I'm looking for a TOG who does contemporary but posed pics....

When is your wedding? and what venue in hertfordshire?

My hubby is very comfy doing this, and covers all of the UK, and is well within your budget

Hi Nat,

My Hitched page also contains testimonials from Hitched users.

Hello

I pay to advertise on Hitched as a wedding photographer

I'm not a huge fan of posed images but think the example you have shown makes them a bit more fun. I would be more than happy to send you lots of images like this from weddings i have covered.

Please have a look at my website www.thisisinnovation.co.uk and get back to me if you would like me to send you any images.

Regards

Michael

Hi Nat,

I do a variety of shots, posed and natural. Some of the posed ones are where only you and other half know are posed but the rest of the guests do not.

I have been a HIB for about a year here. Please check out my website for more details. As always, there will be a discount for 'Hitched brides'.

Regards

Bob

I think you might be looking for directed shots, where the photographer sets up the shot and asks the group/couple to interact/do something and then captures their natural action/reactions?

I based in London, don't know if that would be based too far for you?

Louisa

Hi Nat. I am a Herts photographer and know most Countywide venues well in addition to many other suppliers in the county. Btw, if you are having a civil ceremony, I have been a long term torch bearer for Herts registrars who have been ahead of the rest of the country in their approach to the photography at weddings. My style is based on relaxed yet crafted images, often creating environments where natural things happen I blend this with naturally occurring elements of the day. My website is undergoing extensive regeneration although it should show some examples of what I do. I am based in Hoddesdon. Happy to have a no caveats talk with you with no selling pressure.

I would quite happily throw my hat in to the ring but i am based in Darlington, (family lives in essex)

Although i would say peter is very good and a closer choice,

For the style you are after its worth asking for the style of images you are after because us photographers tend to follow the latest trends, I was trained in a relaxed traditional but have had to show people contemporary shots as thats what people have wanted.

OOh...whereabouts Greenleaf? I am based on the Herts Essex border so consider myself dual "nationality" IYSWIM!!!!!

And thanks for the comment?

Next time you are down, lets meet for a beer.....

The place is knows as hempstead which all of about 100 people will know about but its a surrounding village of saffron walden just south of cambridge and north of the lovely stansted airport

Not too close although not a million miles away......If you fancy a bit of networking when next down, do let me know.....

Apologies for diverting this thread......?

When im next down ill let you know... will be good to meet up or co shoot a wedding for training purposes...

Anyways... any more photographer recommendations to help nat2683....

Ah.... this old chestnut... posed and contemporary... how long... string... ?

*Cough*

Thank you for all your posts!

It makes my search much easier to know that I am looking for directed style shots, I was getting a bit overwhelmed before!

I will work my way through all the website recommendations, and then start to get in touch with phoographers.

I'd like to recommend eliza claire https://www.elizaclaire.com/ - she did my treasure the dress pics (i'm on her website...somewhere...!) and takes the most amazing pictures.

she also used to be a hitcher, and has done a few shoots for people on here - cannot recommend her highly enough.

eta - her website says london and kent but she recently moved to milton keynes and travels so i'm sure she'd cover your area.

You mean like THIS?

If so these are the very popular 'Informal Formals', posed, but at the same time natural and relaxed.

I'd recommend my tog, who's based in Hertfordshire http://www.greenlees-photography.com/blog/

I'm getting married in Hertfordshire and my photographer is also Hertfordshire based and has lots of similar work. I'm also getting a mixture of formal, 'informal formals' and reportage.

You can see his work here - www.photographybyriddell.co.uk

I'm paying about a thousand for his time for 8 hours and includding the CD and a beautiful, handmade storybook album.

I should have added, look at his wedding blog, there is lots of much more informal photos there -
