photgrapher recommendation in Hampshire

When you say 'fairly cheap' - do you have a budget in mind? That might help with some recommendations.

Depends whereabouts in Hampshire you are (its a big county!) but if you're anywhere near Fordingbridge/Ringwood you could try Nickie Westlake. She's extremely reasonable and although we havent had our wedding yet I've seen some great stuff that she's done.

We are geeting married in South Hampshire, but i know a lot of photgraphers will travel quite large distances. We havent really decided on an exact budget for the photographer, under £1000 would be ideal, but its a really important part of the wedding to us so we may consider higher.

Sorry that didnt help did it!?

Our photographer, Rob, is based in Hampshire though he is a bit more than £1000 - he does do midweek and off season rates though if thats any help

HIs website is www.shootinghip.com

Check out his blog as well - if you scroll down to the 26th July, they are some of ours

Ooh me! My photographer was fab he is James McMillan at www.handinhandweddings.co.uk Lots of my pics on his homepage! Does a fab package and was a wonderful man. Happy to show you my pics if you like? His package is £850.

Looks like a great photogrpaher, but think hes a bit out of our price range!! thanks for the recommendation though ?

He looks fantastic and within budget! would be great to see a few of you pics if you dont mind.

Thanks!

Assume you can then scroll through?

My advice would be to contact him, saythat I recommended you as he may give you a better deal in some way. He'll suggest meeting up so he can show you his portfolio and I swear you'll be sold he's had some fab commissions!

Will do. Thanks so much for the pics. Your wedding looked amazing!

Oh and congratulations!

There's also www.murakamiphotography.com/ They're on the Dorest/Hampshire border afaik - Lisaloulou had beautiful photos from them for her wedding.

Thanks, had my first anniversary on monday!!! lol

We used Ross Young in Fareham. It was ages ago now, but he did us proud and I've been impressed with what he's done for other people more recently who we've recommended him to.

As prettywild mentioned we used www.murakamiphotography.co.uk but they are over budget I'm afraid.

I would second what bygeorge said. We met up with Ross Young's colleauge (can't seem to spell today!) . I much preferred Ross's work and would have wanted to insist on him being the photographer had we of booked. They have a fantastic sample storybook album (the proof might still be on the website).

The thing that put us off was that the service didn't seem very personal, more like "we've done this loads of times so we don't go to the venue even though we've never been there and are you are very concerned about the lighting". Obviously they didn't say that! Met Ross at a wedding fayre and he was a very nice chap and can imagine he'd be great to have there on the day, very relaxed etc.

Both Rob(shooting Hip) or Teri in that area would do you a good coverage. FWIW its really worth rethinking the relevance of the photography(or videography) as not an "on the day" cost as is the cake, the favours, the cars, the flowers and many others. After 25 years, the recorded elements of the day will recreate that day for you and show you loved ones that have since passed on although were there for you on that special day. All the other elements I mentioned will long be forgotten although they seem important before the day.

Thanks Peter, this is exactly how i feel about the photography, but unfortunately we are on a tight budget with a big family! We are doing lots of things oursleves...flowers cake etc, but still need a photographer to come in under £1000. ☹️

Another vote for Rob!!! He's one of my favourite photographers!

Hello! Whereabouts in Hants are you herbesa2 just out of interest? I'm near Portsmouth.

We're using https://www.alloccasionsphotography.co.uk/index.aspx who we saw at a wedding fayre. They offer cd only for £895 and also if you want an album I think this is just over £1000

Just give me a pm if you need help with anything else, whens the wedding?

Hi,

We are getting married on Hayling Island. We dont live there anymore but did for most of our lives!

Thanks for the recommendation

Herbesa did you contact James yet?

I emailed him via his site yesterday, but no reply yet. Ill give him a ring tomorrow if he hasnt got back to me.

He's very reliable via email. Only time I ever have to wait to hear back from him is when he's working away! Let me know what you think!

I live on Hayling!!!! Where are you getting wed and where are you holding the reception - wow what a small world it is x

Very small world! as hayling is a very small place!?

We are getting Married in St Peters Church, and the having the recption at the Newtown House Hotel (wasnt my ideal option! but they are doing up the hotel throughout as its starting to look really good) What about you?

Weird weird weird - I live 2 seconds away from newtown - hurrah you now have a wedding stalker <rocks back and forth in her chair menacingly> just kidding ? i love hayling only been here a year, moved here from london. Was very upset on Friday about the whole beached whale thing, ?

We are getting married at the Alexander Hotel in West Sussex, but not for ages, I wanted st peters church but H2B is a divorcee and he really didnt want a church so I let him win - its his one choice that he is allowed to make over the whole wedding planning process LOL

The newtown looks lovely although I have never been in, whats it like? x x x

I love Hayling too. Its a bit boring quiet when you are growing up there though. The newtown used to be a bit skanky (is that a word!)?, but some new people have taken over and they are totally refurbing the place so it looks really nice! My parents got Married in St Peters and my fiancee was baptised there so its a special church for us.

It was sad about the whale, but got hayling on the news! all my work colleagues were talking about it

I totally agree about it being wierd!! nice though! not sure about the stalker bit LOL!?

We used https://hampshireanddorsetweddings.com/ they are very cheap but also very laid back so bear that in mind, you do get the full cd of pictures tho and so you can make some lovely photobooks yourself too x

We are on the Sussex/Hampshire border.

He was excellent, and very reasonably priced for the quality of the images which he produced.
