I need a wedding photographer/photojournalist for my Lake Las Vegas wedding?
I have a budget but I want the photos to be AMAZING. I have been researching a lot but I would prefer some advice from someone who has actually used someone that they just loved. Also maybe someone who has experience at Lake Las Vegas. Thank you!!
OK, I don’t personally know anything about Las Vegas, but I know where you can find out! Register with theknot.com, it is free, and go to the “Community” forum for that area, see what the brides there would recommend. That way you get a better concentration of people for a specific geographic area who are interested in the same thing. If you look, one of the first posts recommends a Todd, from Bentley and Wilson.

Maybe you can get recommendations from florists, vendors, and chapels. If they give you some business cards check out their website and what kind of work they do then set up an apponintment and get feedback from the last wedding the photographer did. You are the one in control of the wedding, you do not have to book a photographer just because you visited them.
Look here for very good photojournalists.

They have it sectioned by state.
Mind you, good is almost never cheap.
Steve Keegan does Vegas Weddings. He did our wedding and is generally well liked and pretty reasonable.

May I ask what your budget is?
