Wedding Photographer Suggestions?

Postby Laurie on Sun Oct 25, 2009 8:34 pm

My Fiancee and I are trying to decide on a Wedding Photographer for our Jan 2011 wedding in Sydney.
We have narrowed our list down to the following:

http://www.blumenthalphotography.com.au/
http://infinityphotography.com.au/home/
http://www.gmphotographics.com.au
http://www.catoandpade.com.au/site/index2.php
http://www.uberphotography.com.au/

If anyone has had experience with any of these photographers, I would appreciate your comments.

We are also open to other photographer suggestions.

Regards
Laurie

We used Michael Chetham photography and were extremely impressed with his photography and manner.

The results were spectacular - One of our photos was used in his brochure for a couple of years.

Highly recommended.
7D, 60D, 70-200mm f/4LIS, 17-50mm f/2.8, 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5, 50mm f/1.4, 100mm f/2.8 Macro, 580EX II

Congrats Laurie, While I haven't used any of these, Cato and Pade comes to mind as a good one. I can't remember why....

Because they are also forum members.

But my advice, lateral thinker that I am, is very simple. Don't do it!

Congratulations, btw. :)

Went with Cato and Pade for my wedding last year. Very happy with the results. Package was very competitively priced at the time. Not sure if Andrew Pade is still a part of the business though as he was to be the second photographer at my wedding but did not show so we had a somewhat inferior second photographer. That said, Gavin takes great shots and has some serious gear.
