Beginner April 2012

Newbie from Kent. Hunting for a photographer!!!

Tilly4547, 21 April, 2011 at 09:21 Posted on Planning 0 16

Hi,

I'm a newbie and this is my first ever post! The first of many I am sure!!!!

We are getting married next April (the 7th) and as with many of you are on a tight budget that we are paying for ourselves. Can anyone recommend a cheap, but good, photographer that covers Maidstone? We both take hideous pictures but would like some permanent reminders of the day ?

    Hello,

    I'm from near Maidstone and getting married in 6 weeks.

    Our photographer is Terry Davey ( http://www.terencedavey.com/weddings.html)

    He;'s based in Surrey but knows Kent and is a really lovely person - makes unphotogenic me look half decent! I am actually on his website in the portraits section in a massive blue hat!

    I'd really rate him.

    We are in Kent and are using Eliza Claire (who I believe was also a HIB at some point?).

    Unfortunately, cheap and good don't often feature in the same sentence when it comes to photography! Most of the time you get what you pay for. Good togs often spend hours on post production editing etc, and it really shows. This is reflected in the amount that they charge. Make sure you look at complete wedding albums, rather than a portfolio of a togs best shots. Our photography budget increased a lot when we started looking, as good photos of our day is really important to us.

    We have got a lovely and really reasonably priced photographer (www.selinaphotography.com) - she did my friends wedding and i was so impressed that i am using her for ours too! The thing i really liked about her was that i bearly remember her being there at my friends wedding so there wasn't endless rounds of photos and she took lots of lovely natural ones of all the guests!

    Thank you for all your replies. I will have a look at the photographers you have all mentioned. Am not wanting to spend too much as I know how rubbish I come out in photo's and would be really peeved spending a massive amount and not ending up with many decent pictures!

    Charliebird7 - we are getting married at Oakwood House in Maidstone. Not sure if you know it or not

    Hi and welcome! We are using Ashley Young (not sure of his website but google him & you will find it). IMO he is very reasonably priced. We are going for the photo only package so that we can create our own album. He was recommended by a fellow hitcher too.

    Tilly, this is something I was really worried about but you'll be amazed how many of your photos you'll love from your wedding! Especially if you find a photography you have a good feel for.

    Oakwood House is lovely, I went to a wedding here a couple of years back - I liked the fact it's got the accommodation on site too! Hope your plans are going well! x

    We are using white light photography. They are based in faversham, but I was really impressed because she came to our house so we could view her work, and she had complete albums. very reasonable prices and she is going to do my boudoir shoot, which again she comes to your home to do it, portable studio or something!
