    Hey there, popped you the details of mine on your wall. Unfortunately £1000 is pretty average to be honest. When I first went to a wedding fayre and heard the prices I was shocked myself but then you find some people pay a lot more than that.

    If you want to save money you don't have to get an album either, if you get the cd as a non copyright there's lots of websites you can design your own storybook album, some starting from £30 so that's an idea.

    We didn't have an album initially but asked for money from guests to spend on our honeymoon and had enough left over to upgrade our package which we were really pleased about. So that's another way of doing it.

    Good luck x

    haha if only you could do that :-)

    Its hard as there are some areas you can cut down on but you do want someone to capture really lovely pics for you too. I'm sure you'll find someone though and like i said start with the basic package you can always upgrade. You could also sign upto to some of these voucher sites like groupon too they have daily offers and some are discounted storybooks and canvases. Some of my mates took great pictures bless them, going to do an album using those too.

    I said the same, my dad works for canon and does a lot of photography but can hardly have him walking me down the aisle with a camera! He'll be able to cover the reception though

    Lol, I just thought of something, would it better for me, having a low budget lol, if i asked everyone whos comeing to the wedding to bring a camera if they have one to take pics and then use them for the day cus they can also go with thi pics that will be taken at the door of the reception venue which was another idea i had, or would that be, being silly cus none would be profecional :-/, they would just be pictures my guests had taken lol xx

    Its a nice idea but the photographer does have a good quality camera and they are planned shots with the location/background in mind. I love the ones done by my guests as they're quite fun and spontaneous snapshots, but the ones he took are stunning. You could regret not having them after as you can't go back and do it again. I am sure you can find someone professional with a basic budget you can work with. xx

    Id suggest going for a small amount of coverage just so you have some proffessional photos - this has come up a lot before - you dont want to look back and not have the photos you wanted as you dont have control over whats taken
    Another suggestion is to see if there are photography students at a local college - its a bit of a risk but can be good value!

    Yeah, thats true, it would be nice to have proffecional ones done, were just stuck as were on a budget for a reason, otherwise we couldnt get married you no and thats why it difficult, if anything goes over budget then something else has to go down in budget and vice versa. Im sure ill think of something, i hope :-/, im a litle worried that were not going to have everything sorted by the day cus some photographers are booked years in advance and we havnt even started with one yet :-( x

    You'll find someone, we got engaged and married within 10 months and got a photographer no problem. Was going to suggest colleges, lots of students there might be happy to get the experience or charge very little.

    What other bits do you need help with? I'm sure we'd be happy to help where we can. We made lots of bits ourselves to save money as we married within the year so didn't have long to save up. It can be fun, don't get stressed about it we're all here for you.

    Well venue is the most important and you have sorted that out :-) Next important of course is your dress! Then your colour and theme so you can look at bridesmaids outfits and co-ordinating your room.

    We found you do have a bit of a gap in the middle where it goes a bit quiet then you do quite a lot more towards the end.

    Other bits to consider:
    Best man/bridesmaids/usher thank you gifts
    Making table plan, place names
    Table favours if you want them
    Honeymoon?
    Your flowers/bridesmaids flowers/button holes
    Your hair/makeup
    Transport

    Hope that helps!

    If you havent found a photographer, I know a guy (he's in lanacshire but will travel, he's going to scotland for me) he will look at what you want and do you a good deal. He is a friend of mine and has been a photographer for 20 + years, I can recommend he is excellent. If you want his details please send me a message, its worth speaking to him if its not sorted. He works from home and so doesnt have the overheads of the large organisations.
