Reviews from Wedding Wire:

“I liked that I was able to meet the photographers and view their photos before our wedding. I chose a photographer that seemed to fit with what I was looking for as far as personality and shooting style. I gave my photographer some specific instructions and he followed them to the “T”.
Our pictures turned out beautiful!”
Jennifer and Will

“Scott Harding was a fantastic photographer to work with. He was very organized and kept everything moving. He showed up early to take pictures of the reception area and of my gown and shoes before I got dressed, and was there ready to take pictures of me and my bridesmaids when we got out of the limo. He had our pictures online for everyone to view within 4-5 days. Before I even had a chance to look at them I was receiving compliments on how nice all of the pictures turned out.
The Pros also has open events where you can meet all of the photographers, dj’s, and videographers. I would take advantage of this offer because in return we had $200 knocked off of our bill along with 100 free thank you cards including a wallet size picture of our choice to go in each one, and a free large matted picture of our choice.
Thank you Pros!!!”

Are Gray Line Photography
Rates:
Price range for packages: $2000-$3000+
Company Info:
Are Gray Line offers a variety of wedding photo packages starting a $2000 for the wedding coverage and starting at $3000 for the album packages. Their photography packages include free engagement photos and albums are offered as traditional matted albums or the more modern coffee table style. Payment for services is due upon request and the company offers an online payment option. The company was started by Erin and Fredrik Brauer, a married couple who met while studying photography in Boston. Although the company is based in Atlanta, they are willing to travel and will cover destination weddings as well. Eric and Fredrik also offer two couples per year a wedding gift of free photos. The package includes 6 hours of coverage and a high-resolution dvd of all the images.

Review from Wedding Wire:
“I had booked another photographer earlier in my planning, but due to changes in my tastes in photography, decided to go with someone else. I emailed Aregrayline, inquiring about their availability, and Erin was very sympathetic to my situation. I never felt like she was trying to give me a hard sell on her services, she seemed genuinely concerned about my situation (with only 2 months to go before the wedding). Come to find out, she and her family were planning an international trip to leave on that day! She delayed her original plans for a couple of days to shoot my wedding! Talk about a passion for your profession, or maybe I sounded desperate, but I’m thankful they did because it was the best vendor change I could have ever made!

Erin and her husband, Frederik, are super fun. They both have great senses of humor and shoot beautiful work. I always felt at ease and I am a pretty rigid person and not easy to photograph! She sent our images before the anticipated date and was super accommodating when I asked for a teeny change. She’s been nothing but the best and I highly recommend her!

Blue World Studios
Rates:
Price range for packages: $1500-$5200
Company Info:
Blue World Studios offers two sets of pricing, one for peak season where packages range from $3000-$5200. The second price range is from $1500-4200 for off peak wedding dates. Both starting rates are for the coverage only package, which includes two photographers, an engagement session, an online gallery, a cinema dvd, and a proofing dvd with high resolution images. A cinema dvd is sort of a cross between a video and a slideshow. The cinema dvd combines still shots with a few short clips of video of only the best parts of the wedding. Janet and EJ are both photographers who also run Blue World Studios. They also have a passion for wildlife and spend time doing wildlife rehabilitation. Janet is also a co-author of Hand Rearing Birds, a guide for veterinarians and wildlife rehabbers raising native and exotic birds.

Reviews from Wedding Wire:

“EJ and Janet were absolutely perfect! They were extremely professional while being a ton of fun to hang out with. Everyone talks about how amazing our wedding pictures are. They were never seen, but seemed to capture every moment. They flowed with the wedding instead of dictating the wedding like many traditional photographers. The biggest benefit that we liked was that they shot digital. We didn’t have to worry about a picture max that many film-based photographers have or deciding between color or black and white. They also gave us a dvd slide show from the wedding once the pictures were ready. Parents and guests could go on their website and order directly from them. We also greatly appreciated the digital “negatives” after one year. I have a few other friends that can’t even buy rights to the negatives, and EJ and Janet just gave them to us as part of the contract. If you have not looked them up yet, please do. You will not be disappointed.
Jennifer

Blue world studios was a dream come true for us. They took gorgeous pictures that I still look at all the time, over a year later! They were willing to work with us and did two free engagement sessions for us (the first one got rained out). The only negative experience with them is that they forgot about us so it took 6 months before we got our pictures, but it was well worth the wait!

