Photographer Search...

So for the past week I've been narrowing down photographers that have the best work, and package for the "right" price (within our photo budget).

As an artist and someone who loves taking pictures, excellent photography at the wedding is a serious priority. I want to have the photojournalistic style of photography, which offers more candid shots and focuses on details and emotions often not seen in average "posed" photos. There will be some posed photos, such as the bridal party, family, bride and groom, before the ceremony, but there will be many candids and shots of details (flowers, rings, decor, dress, etc.).

I won't mention my photographer contenders out of privacy, but I may post the winner later.

As for my ideal package:

-I'd love at least a 7 hr coverage (for getting ready, posed family, etc, ceremony, and reception.
-DVD/CD of all prints to print out on our own or email should be included, not an add on
-A proof book would be nice
-2 photographers would be really nice, but this often times can add to the cost, particularly with the type of photographers I am after.
-Some prints would be nice, but to cut costs, I have no problem printing with a professional service on our own
-NO ALBUM. I'd love to make our own photo book, something like this (after researching pricing):






So, we'll see what happens. I've made about 5 appointments so far this and next week. But this may take a while to make a final decision. Luckily I have some time. It will be hard to choose though, if I wind up with 2-3 photogs with what I want (price and quality), because they are all so talented! We'll see!
