First Wedding Roadblock: Finding a Photographer

Things had been going so smoothly up to this point... 

Am I going to be able to find a nice reception site within budget? 
Yes.

Am I going to be able to find a nice officiant within budget? 
Yes. (More on that in a future blog...)

Am I going to be able to find a nice wedding dress within budget? 
Yes.

Am I going to be able to find a nice wedding cake within budget? 
Yes.

Now here's the kicker.

Am I going to be able to find a nice wedding photographer within budget?
Probably not. 

I've gone to A LOT of photography websites the past few days. Average starting price of wedding photo packages in southern California? $2,000.

Aaaaaarrrrrrggggg!!! That costs more than my reception!!!

I did manage to find one or two places that charge $100-$150 hourly for their wedding packages, which is perfect! Kinda what I was hoping to spend. But their photos look like something I could have taken. Some were not even entirely in focus. Nope. NOT gonna happen. 

I am far from giving up on my search, but I could really use some advice/recommendations right now.

Help me find the elusive inexpensive SoCal wedding photographer! They are a very rare breed!