Jen’s instincts are strong. She has a great eye for the subject’s “unaware” moments. Grab her now while it is still possible.
Dennis Delaney

Review from Asheville Oh So Handy:

Jen Lepkowski was our photographer for our October 2007 wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the beautiful artisitc way she captured our special day. Jen got all the photos we asked for and so much more – she stayed by my side the morning of the wedding and captured every moment from getting ready with my bridesmaids, to the teary moments before and during the ceremony, through the reception’s conclusion. Jen has a great eye, and we love every single picture that captured the day. Our friends and family have even commented on how stunning and unique our pictures were. We would highly reccomend Jen to any couple planning a wedding.

Review from Company Website:

“Hey Jamie!! I got the picture link and the CDs. Everything turned out awesome. It’s crazy to look at all those photos and it brings me right back to that day. I guess that’s what great photography is all about. I wish we had packed you and your camera in our suitcases on our honeymoon. Thank you so much for being so easy to work with. You really took some amazing photos that we will cherish forever. I can’t wait for the album that you’re making. Thanks again for EVERYTHING!!!!”
Brian Argo, St Simons Island, Georgia

“You were absolutely awesome, and I love the pictures even more every time I look at them! They were just what I wanted – memories of all the little things about the day. In the brief time I looked through them, I already saw pictures of moments that I hadn’t remember or was to busy to really focus on at the time.”
Catie O’Neal, Athens, Georgia

Reviews from Google:


Jamie was an awesome photographer! During our engagement shoot and also during our wedding ceremony/reception, Jamie was always on top of everything. He did not miss a beat. He was also always on time for everything, which was really important for us, considering the fact that we had our ceremony on a military base. Jamie was able to capture all of the memorable moments that we will forever cherish. All of the guests at our wedding commented on how well Jamie was able to perform his job without even “noticing” him so to speak. We also really loved the photos that Jamie took at our wedding because it is not so much of the “model posing”… more abstract/modern, which we really love! We would HIGHLY recommend Jamie to any of our family and friends. Thanks again for everything Jamie! ~DeAnna & James Scapperotti :0)‎

Review from City Search:


Beautiful Pictures – Horrible turnaround time
by kwwGa at Citysearch
I was thrilled with my wedding pictures taken by Wittmayer’’s team. However, I got married in 2004….I still don’t have my album. Seriously. Full disclosure: we took longer than we should have to return to the pictures…procrastinating and a 4 month stay overseas delayed us. But since delivering our choices, every step of the process has taken huge amounts of time, all the while I must sift through promises of “it’ll be ready soon” or “we’re just waiting for the layout”…and still I’m empty-handed. Very frustrating considering the high-quality of the art.
• Pros: Experience, beautifully composed shots, 2-person team captures every moment
• Cons: LONG delays with album delivery, customer service

Reviews from Wedding Wire:


I loved working with Shannon. We had a blast shooting a bridal portrait about a week before the wedding, and I loved every picture she took that day, as well as the day of the wedding. Shannon is easy to get along with, and dedicated to making sure the bride and groom get exactly the pictures they want. The hardest part was deciding which pictures to frame in the house!
Jaime

We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding! Shannon is so friendly and is so easy to work with! She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. I absolutely love every single photo taken. There is no way to pick a favorite! She has beautiful work and truly knows how to capture a moment like no other! I recommend her to everyone I know that is getting married! I can’t wait to get our album. I know it will be gorgeous!
