Wedding Photographers?

[ominousspectre.livejournal.com]

I'm currently looking for a photographer who would be interested in shooting a wedding ceremony and about 10-12 posed shots post ceremony next July (07/07/12 to be exact). The reason I'm looking so early is because we're planning to move at the end of this month (to California) but are still having a Davis Square area wedding since both our families live locally. Preferably, we'd like to meet the photographer in person before we move.

We would probably also be open to an enthusiast with a good camera as we're only looking for about an hour and half of actual shooting time and we're not looking for anything super fancy for post aside from a copy of the raw images. Professionals are also welcome but we're aware that Saturdays in July are busy and that some might not be interested in shooting only for an hour and half when they could be shooting for 4 or 5 hours on a higher paying job. But, hey, maybe there's someone out there who'd like a lighter day.

Mara Brod is local to Davis Square and she shot the photos for our wedding. We were really happy with her work and her willingness to work with our requests (negatives, medium format, etc). If she's available, she's definitely worth the look. http://www.marabrod.com/

He doesn't have a great site, but I have gone to see Mr. Marfione in Somerville outside Union Sq (http://maps.google.com/maps/place?ie=UTF8&q=marfione+studio&fb=1&gl=us&hq=marfione+studio&hnear=0x89e377297bf5e165:0x7a907799d8f97b03,Somerville,+MA&cid=7341407383310268933&z=14) a couple of times. He has an easygoing attitude that made even this camera-shy gal comfortable. I'm sure he'd work with you to make you happy.

I highly recommend a guy named Frank, who's married to Highland Ave jeweler Jade Moran (http://jademoran.com/contact.html). I don't actually remember his last name (I know him as Grendel from SCUL, which he used to ride with ages ago, when it was not so dramatic and cliquey.), but you could talk to Jade and ask her if Frank is still doing freelance photography. He's one of the sweetest guys you'll ever meet, and really has a lot of passion for his work.

OK, found him. Frank Braman. He doesn't seem to offer any contact info to the public, at least not on the web that I can find, but again, you can talk to Jade to get in touch with him.

I also wanted a photographer who would just come and take a few pics and then leave before the reception. I had great luck with a photography student from Tufts. I don't think she's in the area any more, but that might be a good place to look :)

That's kind of what I'm looking for. It's just tough since summer vacation's started and I know from experience that a student's life makes it hard to know exactly what you'll be doing in a year (taking semesters off, studying abroad, transferring, etc)

If no one bites here, maybe I'll add "find student photographer" to my Maid of Honor's task list for the semester before the wedding.

I'm a member of Tufts' photojournalism club (Exposure - http://tuftsexposure.org/). I personally am not sure if I'd be comfortable shooting your wedding, and I don't know who's around this summer, but I can see if I can get an e-mail sent out to the e-list.

You could also try looking on www.snapknot.com -- a Boston startup for finding wedding photographers.

I'm a local/young photographer - recently started a photo blog. Only one of my wedding jobs has made it up, but if you'd like to see more photos, I can supply them).

There is a contact form on the "about" page that you can use if my work interests you.

Thanks!
