Since I don't know what area you're in, I really can't give any recommendations regarding photographers, but I found this on the BBB site http://www.bbb.org/alerts/article.asp?ID=683
Tips on Choosing a Wedding Photographer
Among the saddest complaints Better Business Bureaus receive concern wedding photographers who do not deliver what was promised. The vast majority of professional photographers will indeed provide unforgettable images of your special day. But you need to do some research beforehand.
The BBB offers the following suggestions to prospective brides and grooms:
* Ask for photographer recommendations from family, friends and co-workers.
* Check with the BBB for reports on the photographers you are considering.
* Schedule interviews with two or three to get a feel for the types of services they offer, the quality of their work and related fees.
* Ask the photographer if he/she is the one who will be photographing your wedding. If so, that should be stated in the contract. If not, request to meet personally with the photographer who will be shooting your wedding and review photos from several events before making a decision.
* The price should not be the only determining factor, but you should know what fees you will be charged for what services.
* Does the photographer work with an assistant? If so, is that included in the fee?
* Ask for references and talk to previous clients. A photographer who is reluctant to provide references is of questionable quality.
* Is the photo package fixed or customized? How many photos are included and what about reprints, enlargements and albums?
* What is the time frame for delivery of proofs and other products? Is there a Web site to view your images? Can you keep the proofs or negatives?
* What type and how many cameras will be used? Is color and black-white photography included?
* What is the payment schedule? Is a deposit required; if so, how much and by when?
* What types of photographs can you expect – formal, informal or spur-of-the-moment?
* Does the photographer know the policy of your church, synagogue or other institution; some have very specific rules regarding photography.
* Obtain a written contract that details every service to be provided and the name of the photographer who will shoot your event; the location, date and time length of all events; the type of package; a list of guaranteed prices for enlargements and any additional charges, like taxes or travel fees. The contract should also specify what happens if your photographer doesn’t show up, as well as the cancellation/refund policy.
Hope you find this helpful. Good luck!

Getting married is an amazing experience. It is a day filled with emotion, joy, happiness and sometimes a little sadness when a family member or friend who is no longer with us is not there to share our special day.
As professional wedding photographers we know how stressful arranging your wedding day can be. With so many photographers around, where do you start? What do you need to know when looking for a wedding photographer? With prices ranging from a few hundred pounds to many thousands, how do you know if they are right for you?
It is a simple fact of life that with the arrival of digital cameras, many people now call themselves a "photographer". Over recent years there has been an explosion of people offering their services as wedding photographers, many of who have never received any training, have no insurance, do not use professional equipment and do not have sufficient backups in place to cater for any eventuality.
Choosing A Photographer
As soon as you have decided on a date, have booked your wedding venue and received confirmation then book all other services required for your wedding day as quickly as possible. Leaving it to the last minute to book your wedding photographer is not a good idea.
Many Bride and Grooms start looking for their photographer the day they get engaged.

I attached a link to a specific photographer I know. His rates start at 1485 (rather than starting around 2000) and is very professional. He is willing to travel, and will probably work with you on pricing as well as seeing samples of his work!

It depends on your location. I found a very reasonable one in the Wisconsin area.
