| Help in finding a Wedding Photographer
Fellow RS members, any one you have experience with getting lifestyles wedding photos done in vancouver? There are so many out there, and I'm a photo noob and every photographer says they can adapt to the style we want to shoot.
Any recommendations you guys have used personally?

^ i think it all depends on the "package" , because sometimes its all digital on a dvd, wheras sometimes they give you a number of prints and stuff.
i hope around 3,000
i dunno if thats going to be to cheap, but after getting rings , theres not too much left

Jeannie Ow <--- she's great with people, very bubbly personality - http://www.studiojeanie.com/
Alana Couch - http://www.alanacouch.com/index2.php
Gucio Photography <---- run by Anna & Kasia, they're fairly new, but they're good - http://www.guciophotography.com/main.php
Pete Brennan <---really nice guy I'm second shooting for him for a few weddings this year - http://www.oneearthphotography.com/

Brian Noppe - well established, one of the old guard in Vancouver - http://www.noppephoto.com/

Camille Fortin Bensler and Chadwick Bensler - http://www.jonetsuphotography.com/

The following two are high-end, but worth checking out.
Jana Vackova - Fucking brilliant photographer, works almost exclusively with film - she will even use a Holga! I originally did not include her in the list, as I think she occupies the higher end of the Vancouver market. My friend hired her and can't stop raving about her. My friend's wedding is featured in "Roll Two" on the website. - http://www.janavackovaphotography.com
Lori Miles - http://www.sweetpeaphotography.com/index.php

I think it's better for you to find the photographer whose style suits you instead of asking someone to adapt/adjust, as that would be un-natural. Everyone has their own style, and to try a style that is totally foreign to them will fail in the heat of the moment of a wedding shoot. They'll just fall back to their own shooting style.

Check him out at: chrislohphotography.com You will not be disappointed! | Sorry if you're going to follow up with something this huge, please provide an awesome win source. He's got two+ years under his belt, unless he's all buddy buddy with him.
Not judging by his photography skills cause he does a decent job, but not Prince Charles status uber amazing work when his packages only start at $1900. Prince Charles would lean quicker towards Chris+Lynn, but even they aren't his cup of tea. I'd say if someone had to do his wedding, I'd be Jonas Peterson (Australian Photographer)

Jeannie Ow was ok. We went to meet her after seeing her brothers shots. Jeff Ow. The demo she showed was like a copy of Jeff's. At times some of the shots were even the same. She did follow in her brother's footsteps in getting into photography. I hope she's gotten more comfortable with less imitation. I do agree that she has a great personality and definitely affordable but it just wasn't right for us.
Here's her brothers site: http://www.stu-di-o.com/nice/site.html | |

Since they shoot together on occasion, it would make sense that some shots overlap.

This was a few years ago back in early 2008. Mind you she's a great photographer but just didn't "fit" us at the time.
Yeah I realize they shot together but on some of the demos where she shot alone she used music/style and shots similar to Jeff's at the time. Things might have changed now as all photographers evolve.

Yeah, you just have to find the one that fits your needs. Hell, some photography student that just graduated from Langara might be "the one" for somebody, and if that's the case, then go for it. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. I wouldn't want clients to hire me if they weren't totally happy with my shooting style. I'd recommend other photographers - and I have.

I had Glenn Spence do my wedding, we were really happy with him. He had incredible attention to detail, and a huge amount of patience. He stayed the WHOLE night too.
Instead of the regular wedding album, he actually got printed books made, this way we could give copies to people who wanted them. Of course, he also included all pictures he took on 2 DVD's worth of high quality JPEGS. http://glenspencephotography.com/
