help please!

okay, so dannon and i only have a few months to plan our wedding. we have our location {a big vacation home in the hills above malibu} and my dress. we're also almost done making our paper things ourselves. but the big thing we need to get done is find a photographer.

good photographers cost a fortune and book up way in advance. we aren't getting engagement photos so we would just need someone to hang out with us on the 18th and capture the magic. we also want someone who is comfortable with outdoor, active photos since the whole thing will be a picnic wedding with lawn games and dancing. oh and did i mention we have no money to put into this? so the cheaper the better.

so, do you know anyone in the l.a. area that you could recommend?

we'd sort of like to find someone who has real talent, but who is maybe a newbie photographer, possibly even still in school, that we could help out with their new career or portfolio. we're both still fairly new in our own careers so we hold a place in our hearts for others just starting out.

these photographers, and photo examples, are way out of our price range, but have the style we're going for {casual, artsy, non-traditional}:
shannon nicole smith
and
simply bloom photography


i figured my fellow bloggers would have a better sense of what photos look pretty and who would be a good choice, since so many bloggers are photographers. so thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!
