Photographer Recommendations - Massapequa/Old Bethpage Wedding

Girls - help! I'm getting married on September 3rd in Old Bethpage with a ceremony in Massapequa Park. My fiance wants two photographers to capture both bridal parties getting ready - and we're getting ready in two different towns, about 20 minutes apart. Every photographer that I've spoken to (albeit, friend-recommended) is quoting about $3k. That doesn't include albums, video, etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a well-priced photographer(s) in the area? I'm looking for more documentary/lifestyle shots.

Thanks in advance!
