I'm a wedding photographer in downtown TO. My business partner and I are still booking some dates throughout the summer. PM me ASAP for portfolio/details and we'll go from there.

That guy demi2004 ---> ClickHere who posted a few dozen amazing pictures in that "post your best photo" thread also does weddings(I pm'd him earlier and I think my brother is going to book him for his wedding). You should definitely get some info.

Check out http://www.frugalbride.com for some vendors. They also have a Bulletin Board forum that's pretty helpful.

We went with these guys:

http://www.theartofweddings.com

The photographers were very good. I think it was $2000 or so, which included 2 photographers and 6 hours of time. They shot using film, and the negatives were ours to keep. Important if you are re-printing pictures later. This was back in 2004.

I used this guy http://www.photobywillie.com

He charged me $2000 cash and that was for one photographer and one videographer. My wedding was at 2:00pm and these guys were there taking pictures and video from 1:00pm until almost 11:00pm. We ended up with over 1300 pictures on a DVD and also got over 200 unmarked proofs that were printed and put in two nice albums. The video was edited down to a one hour DVD with titles and menu etc... and we also got all the raw video footage on Mini DV tapes.

The service was great, and I would definitely recommend him...check the portfolio on the website for examples of the kinds of pictures he takes. You'll also notice that he posts his prices right on his site (unlike most other wedding photographers). If you want to PM me, I'd be happy to refer you to him directly so that maybe you can get a better deal than what he's posted online. I'd also be happy to direct you to a website where you can view all my wedding pictures so that you can see 100% of his work instead of just "the best of the best" that are posted in his portfolio.

Better to get reviews from people that have actually used the photographer for their wedding, than people who haven't but may just be family friends and such. You'll get a better idea of their service.

This is the one I went with: www.jbsmithphotography.com. I'll let you know in September how they turn out

Reportage got some good reviews from people from photo.net

http://www.reportagephoto.com/cgi-bi.../Reportage.woa

And also a list of Wedding PJ's in Ontario

http://www.wpja.com/wedding-photogra...hotography.htm

I am still on a hunt myself for our wedding too. But we too are looking exclusively at PJ style too

www.lakephotography.ca is Stephanie Lake. She does weddings, but she's primarily a photojournalist, so if those are the photo types you want, she's the one. Cliff Spicer photography is another photojournalist...both work for my company very regularly (Canadian Press). Stephanie may be a bit more affordable, but they're both extremely good.

i guess an easy way to put it is... candid photography.
Think news guy.....
News guy sees a major incident d/t and then starts to take random pictures to document it.

Its hard to do photojournalism b/c its so random and candid.
