NEEDED Affordable Wedding Photographer Philadelphia PA

I live and am getting married in the Philadelphia Area Saturday, July
25, 2005. Wedding and reception are in Bryn Athyn, PA.

We would like to have a digital photographer take 5-6 hours of photos
on our big day. We would prefer someone a bit more artistic and a bit
less traditional. I want all the digital images (preferably on a CD) so
that I can edit/create/print my own album.

Are there any recommendations?

Try asking on craigslist in the "gigs" section
(http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/), I'm pretty sure a couple wedding
shooters that monitor that. Unfortunately, I'll be in Maryland shooting
at a camp from the 22nd to the 31st, or I'd give you a bid.

At the cheapest, you're probably looking at $300 for a student or
hobbiest. Maybe $800 for a really good shooter with good equipment.
Most pros don't like doing "cd only" jobs, as they make their money from
prints and albums.

Good morning;

I agree that you may not find a full time professional who
would
do your photography & only get paid for a CD of all images ... unless the
price was high enough to offset the lost orders. I am a full time pro and
would think if you offered them an amount equal to an average order total
you might find someone. You can try going to www.ppaofpa.org which is
the web site for the state professional photography group or looking up the
website for the Guild of the Delaware Valley which is a smaller group in the
Philly area. Just a thought ... a lot of pros offer you lots of input into
how your
album would be set up and arranged as well as the type book, color, design
style,
and title. You would absolutely get the best possible quality allowing a pro
finish
the album ...especially if you were thinking about printing on an ink jet.
All of
my digital files are printed by the pro color lab. Good luck;

Craig

Craig & Jerry - Thanks for the info...
I will continue my hunt...

On another note:
Is anyone familiar with lulu.com? I was considering using my digital
photos to create pdf's and printing some coffee books. Has anyone
printed with them? What kind of quality can I expect?

I don't know about the quality, but with no minimum order, and no setup fee,
it can't cost anything to print a short book and see.
