My wedding photographer is going to be out of the state for the next few months, so he is unavailable to take engagement pictures.

Does anybody have recommendations for local photographers? We'd like to have them taken at the Antique Rose Emporium sometime next month. We prefer the relaxed pictures as opposed to the super posed ones. Oh, and our budget is anything below $500.

Let me know who you recommend!

Yay! Congrats!

Texas_Aggie_02 did my wedding and I'm quite happy. Not a professional but he does good work.

We used Ryan Price

We take engagement pics now?
Congratulations, GunRange. Best wishes.

Apparently it's to go with the save the dates? I dunno, I'm not a good bride... So I'm getting pressure to start planning since we've been engaged for 7 months. Oops.

I've heard good things about Ryan Price... I'll reach out! Thank you!

Just stay away from Sykes, that dude ain't right.

I'm almost offended you didn't ask me. Talk to me tomorrow!

Try either Ryan Price or www.paintedpeaockphotography.com

Kathy Norwood at knorwoodportraiture.com. Not sure about pricing, but she takes some beautiful pictures.

Thomas Ross

I would highly recommend Clay Taylor (www.claytaylorpro.com)

This is the guy that used to work at Texags and is now at 12th Man productions. The dude has talent and recently started photography business on the side. Based on what we've seen and heard, we plan on using him for our family photos later this summer.

I actually took the engagement pictures for my sister-in-law and her fianc. I'd be willing to do it for $300, assuming it's in town. If you're interested, I can send you some of the pics of what I took so you can see the quality of work. Let me know and I can email you some of the photos. Obviously these are very important and something you will cherish forever. If you don't like my photos, you won't hurt my feelings. No pressure.

Congrats on the engagement by the way!

I have a friend who lives in College Station and takes GREAT pictures!
