I went to a wedding fair today. if i am honest i am more confused than i was before, i have found that all the photographers contradicted themselves and some was rude!! when we was also there we seen a lush wedding car but the person was very rude and tole me and my h2b that they were out of our price range just by looking at us, other half got angry and refused to continue looking around the fair.
Half of the photographers told us we need to hurry up and book someone as September is a busy month! i think this was bleeding rude and said we want to make sure we are happy with the one we chosen, upon us saying that a photographer laughed and said we cannot be fussy and to book him!
As some of you know i am looking for a photographer which isn't too expensive and it friendly,
Has anyone else had trouble when they have gone to fairs?
Thanks xx

I was really looking forward to the fair but it upset me, i came home and had a little cry :(

It was in the bath and west showground x

other half was, he walked straight to the car and refused to continue to look around, i rang and complained to the events organizer and got my money back! I am still angry/ upset now x

I think yours will go ok tomorrow, we are going to carry on looking at fairs but we are going to be more careful with what we say, I find wedding fairs are exciting and haven't been put off,
Hope you have a lovely day hun x

Thanks hun, we are still in shock with how rude they are, i thought they were ment to be promoting their buissness not turn it away

tbh thats why I avoid the whole "wedding fare scene" their rude, I wouldnt be able to hald back and they make planning your wedding day stressful. Stick to who you want and dont fall for any them over the top ones. I have seen a few photographers online who charge £500 max. Dont let them aholes put you off xx

I was going to that show but glad i didnt - I did however go to Bristol and there was a little wedding show in debenhams - they had a photographer there who had a v reasonable starting price - I'll try rack my brains and remember who it was!

I have never had that trouble although found a few people that arent that interested - I do find the photographers can be quite aggressive there too but we already have booked ours

Your lucky you didn't go Nicsquared, I think after looking at the photographers i know who i would like now, people are very rude or didn't look bothered, was disapointed with the fair 2bh, not much there, no wedding favours or table decorations x

You poor thing that's shocking!!! We went to a show at the belfry and spoke to 3 and they were all polite, you have to really like your photographer and gel with them as they are there all day and want them to bring out the best in your guests. A miserable so and so will not make people very smiley and if they are with you while you get ready you have to like them. It is an important decision you can't rush it.

Good for you complaining! No wonder you didn't want to go round any more.

Is the sweary program not working.. didnt think I would get away with saying that word lol oops!!

I have been to a lil wedding fair here in crawley yesterday again and actually it wasnt to bad found at least a lovely jewelry stand and will get bespoke jewelry them were really friendly but guessing if u do your own business and not working for someone else than u got to be careful what your saying and how u handle your costumers/ potential buyers... found also one of the dress-shops there which i'd been to back in may andthe lady had recognized me and we got talking again and found out the dress would be probably cheaper about nearly £300 than in the other shop and she knew exactly which dress I was on about and said yeah we got that... and that sounds good again as it makes me want to visit there shop again now :) only thing was its a bit out of my way but yeah why not :) got nothing to loose

awww thats awful =( .most wedding fairs ive been to have been fine one photograher was awful his cheapest price was £2300 and i was like wooo tad outta my price range and he was just like well your photos arnt going to be very nice then i am the best this is the best you will get and you have to pay for the best.
wedding fair i went to yesterday there was a little soap stall that did bath bomb and soap wedding favours and so on me and my friend took a fancy to the fruity lip balm and he was saying how natural all the ingrediants were and how the colour we see it all from the natural fruit juice. when we got home we read the back and it they are full of artificial colours! what a con.

H2b and I went to Milton keynes wedding fair yesterday - my first one not sure if i will be repeating the experience as although there some lovely cars there and some of the businesses were not pushy in your face, majority seem to have their noses so stuck up their own arse they wont attract any new clients, what i dont get is if they are so busy that they dont want any clients for a while, why the hell do they pay to be there!, one stall in particular was advertising their horse and carriage business, well the carriages were more entertaining, the two representatives were sat talking to each other even as we approached them, didnt bother acknowledging us or even smile our way, nothing not a dot, so me being me I just said obviously they dont want any trade, will take my money and time elsewhere - quick as a flash the guy got up and tried to sell me his sales pitch, I told him I wasnt interested - on the grounds that he and his colleague could not be bothered to get off their arses and make an effort with potential clients. Turned on my heels and left him and his cronie openmouthed. So snooty - if it wasnt for the general public ie their clientele these businesses would be screwed.
On a good note there were some very nice dresses - even if the models in them couldnt stand or walk in their heels. lol
