which of these two do you think is a better photographer

trying to select a wedding photog and we've narrowed it down to these two, but cant decide between the two

one. select portfolio > favorites & weddings
two Select galleries > weddings

I feel the 2nd one is more dramatic and uses lighting better, but from what I can tell the first one is a nicer person overall and is giving us a really good deal.

edit: new one I found
three
 
I like number one.

That photographer captures the importance of the occasion and shows some spontaneity, while the other seems to offer nothing but 'uniqueness'.

IMO

I like Luke Walker. The second one over-dramatizes the photos; too many details, not enough faces. The ring and the flowers and the veil could belong to anyone. The faces of the people you care about are what you'll want to remember from your wedding, and in his photos nearly all of the people and poses are blurred.

Plus, his name is Luke Walker. If his middle name was "Sky", that would make it perfect.

Well, yeah. 😕

Go to the obvious corner obvious boy!

 
hmm...good question

#2 seems like his pics come out better or look better and seems more stylish, but like 80% of the photos are of stupid crap. why do i want to see a pic of someone's knee or of a flower on a suit/tux? he doesn't seem to capture many pics of the actual people. Maybe it's just the pics he chose for the gallery, but it makes me think he doesn't take many pics of the actual people, and isn't that what you want to see?

#1's pics don't seem to look as good but at least you can see the people in the photos and it's not just someone's knee.

I would want to see more of #2s wedding photos.

Also, what are the prices?

actually it's the abstract aspect of #2 that drew me in. You make a good point though. Although I want some of those abstract shots incorporated into our collection, maybe Drew (#2) will mostly take those types of photos since he seems to prefer that kind of composition. I can always ask Luke (#1) to throw in a few pics with more of a dramatic/artistic flare.

Drew is local and I've met him in person, and although he seemed very nice, there was a cocky undertone to him. Also he isnt budging in his price at all. He's charging significantly more than Luke ($1K+ more).
Luke I found online and he is pretty far from us. We're in central NJ, and he is in Albany, NY. I've only communicated with him over email so far and from what I can tell, he seems to value customer service more (more professional, diligent, and quick to reply back).

I'm going to guess around 4k.
Anyway... I choose #1. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Both seem very good at what they do.
 
Definitely #1.

#1 seems to capture the moments you care about in a wedding, while the other guy just shoots cliched artsy crap.

Discounts FTW! Choose Luke!
 
Personally I like #2 a lot more. I enjoy the artistic crap that's more abstract. Seems like stylitically #1's portfolio is pretty limited so theres not that many interesting things to look at.
