budget)
Hello all! I am looking for a photographer, and fast! I would like to do a trial photo session while I am on my scouting trip at the end of this month. I am looking for a few recommendations in the $350-$450 per hour range. Trying my best to stay within the budget! I understand there are several fantastic photogs that chage much more with a very high minimum and their profiles make it tempting to splurge. But I am resisting! I am looking for the best in my price range...any thoughts??
Thanks!

I just wrote this on another thread....oops. I used Gilda Badillo for $350/hr and she included a leather album with the photos and a CD. She did out engagement photos while we were in Cabo for our site visit. Gilda Badillo :: Professional Photographer | |

Have you thought about flying in a photographer? If you are thinking 4-6 hours with the budget you listed above that is $1400-2700. Plus a trash the dress which would be around another $500.
Personally I found an amazing photographer for well within that budget and that includes the cost to fly him in and have him stay for four nights.
Would you consider doing that?

we're considering gilda badillo and her a la carte package (per hour rate, which includes all your shots on cd --not just 100-200 per hour, but ALL of them! -- with the rights to them) is $350 an hour. if you want to PM me, i'll send you the rest of her rates list i just got from her yesterday. she's really been nice so far and answers quickly.
(provided you dont have the same wedding date as me, haha) ;-)

I have Tomas Barron booked right now and have a $200 deposit down....he is charging me $300 per hour.
I have been second guessing myself though and considering other options...I just got emails from both bradley fraser and gilda today....and it's $350...so it's reasonable!!!
