Sorry for bumping up but someone must live in staffordshire who can help?? thanks

Off ukbride site you mean??, iv looked at the photographers on here and there to expencive for us, theres no way i could afford them :-(, we are so limited, its ether we can pay in enstalments or have someone cheap xx

£1000 is a lot of money hun, we cant afford to pay that much for a photographer lol, thats a lot :-/ xx

I know, im going to keep looking, its just hard to keep to budget sometimes and we have a bidget on everything, photographer budget is £300, dunno how we going to do it lol xx

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

Exepted embbem, thank you :-).

Thats a good idea Dee, why is everything so expencive these days lol, the thing is i did a photography course so could do it myself but the thing is, im the one getting married so would be a bit weird having the bride with a camera, dont you think lol xx

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

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

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

I only booked mine yesterday.

What day of the week are you getting married on?

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.

xx

Loads lol but photographer is the main one i was worried about, i havent got anyones outfits, dresses, suits yet, i havnt even got my dress yet cus i just cant decide. All we have done is booked and payed for the day, we have sorted registry office out and reception venue, i have centre peaces to choose and buy, table clothes and chair covers to buy, we have loads to do lol. We already have invites ready, cant send them all till we have addresses tho. What else is there???, cant think lol xx

haha terri u cant have my photographer then lol same date

hehe excellent date best ever

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!

xx

Thanks Dee, ill look into all iv got and then ill create a new post with it all on and lists of what ive done and not done and hopefully i can get some help on how to get it all done by our day lol xx

There is a guy at my work who does photography for weddings. He's cheap and good (used to work at the sentinel till they he worked out he earns more working at the hospital and doing weddings on the side) I'll pop his web address on your wall.
