Can anyone suggest a decent Photographer

[968CSReading]

We are renewing our vows in August (excuse for a good party).

Can any suggest a decent but reasonably prices photographer?

[pernod]

Sure, I have a few I can recommend... Main thing is it depends on where it is and what you are after...

Is it just a shoot of the two of you, and some of the 'ceremony' or are you after more?

My s.i.l is a photographer, she used to work for a local newspaper untill she became a mum 3 yrs ago now 3 babies later and does quite a few weddings, if you're interested let me know and i'll pass on her phone no.

Right, finally on a PC so can give a real answer... :-)

There's a few options I can recommend depending on what you are after.

For a lower cost option I'd suggest contacting a local camera club and see if any 'advanced' members are interested:

• £1-2 Hundred quid goes a long way under this option.
• You'll be sure to get digital copies of the photos that you can do what you like with.
• Make sure you meet with the potentials and see some 'portfolio shots'.
• Lower the risk by finding 2 or 3 from the same club who are willing to shoot together (pretty common).
• I have a couple of photo clubs I can recommend if of interest.

Higher Cost Option - A pro:

• Lower risk, but you generally pay for it!
• 'Most' wont give digital copies so you'll have to go through them for the prints.
• I know a couple in the industry I can recommend but it will depend on where/when etc :-)

Drop me a PM if you need more info on these two options...

For the record, I do the odd wedding on the side so would normally offer... but, the challenge these days is I have is that I travel a lot for my Job so it's normally need to take leave to guarantee I'm at home - meaning I have to charge even for friends :-/. Let me know if you want to see any of my shots anyway :-)

• EDIT**

Actually, here's some of my photos (no wedding type ones on this site, that's on my to do list, but gives some idea... http://s2.co.nz/photography

Thanks chaps. Just two quick points:
1) My full wedding site is at www.blokewithacamera.co.uk - browse away. Bespoke quotations; no 'packages'.
2) Yes, I give you all images on disk and licence to make your own prints, copies and even upload - which usually saves people several hundred pounds.

Cheers!
