Wrap up of my favorite wedding film photographer part 1

which I believe almost all, if not all, are shooting film (and some part digitals).. So with no order of preference:
1. Lane Dittoe - San Clemente, CA

While I have not dealt with Lane at all , i know for sure he shoots film and you can see the softness of his works. I first stumbled upon him because he was featured on style me pretty's e-magazine

2. Ja Tecson - Los Angeles, CA

Yes the picture above is from his real wedding. He does commercial/fashion shoot too , his website is pretty cool as well.

3. Tec Petaja - Nashville, Tennesse

Love his work.. i think he travels to CA a lot to for weddings..

4. Jose Villa - Santa Barbara, CA

Need I say more?

5. Elizabeth Messina - Santa Barbara, CA

Amazing work... Jose Villa's wedding photography is Elizabeth Messina...... Enough affirmation.. I went to a wedding where it was so awesome (personal, comfortable , intimate) and Elizabeth was her photographer.. amazing work OK.. the picture above is the wedding I went to..

6. Lisa Lefkowitz - Bay Area/SF, CA

Sigh.. look at the amazing film photography.. the softness, the color.. mind blowing

7. Ryan Ray Photography - Texas

I recently found Ryan's work through In The Now wedding planner in Santa Ana. He flew often to CA and his prices seems reasonable. Pretty sure he shoots film too :)

8. Braedon Flynn - Orange County, CA

soo bummed that he's not available for our wedding date... amazing work

Okay so that's it for now.. but believe me I still have moreeeee film wedding photographer to come..

New love: Lisa Lefkowitz Photography

and this peach and pale blue and white and green wedding

....

and she shoots film... loveee................. film.. I dont know why I love film.. I love the look of it, the color.. my eyes are getting trained to notice the difference between film and digital.. Loooovveee... I dont know how much her rate starts (Lisa L) but I read it's somewhere starting around $6K or $7.5K

Pictage: directory of photographer

I just found this website Pictage that will list you the price range and reviews of photographers. It's not an exhaustive list since not all photographers are in there yet. but i think it's pretty useful. I really like to get at least a price range/starting price of a vendor to make sure that I'm not wasting anyone's time. It also seems that from reading some blogs, some photography vendors might be willing to work with your budget depending if they think they have perfect fits with you, non wedding season, not a saturday etc etc.. Just something to bear in mind...

have you booked your photographer? Are you having difficulty with the many options out there?

Don't tell me you don't loveeee these pictures.. JAC shoot is a duo husband and wife photographer based in South Pasadena. They are Jamie and Chris. Chris shoots in film (yay!) and Jamie shoots in digital. While browsing for a wedding photographer, I found that I loooveeee... the look of film photography... and I'm also kinda in a budget... and can't afford the Elizabeth messina, Jose Villa so I went for JAC photography... Win Win...
