That depended where you are, I'm not sure on photographer as I've asked a family member. What do you consider cheap for a dress? Wed2be have a lot under £600.. if not eBay is probably a good place to find a 2nd hand one.

bear in mind when you are paying for a photographer you are paying for a service someone who has trained/built up years expereince/has to use lots of normally expensive equipment. They are expensive for a reason-because they are quality. I'd be worried about a cheap photographer.

If you buy a second hand dress bear in mind the size of a wedding dress is on average 2 sizes bigger than your actual size, I would also recommend trying on dresses so you know what style suits you best, look out for wedding dresses selling dresses off the rack too you sometimes get a huge discount also some charity shops stock wedding dresses, be wary of ordering Chinese made ones from eBay or other sites I've heard so many horror stories. I'm having a low budget wedding and got a lovely dress from a wedding dress shop for £300 off the rack and my mother in law to be is a seamstress so doing all my alterations and customisations for free xx

A company called JJSHouse do dresses online. Only problem is they're in Hong King, so it could be risky

My dress was £170 bespoke from your bridal wear and my photographers were £450 for the 2 of them, all day with all photos on a disk (very good pics - one vision photography in South Wales)

You can buy wedding dress in charity shop, asos, debenhams, coast, wed2be under £500 or a preloved dress through Facebook or preloved website.
As for photographer you need to ask locals in your area but they aren't cheap if you want beautiful memories save on other things like stationary and table decs

There's lots of groups on fb where people sell their dresses and photographers advertise. My brothers photographer was cheap and took beautiful pics but my sister-in-law knew her so knew the pics would be good.

There are bridal shops that sell second hand dresses at 50% of the cost. There's one near me called bridal reloved. It's means you can try them on and check styles as you would in a boutique, but at a good price. Mine will be going to one of these shops so it can be reloved by someone else

There is a photographer doing a deal on Groupon at the moment for 249 plus elite bridal wear have some gorgeous dresses in a sale and if u buy it this month u will be entered into a draw to win the money back off the dress x

You'll have to contact your local photographers to find a good deal!
Dress wise, go to wed2b they're dresses are priced between £99 and £599!

Wedding shows always have discount dresses the wedding fair at excel last week had ones as cheap as £90, worth popping along to some

Where are you from?
Know there's a bridal shop in Cardiff can't remember what it's called but they sell second hand dresses up to 500£ mother of the bride and bridesmaid, shoes and accessories and all there profits goes to charitable causes. Maybe there is something like that near you?

another way to get lovely photos is to put instant cameras on tables - yes we nearly all have them on phones - but you never really get to see the pics..........the photos on the cameras will be natural unposed - sometimes the best ones

New dresses from places like eBay or online stores could be cheaper than second hand.

Lots of bridal shops have sales on display dresses so it's worth keeping an eye open

Have you tried a charity shop boutique in the Rowan tree, they have brand new dresses as well as second hand. I hope this suggestion is useful. Good Luck.

I'd be wary of cheap photographers. You get what you pay for
