I want to say thanks to everyone for their awesome compliments on my boudoir photos. A lot of you were wondering how to find boudoir photographers in your area and, after Lynn Michelle read my post, she had this awesome link to share with everyone.

A couple weeks ago I asked who you thought the top wedding photographers in the field were based on fame, name recognition, and editorial coverage (for a little project I’m working on).  I have a couple down, but I need to choose one more and need your help deciding!   Based on the aforementioned criteria and your responses, I’ve narrowed it down to these three - a little background info on…

We decided to go with Danny Weiss! Thank you to everyone who gave their input - I really appreciate it! At the end, it came down to two things:

1. Danny would cost about $1,000 more. But just the fact that we were still considering him made us realize that we liked him that much, that he was worth the extra money.

Argh…I’m kicking myself a little for not doing better research on our photographer. I hired his company after going to a bridal show and hating every photography booth except for his. I really liked the style of his photography and decided that it was worth the significant expense. However, since then I found two online reviews, both negative. I decided that we could avoid most…
