Finding a photographer

lou4gaz, 3 January, 2010 at 23:55 Posted on Planning 0 12

Can anyone recommend a budget we should set for a photographer? We're looking at a maximum of £14,000 for the entire wedding (and even that may be a stretch) but we are having difficulty pricing everything Smiley smile

Thanks

p.s. if any wedding photographers fancy doing a wedding in Ormskirk area in 2011, let me know Smiley smile

    Usually the wedding magazines say 10% of your overall budget should be allocated to your wedding photography, but with all things it depends what you want to spend. I am a London based photographer but I do travel!

    Hi lou, we spent approx 20% of our total budget on our photographer, we def pushed the boat out as it was very important to us. We used Nicola Grimshaw-Mitchell from www.ngmphotographic.co.uk, she's based north of Manchester so not too far from you?

    Hi Lou

    My fiance is a wedding photographer and we're based in Manchester to Ormskirk not too far. His website is www.evanpowellphotography.co.uk if you want to have a look at some of his work. He covers the day for £400 and provides all images edited on a CD and album should you want one.

    Good luck with the planning and enjoy it x

    Hi, Ive booked Samantha Whiting Photography whos based in Long Eaton on the Nottingham/Derby boarder.

    We booked Samantha on a recommendation from our friends that got married last year. Booked an appointment to meet her and she was lovely and her photos are great. Couldn’t be happier!

    Her website is www.samanthawhiting.co.uk although I found her on facebook where shes currently got a competition on to win your photography for free, but everyone that enters gets £100 off!
