I am looking for reasonable pricing wedding photography in Michigan?
Bride2Be asked:
I live in southeast Michigan and my wedding is 6 months away and I still do not have a photographer. Most photographers are over 1000 dollars.
Comment please!

Try college students studying to be photographers. Call your nearby colleges or put up flyers. But my advice otherwise is to just pay. I was married twice and both times skimped on the photos, and regretted it. Live and learn.
There is a girl named Stephanie Burdick who is reasonable. Here is her website - .
She is from Union City, Michigan.
Post an ad on Craigslist. I found my team that way and they are absoultely wonderful and do amazing work.
I’m getting all day coverage with two photographers, all the images on a CD and a proof book with them all, editing and touchups for every photograph and a few prints….all for 1k.
I still get responses from applicants some willing to do it as cheaply as a few hundred dollars.
Post it under “gigs” not “jobs” and then the event category.
That sounds like the going rate for a professional. Anything less than that (I’m afraid) would get you second-rate pictures.
I don’t totally agree with the answer of “anything less will get you second rate pictures”. There are a lot of great photographers who are just starting out that charge way less in order to get jobs to add to their portfolio. I for one am one of those people. I have done many weddings even though I am not a professional YET. I am finishing up my photography degree but do weddings rather reasonable for this very reason. I do photo journalistic photography and have an eye for the little details. Because I am trying to build up a clientele my prices are lower. That doesn’t mean my work is second rate!!!!
