Florida based photojounalistic wedding photographer Susan Stripling: http://susanstripling.typepad.com/susan_stripling_photograp/
Gorgeous pics….and yes, out of my price range and zip code LOL
Oh wait, that was the first one on your list.
D-A da. :p
Check out Rosalind Weddings blog, she is Chicago based, and spectacular (and out of my price range)
we’re using Something in Blue in May! They actually just emailed to tell us that the newest entry in their blog was shot in our town - Hoboken.
So excited to be using them!
We’re using the Art of Light, and can’t say enough wonderful things about them.
They are based out of Iowa, but are becoming VERY popular in the destination weddings circles.
WE LOVE THEM!
Forgot to mention:
BONUS! Art of Light is one of the most inexpensive DW photographers out there, too! ![]()
oooo. susan stripling, jessica claire and something in blue are my favorite blogs too!!!
and i could not believe susan was not nominated for the bludomain photographer of the year award >:o
could you put the areas they are based in next to the blog? that way people can look them up if needed. =D
Southern California recommendation. There are already a number of great recommendations but I have a particular fondness for our photographer Nate & Jaclyn Kaiser with The Image Is Found. Our wedding was featured in their blog 11/15/06 (at least I think that is the date). They are wonderful, great eye, unobtrusive.
I love reading our photographer’s blog:
http://www.kristinspencer.com/blog/
She is based out of Rhode Island.
please have a look at our blog to see if it suits your list:
arisingimages.com/blog
thanks and have a great day!
We’d love to be on your list! From sunny So Cal.
These are great! Keep em coming, girls! I’ll post an updated list later…
(Btw, Sinead, I was looking for blogs, not main sites. A blog is like the photographer’s journal. It’s constantly updated with new material and the images come with great stories from the photog’s perspective. Please let me know if you have such a blog. Thanks)
I second Ray and Edwin from Apertura photography. Check out their blog at http://www.aperturaphoto.com/blog
My fiancee and I love to have them for our wedding, but they are out of our budget at the moment.
I strongly recommend Elizabeth Medina. She did an excellent job for our wedding. Because of our wedding will forever be remembered. She did a terrific web slideshow, which captured the whole night of our wedding. Checkout her blog at: http://www.elizabethmedina.com/blog
I don’t think my photographer has a blog but here is her website. http://www.julianewman.com. Her name is Julia Newman and she is a fantastic budget choice in NYC
Amy Squires. http://www.amysquires.com. She is in Orange County. I love her work
The greatest photographer out there.. and she is in Indianapolis, IN!
My photog rules.

And here’s another fave of mine:
http://www.julesbianchi.com/blog/
I’m really happy I stumbled on this site, it’s very inspiring to look at the work of some awesome photographers.
Duane
Wanted to add our wonderful photographer’s blog which is packed with wedding fun.
http://www.dariabishop.com/dariasday
Thanks for sharing…hours of fun!
New blog http://www.franklinphotographs.squarespace.com
We are just getting the hang of it.
this is a fun list! for couples and photographers too. i’d love to be added. i can’t wait to look at everyones amazing work!!!
Jennifer Skog is awesome!
Wow, what a great list! These photographers are amazing.
Here are a few of my favorite ones:
nyc: http://www.bluedaisyblog.blogspot.com
li: http://michaelcody.com/.com (no blog)
nj: http://www.zlatkobatistich.com (no blog)
I second Jules Bianchi!!
http://www.julesbianchi.com/blog
I check out her blog every day.
I have to add our photographer Janelle Lowrance in Dallas, TX - our engagement pictures came out so great, I can’t wait to see what she does for the bridals and wedding day! Here is her blog:
Brian Crane of Southern California is incredible!!!
I am using Henry Chan of http://www.henryshoots.com He is a fab photographer and his blog is very cool.
Well this is getting to be quite the list. Thanks for the drop, I only aspire to the insect kingdom!
thank you miss ant and wedding bee! i had a great meeting today with a bride and groom who found me through your ultimate wedding photography blog list ![]()
These are all wonderful photographers and I really don’t think you can go wrong with any of them!! Mrs. Ant really knows her stuff when it comes to great imagery!!
We’re using S1 photography! They also have a blog that I’m addicted to: http://www.S1blog.com
Bobbi, hands down. She will travel so don’t fret that she’s in Indy.
Outside of great photos, you’ll have a great time with someone that is more of a friend than a vendor. At a minimum, you’ll get a lovely blog addiction.
You can’t have her this weekend though - she’s mine!
Best to all!
Jamie
We would love the opportunity to be o the list:) http://www.studio563.com/austin/
I also love reading Beckers blog and by Bobbi both have awesome work!
Yes, some of these blogs are very good and the photograhpers ROCK. I know many of them personally, but oh, gosh! You can’t forget me! You just can’t!
I love to blog. Love to read all of the before mentioned blogs, and now that I’ve found yours, will be blogging yours too.
Go and see for yourself, and if you think it’s blogworthy, POST ME!!!!
[…] guess who’s on it? That’s right the super cool wedding planning site Wedding Bee has named my blog as one of their favorites. I want to thank Miss Ant for naming me as one of her favorite blogs and for creating this list of great blogs for couples and photographers alike to check out. I can’t believe the number of referrals I am getting from the Wedding Bee each day. And just a few weeks ago I booked a couple who found me on this list. Thank you Wedding Bee!!! […]
I cannot believe this list does not contain Sarah Anne Photography in Chicago! She is by far the best photographer I’ve ever seen!
You must check out her website. It’s adorable!
She photographed my wedding in January & did an unbelievable job!
whoops, forgot her website!

