I HEART Elizabeth too! When we hired her back in June for our wedding, I figured I would get in contact with her a few months before. Little did I know that she is always thinking about her brides... she is so sweet she emails regularly with cute ideas she sees at other weddings. Also, I have emailed her a few times about things that I love in other weddings she shoots - on one occasion, she even got in touch with the bride to find out where she got her linens and centerpieces.

From what I can see, all the photographers you are considering look amazing! I am sure whoever you hire will make your wedidng look beautiful. If you still need to get in touch with Elizabeth, maybe I can help... I have a couple of email address for her. If you would like, I can PM them to you.

Thanks everyone for the great advice! I just wanted to update you guys on my decision... all the photographers mentioned are extremely talented and I don't think I would have gone wrong with any of them... but in the end I decided to go with Vincent, the associate photographer with Matt and Sol! I'm really happy with my decision and will definitely be posting pics after my wedding! I was able to view a lot of his prior work, and his pictures spoke to my FI and I the most... so artistic and creative, and it sounds like he's wonderful to work with. His prices are also really competitive for the quality of his work, and Matt and Sol have been so great to communicate with. Thanks again for all your advice... another crisis situation diverted thanks to BDW :)

Ann's right...

Having a photographer that's familiar isn't necessarily an advantage.
It is almost always more inspiring to shoot somewhere I've never been before... The important thing is to just make sure your photog has a little bit of time to familiarize him/herself with the area prior to the big day...the day before or even the day of should be just fine.
