Desperately seeking photographer!! North west area

BridetobeMrsS, 13 September, 2014 at 23:43 Posted on Planning 0 14

Hi all

with just over 10 months until our wedding (24/07/15) I am being asked daily, "how is the wedding planning going?" "Where are you up to with things?"

I'm feeling totally unorganised as all I have done so far is booked the church and venue and looked for dresses (I can't even choose one of those and I'm between two designs, damn my indecisiveness!). The one thing people keep telling me is that I need to pick and book a photographer sharpish!

I'm looking for a really great tog in the north west area, budget under £1k preferably! Can anyone please offer any recommendations? I'd love a really creative slightly different/quirky style...

many thanks in advance Smiley smile

    Not sure how far in the NW you are, but there is a fab tog called Tony Fanning (he's on FB) he lives in n.wales and has travelled to Manchester/Wirral I think to shoot some weddings. He did the photo's for a friends wedding and they were fab.

    We're in Manchester, and our tog is Isy Anderson: andersonjones.co.uk. Her prices start at 800, but we are going for the £1K package b/c I really want the bridal prep photos. She was also happy to do a bespoke package, if we wanted to save more costs. I chose her b/c i liked her photos, but also b/c she was so lovely, I could imagine having her there on the day (plus she's a friend of a friend).

    ETA: she's also fairly quirky - our mutual friend had her do his photos, and they went to abandoned sites in manchester (and all over the NQ) taking "industrial" photos and posing in front of grafitti.

    We're 2/7/15 so I know the feeling regards planning. You have done as much as me except I have booked our tog. We have gone with

    http://www.emmahillierphotography.com/

    however she is slightly out of your price range £1350 for all day photography and a pre-wedding shoot then albums are on top. However during my search I came across this guy,

    http://www.mybluewedding.co.uk/pricing-tables/

    who has packages within your price range, it may depend on where you are in the north west whether he would travel but worth a look as I loved his slightly quirky style. We met with Emma first as she had previously photographed a wedding at our venue and that was important to us. We loved her style and got on really well with her so that's why we booked her but we had a slightly higher budget.

    Another thing to suggest is simply googling wedding photographer and the name of your venue, then look at the photos that have been done there and email/speak to your favorites. I thought it would be a massive job and was stressing me out but fiance and I spent about 2 hour searching, made a few enquires and booked the first tog we met so could turn out easy.

    Good Luck xx

    Where abouts in the North West are you? I am currently free that date and I have a lot of family in Manchester area so covering around the greater manchester area wouldn't be an issue for me. Click on my link below and see if I meet your style requirements.

    Thanks

    Hello! I live in Leeds and cover weddings in the Manchester area regularly. I think you should look at portfolios to see whether your idea of quirky/different fits the photographers. You can view my portfolio on my website and there's plenty more on my Facebook page.

    I'm happy to have a chat and that may help you work out how to describe what you want and what to look for when you view a portfolio.

    We're within your budget and available on this date, so maybe we can help. We're not in Manchester area, but we don't mind travelling - just booked a wedding in Cyprus, so Manchester isn't really that far ?

    Have a look on our website and drop us a line if you're interested. www.annazofka.com

    Best,

    Anna & Andy

    We are getting married in liverpool and our photographer is called Joanne Kelly, her work is flawless and priced very well.

    She inlcudes a pre-shoot so you can get comfortable with having your photos taken and gives you a copy of the photo to use as a signing board.