Here is our photog’s blog. She is awesome. The first set of pics in her blog are from my friends wedding !! She did an amazing job !
Just to add even more Blogs –
Love the Holland Photo Arts Blog - http://hollandphotoarts.com/blog/default.asp
And the Great Mike Mendelsohn - http://www.mattmendelsohn.net/
Mrs. Ant,
I think you’re missing Saint Louis, Missouri photographer. LOL
He’s also our photographer’s . His work is amazing!
You picked our photographers blog as one of your faves. I’m so thrilled! Feeling a bit like a rock star right now….okay that faded. I love the Wiebners!

http://kjimages.blogs.com/kevins_blog/
please have a look at my blog to see if it could be included in your list:www.kellysullivanphotography.com
This is an awesome post!!!! Photography was very important to me and my new hubby. I’m not sure if they were included on your list, but we went with The Image is Found based in Southern California. Check out- http://www.theblogisfound.com
The Kaisers are fun, down to earth, and do absolutely AMAZING work!!! They are worth every penny and then some.
Ooops… just saw them on the top list!!!!!!! Great choice!! ![]()
We loved checking out blogs before we got married. Our photographers in AZ: http://www.SloanPhotographers.wordpress.com were simply sweet and amazing. Check em out.
Oops! I meant to post my blog, not my website! Please consider my blog for your list! http://kellysullivanblog.blogspot.com
We’re using DrewB for our wedding in August and I read her blog everyday! She rocks! I can’t say enough good things about her!
http://www.drewbphotography.blogspot.com
My experience of working with Michelle Allen has been one to never forget. The profesionalism shown and the creativity exuded was more that I ever thought possible. Their commitment to their work is easily seen by the amazing quality in the pictures that were taken that day. I could never recommend any other photographer besides Michelle Allen. Just take a look at her work on her blog
http://www.xanga.com/MichelleAllen_Photography
I am addicted to update my own blog everyday of the week, and Now I am addicted to go through everyone’s blog on the list…

I’m trying to get my own wedding photography blog going in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I’m actually located on Lookout Mountain, Georgia, but I tell people Chattanooga, since it is easier to find on a map.

DO NOT HIRE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER! It has been more that two years since our wedding and (Craig Molway, listed above) has failed to provide us our wedding album and edited photos which we paid for in full and upfront. He will not respond to phone calls, mail or email. As a result, we attempted to take him to arbitration (as required in his contract); he did not show. We had to take him to court; he did not show up for our court date. Craig has not come through on his end of the contract and now has our default judgment against him. There are many other photographers to choose from, do not have the headache of this one!
Here is the lady who shot our wedding. Freaking Fabulous! Especially in such a rural and conservative part of the US. SHE ROCKS! http://www.auphoto.net
Wow, I’m surprised Liana is the only Atlanta, GA based photographer - and she does a lot of destination work. I guess I’ll throw my blog in the hat. Even though I’m based in Atlanta, I’ll cover all of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, well actually, I’ll travel anywhere.
Wanted to say that Just Married Photography is absolutely fabulous. Not only do they ta
