Wedding Forum - Photographers-what wud u pay?????...

I dont live near you but you can get packages for under £1000. Originally our package was costing £495 but we are now only paying half of that as our photographer asked if we minded having his newly qualified photographer to help build up his portfolio. This price includes all the photos taken on the day from me getting ready to the start of the meal but the photos come on a disc so we will do our own album.

i am spending £900 but that is for a pre shoot as well because my tog is coming to the venue to get to know us and see what shots he can get beforehand.

You can get cheaper photographers that are just as good but we went for who we did based on reputation and the way he goes all out to ensure the bride and groom get exactly what they want on their special day - nothing is too much trouble

My photographer is costing £495, that includes: 2 photographers (1 male & 1 female), whatever start and end time we decide and all pics, copyright free on a disc. We are gonna get some prints via the photographer for another £150-£200 on top of price.
It is possible to get a good one, without paying the odds. Just means u have to do alot of research. I did and it has really paid off x

were getting videographer and photographer and it costing 1500 xx

I think the £1450 we spent was was worth every penny, even if we need a forklift truck to move the album.

have anyone in the midlands area found their photographer yet..... still looking..... to be honest have not yet spoken to any just lookes at sites.

OUr photographer's from Newcastle and she is amazing. We were looking for something different and she does these amazing stylised shots, really amazing. She also takes the 'normal' pics of the day too but her signature shots are worth the money alone. The package we went for is £1250 and includes a pre-wedding shoot and the album and she stays all day and as long as necessary on the night to get all the shots she needs for the 'story' of the day. Can't recommend her enough. If you want details LMK.

We are getting ours for free. Because we are on a very tight budget we put an ad on our local gumtree website for a photographer that won charge the earth. We received an email from a very nice photography student who is willing to do our wedding for free in return for using some of our pictures in her portfolio. Her and her friend will be doing it for us. She has shown us some of her work and we are going to meet up in person with her. As most of our guests will have cameras with them we feel that if things dont turn out well we will still have pictures of our pig day but judging by what we have seen we will have nice pictures of our big day. Why not look into a student who may be able to help you. xx

we're paying £1,200. the only ones we found for less were less experienced and provided less prints x

Lou - Risbys start at £500 xxx

Does anyone know a good cheapish photographer in the Manchester area?

Ours is costing 1400 for both photographs and Video package x

put the name on your profile page hun and direct everyone there xx

ours is costing £1650, but that includes video, 30 copies of the DVD and photos, a beautiful album and 100 thank you cards printed with a pic of our choice. Oh and it includes 2 photographers from 9am til 9pm.

my photographer was a professional but also a friend of mine so we just paid her £100, same as for our video he was a friend who does professional and he did it for £100 too was so chuffed x

hope you all find someone, try students they are more than willing to do it for cheap as they want to build up their portfolios

ask your friends some of them may have a hobbie in photography thats what im doing or if you ring around colleges and universitys students will do it for knock down prices but will still have the talents of any professional :) x

We are paying £300.... from 1.30pm to about 6pm, all photos on a dvd so we can print off our own. £110 to have them in an album. Since we booked her though her prices have gone up and the basic package we are having would now be £495! Glad I booked up early!

Thanks magpie, I looked on the website and they are really cheap! Do you know anyone who have used them? Most of the reviews are really hood but there are 2 bad ones! Bit scared as u can never get the day back.

i know 2 people who used them which is how i got to know them and their pictures were amazing and the most imnportant thing for them and for me is that we can arrange the albums afterwards how we want them exactly including any good pics which friends or family may take on the day or in the evening.it really does depend on what you want but from what ive seen there service is good but it is like you say a day you never get back so maybe a little more spent on photos and trim the budget elsewhere!! xx

I honestly don't know what photographers cost as we're having our car club photographer do our piccies. He's basically doing it for free but we need to pay for the film and processing of the pics.

we are getting married abroad and we pay 663 pounds for our photographer incl. covering 7 hours ,3 albums ,pre wedding photoshoot, and photo on cd/dvd . :)

we are paying £800
