How much is everyone paying for......

We're paying £1800 for photographer and got a deal on video for £600 which should have been £1600 so i was VERY pleased!!!

Oooo excellent! How did you manage that!?

£1,750 for photos. Not having a video.

Luck i think. they guy was just really kind and did us an incredible deal. think the whole winter wedding aspect helped. we've been VERY lucky and blessed with amazing suppliers and it makes me sad to think that after the wedding they won't be in my life because some of them have begun to feel like friends.....

however there certainly are deals to be found/struck so shop around. if you go to wedding fairs many tog's and vog's do discounts for on the day bookings.....

Holy crap, if I spent that much on a photographer I'd have a heart attack lol! Mine is £395 for photographer and not having video. May also pay £100 or £200 on an album/photobook from him which is really nice but not sure yet.

Zip we won our all day photography all we have to do is pay for an album of we want to! Huge help to the wedding budget!

We are £800 for bridal prep to 2 hours after ceremony and they will come to reception and do a faux cake cutting to get pictures. We also get an album and a framed pic, photo website, cd with images and pre wedding shoot.

We're not having a VOG but paid £700 for bridal prep to 1 hour after 1st dance. We got quite a good deal but our TOG was really enthusiastic about shooting our venue!!

Good luck finding your TOG, just a suggestion, Daffodil Waves are incredible, if she wasnt so far out of our budget range I'd have snapped her up, plus shes a lovely person too!!

Wow! What company is that with?

Thats a very good deal! What company is that with?

Spending 1550 on our tog, not having a video done, couldn't bear listening to my voice

Daffodill waves is an option but like you, shes a bit out of our budget but if i cant find anyone as good as her for a cheaper price i will go with her. What company did you book your TOG with? You got a very good price x

I paid £1200 for my TOG for disc only (inc pre wedding shoot). That was two years ago - she charges £1400 for the same package now. (East Midlands area).

Debbi that is such a nice thing to say, thank you x

We've paid £600 for full day on disc, with a free engagement shoot

I'm usually pretty good at sussing out what the abbreviations mean, but some one help me out with a TOG? I've seen it pop up so often and have no idea what it means? its gonna be something really obvious and I know I'm going to have a "Doh!" moment when I hear it.

He is an independent photographer that I found in our local area (dorset/somerset). We get him from 13:00-20:30 and a CD and print. I didn't look for specific companies because I found these so expensive at the wedding fairs and things. Hope this helps.

MrsB, We're using a guy from up here, he's called S J Allison, his photos are good.

There's a list of abbreviations on the Welcome to wedding planning thread - https://www.hitched.co.uk/chat/forums/t/246443.aspx

Also - Nic (Daffodil Waves) is awesome.

Thank you Kharv... I will go and do my homework now

We're paying £800 for an hour or two before the ceremony through to just after the first dance - disc only.

Ours is £1000 each. Have you thought about potentially not having all the photos with a photographer package and using it as a wedding gift idea. We got our photographer to do us a deal (nearly 50% off) by cutting out the work envolved in making a photo album and only paying for half the prints in the package. He is doing a gift list for us to the cost of the photo album plus prints for guest to pay toward. We'll contribute the rest if its not met tho, gives us a little more time to save money etc.

£850 for all day (i got 2012 prices!) and no VOG, I don't like them. make me cringe. she charges £1100 nowadays

Ours should be £995 for a wedding and engagement shoot, with photos burned to disc afterwards. Because he's a friend, he's offered to do it for free! .

£645 for TOG all day disc only. He now charges £845 though.

Not having VOG

Seems you pay for what you get i think. Thing is with this if you pay someone a 'bargain' price you may well get some poor photos and it's one day you don't want this to happen!

1100 includes getting ready to after first dance, photos on disc, personal webpage galary and a medium size gloss album for bout 40 pics i beleive.

We are paying £350 for our photographer all day with photos on usb

We paid £2200 for TOG and our Vog was freebie from a friend.

£595 for TOG and we're getting 400+ images on disk (in two sizes) covering from grooms party arriving, through to second dance/evening guests arriving. £599 for VOG, covering same period - think we've got good deals, both have given us 2013 prices for a 2015 wedding

We are paying £695 for our package, that is all day (as she would have been at our wedding anyway) and photos on disc. Should have been £995 but as she is a friend she has done it slightly cheaper.
