Stock photo help???

[BrideInCuffs21]

So does anyone know of a stock photo website that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and is reasonable. I have one picture I have found on a couple of the stock photos but I only want the one and not a month subscription. Does anyone know one to use????

I used istockphoto.com (http://www.istockphoto.com) for an orchid graphic that I am using for my wedding. A huge, high res image cost me $12 I think. No subscription needed. I also bought a graphic from there when designing my friend's grad party invites.

Start with the free sites first. If you can't find what you are looking for go to the paid sites :)

www.everystockphoto.com - search engine for free stock photos
www.sxc.hu - stock exchange is free

If you can't find what you want, let me know. DH has a number of paid sites he uses.

I am no expert but perhaps $249 per month is for unlimited downloads?

Does it have to be exactly that pic or something similar? I will ask DH to have a look around.

I realy wanted that certain pic becaus of the word love I wanted to try and photoshop it and make the word LOVE, red..... and then print it off for my invites...

Oh, well good luck finding that one then :grinhappy:

I just noticed it was a dictionary the ring was on and not a bible.

How are your photography skills? Want to try to recreate the photo, photshop in the heart shadow and highlight the word?

I would bet that that the photographer who submitted that photo to shutterstock, did not submit it elsewhere as well. They probably ask for exclusivity (sp?)?
