I know I should be focused on booking a venue but that has been overwhelming so I've been focused on photography lately. And you are right, Amy - I've thought from day 1 that I CANNOT cheap out on photography. Especially since I love pictures so much, I know how devestated I'd be if I had crappy ones!! So I've decided a good chunk of my budget WILL BE spent on photography. I've been researching a bunch lately and I think I'm settled on Whitney Lee Photography. I have not contacted her yet but I still need to choose my photographer from there: Whitney, Leah or Amanda (they're at 3 different price points) and they're ALL awesome! But if you have a moment, please take a look at their portfolios and let me know your opinions! They're super affordable for how great they are! Here are a couple of my favorites, one an engagement photo and the other of a wedding party.

The first picture taken by Leah, the second by Whitney Lee... Taken from their photo blog:
