Photographer/DJ

I am in the early stages of photoger research, but I am looking into Nickel City and Saks because they seem reasonably priced and also Knight Studio because they did my sister's wedding, but is more pricey.
Does anyone have any experience with any of these? or any other recommendations?

I am also looking into CJ Sound for my DJ because my sister had them and they were great, but I just heard very negative feedback recently. Any insight?

For those of you who said you have already been married, or been in a relatives / close friends wedding, where did you go for your wedding pictures? I am trying to find a nice place to go, that isn't the same place that everyone of my friends & family have gone to. & there isn't anywhere that is particullary special to my Fiance & me, so it is sort of difficult to choose. The really tough part is thinking of the places.

Thanks!

My best friend used CJ Sound- and so am I for my wedding in August! My sister had Phenomenon Sound for her DJ in the spring and was very disappointed. They were unorganized and unprofessional! The DJ was just trying to hook up with the bridesmaids all night...even asked my niece for her phone number.

CJ Sounds staff are all great and always helpful everytime I call. A better reputation is important for my wedding.

Just did our wedding last week. We found them on this webpage. They were great. Friendly, and we couldn't believe our pictures were up online on Monday (two days after our wedding). They were very creative too! Good luck

Friendly, but you are going to wait, and wait and wait after your wedding. Literally almost a year before we got our pictures!!! Also, while the photos were beautiful, they did not get any of my husband or I with our friends. That was very weird. Tons of the cake and the rings, but not one with me and my friends, my sister and mother (beyond formal pics) so we have had to search and ask our friends for their pictures, since we have none with our guests. weird.

I'm using Nickel City for my wedding... I have only met Alyssa, but she is great and they are both very talented experienced photographers. I think they are the best choice- affordable and talented!

We used Jeff T. Barnes for our photographer at our wedding last summer. He did an amazing job, and was great to work with. He is not pushy or the in-your-face type of photographer; but would rather capture you naturally than go around posing you all evening! Compared to the other photography places we met with he had the best prices for everything you get by far. We absolutely love our photos!

We also used Audio Frequencies for our DJ. They played great music, using our few music selections as a guideline. We had a wide range of ages at our wedding but the dance floor was full the whole night. A year later people are still talking about how much they liked the DJ!

I am using Expressions for my photography, they're awesome! I love the work and the staff. Our engagement session was amazing!

For DJ we're using Phenomenon Sound DJs, we saw them last year at a wedding and the dance floor was packed all night long. I do second the CJ Sound remark, my sister had them at her wedding and the DJ lost her play list and than said, he was having a bad day!

Goodluck! Melissa

my sister used Glena Photography in Lockport, they are very professional and reasonable priced. Their website is www.glenaphotography.com check them out, they'll work with any one, I know they worked well for my sister and that's who I'm going toward

DO NOT USE CJ SOUND!!!!

Check out Wendy mitchell photography.

My sister had Lakeview Photography do her wedding last year. We all loved the pictures and we enjoyed Melissa our photographer. She was not at all pushy like some photographers are we just all had a good time. I am not sure about pricing I know they are exclusive wedding only photographers.
