My husband and I are renewing our vows this summer in July. We are having a small reception/tent in our backyard. There is no wedding party and I will have my own video camera being passed around in addition to disposable cameras on the tables to keep within a budget. We are just looking to have a photographer come to the church and take some nice photos of us and our kids. My budget for the photographer is very minimal so if anyone has any ideas or know of someone who is "in training", or any other suggestions would be great.
Sincerely,
N. P.
Thank you so much to all the women at Mamasource who gave me suggestions and referrals for a photographer for my upcoming "renewing our vows" reception! I received so many replys and have narrowed it down to about three. I will let you know how it goes! Thanks again for all your help! N. P
I know someone that takes wonderful photos and she just quit her job so she can start up her own photography business and stay home with her daughter more. Her is her email ____@____.com, her name is Stacie. Please feel free to drop her a note. She is in Goshen.

If this is Plymouth Ma, how about Nancy Green in Carver, MA or Jane McCarthy in Marion? They are excellent and reasonably priced!
I am a amateur photographer and have taken pictures for special events, modeling portfolio's, and outdoor photography pics and landscapes. I am not a professional, but have been told that I have a good eye for photography. I own a manual Nikon camera that I have had for ages and it has never let me down once. I also have been introduced into the digital world, and have a Nikon Digital camera that has been doing well in regards to shots. I would charge very little probably just the price of film, or the memory card if I was using my digital camera, and you can keep the memory chip to develop the film. As far as using film, I usually develop my film at Sam's club, which is really very reasonable and I get a CD along with the prints. I use Fuji film as it tends to be of good quality. If you want I can email you some of my pictures and you can decide whether you would like me to take pictures for you. I live in Warwick, RI but do not mind traveling.
I live in Southington & I'm more than halfway through the coursework involved in earning a Certificate in Photography from Tunxis. I shoot with a digital camera as well as with film (Idevelop professional black & white film myself). I have 2 portfolios of B&W work as well as digital color work (my 22 month old granddaughter). I'm willing to meet with you & discuss what you'd like, the date & time & see if we can come to an agreement.

Have you tried getting in touch with the local high school? They might just have the perfect "budding" photographer or know another parent in the school that would be able to do that for you. Also if by Plymouth you mean in NH there's also the local college. Maybe someone from the school newspaper? Don't be afraid to tell people your budget is tight. People really will try and help you out.

I have used Sheryl Widberg for family photos at my house, she is excellent. She came for about an hour and shot lots of random shots in addition to the posed ones. The kids and dog all responded well to her. Her website is www.sherylwidberg.com good luck
I would be more than happy to do this for you. I am not a professional but have been taking photos of family / friends events for years. I have a great camera and can do you a cd or album after and can also print some photos on site if you want that option (a friend did that as favors). Let me know where and when!
i was just married in august, a friends father (who has since became a friend) was in the beginning stages of becoming a photographer, and trying to build his portfolio, he did an absolutely beautiful job and was very caring and good with guests etc. His prices may have gone up since then, but it wouldnt hurt to check him out, his website is RipsPics.com, I also have tons of my wedding photos on my myspace, so if you are interested in checking them out, let me know!
Hello N.,
In case you need another suggestion, I have a friend who does excellent work as a photographer. He's from Reading, Massachusetts, but he's willing to travel wherever needed.
You can find out more information at www.redardimages.com
Good luck!

HI N., this is so sweet, my friend is a photographer, her website is www.nicolechaputphotography.com
At the end of the day, the food is gone, the musicians or DJ has left, you're done with the hall etc. The ONLY thing you have left are the photographs and the rings (when you get married for the first time). Hire a professional, not someone who claims they are a really good amateur, a professional. Someone who understands light, exposure, contrast and how to drop the background out. The cost of the disposable cameras and processing is wasted unless all your guests are professionals. You wouldn't go to your local high school and ask about a kid who takes plumbing in shop class. You wouldn't get your neighbor who is 'really handy' to rewire your house. Why would you trust an important day to anyone less than a professional? Yes, I am a professional photographer and am always amazed that this is where people want the 'deal'. Not on the food or decorations but on the one thing that will last.
Hi N.,
Congrats on renewing your vows, I always love to hear that. I know of a great photographer for you. He is actually my fiancee and he has been doing photography for about 6-7 years now. When I met him all of my Picture People and JC Penney visits stopped. He does weddings, sporting events, portraits, anything really. He does it part time and does have a few things booked in July but maybe he has your wedding date open. He will definitely work within your budget for what you're looking for. He cares most about the finished product...and that you're happy with it. This is his website address, you can go there and send him an inquiry about what you want and what your budget is, he will respond back to you. Good luck and again, congrats!

Hey,
I know of a perfect photographer. She has pictures she can show you of other weddings she has done, she is very reasonable because she herself is an entepreneur.
This is my first time responding on Mama source so I don't know what inf. is o.k to leave on here. So respond back and we will talk. You're going to be so excited! I think this is exactly what you're looking for.
I strongly suggest checking or posting on Craigslist. It's a great resource and will give you a wide range of "options"
Good luck and Congratulations!
A friend of mine does photography. She has a website (http://jmaznekphoto.com). She's done photos of my family a couple of times and they look fabulous! I have no idea what her prices are like, but know she's working on building a reputation.
I do it. I'm on the Cape. You can reach me at ____@____.com I worked with a wedding photographer for a while. I've done a few weddings on my own. I do all of my family's Christmas cards and my son's yearly pictures. Let me know.

My sister is a photographer. Call her and tell her S. referred you. Her web site is: naturalimagesnh.com
She will take care of you
Hi N.,
My very good friend Christina Brabazon does fantastic work and is reasonable. Her website www.studiocbychristina.com
Congratulations and Good luck.

I would recommend calling or emailing Hallmark Institute of Photography in Turners Falls,MA. The students will be graduating in June and many may be looking for images that they can use in their portfolio. There may be a student that lives close to you that would be more than willing. I graduated from Hallmark years ago and have had great luck with the people that I have hired from there to work for me...
Good luck,
M.
Debra Bell did ours and she is pretty reasonable and WICKED awesome! So professional and out of her way kind! She is amazing! her site is bellphotostudio.com I thik you should check her out!
Hi N.- I do have a great guy in Littleton, NH - inexpensive and really excellent. But I can't remember his name! Please email me privately and in the meantime I'll get you his name from the sister in law up there....
Hi N.
I was wondering if you ever found a photographer for your wedding? I am a portrait photographer, specializing mostly in Childrens and Maternity Portraits. I have, however, done a few weddings as well.
Here is a link to my work
Best of luck to you, if I do not hear from you!
J.
