photographer in essex

Wow there's a lot of photographers to choose from out there -it's quite overwhelming!! Rather than trawl theough website after website any more I thought I would chuck a post on here and see which suppliers or hitchers respond!

So our budget is £500. We're getting married on a thursday in may 2014. We're not overly fussed about having a photo album at the end of it, just a disc and some nice edited pics. We're thinking the more pics on the disc the better (not a fan of the 200 pic limit for example) and the more time they're around the better, a day package would be amazing but understand on our budget it's asking a lot. The main thing is getting the best value for money but not compoimising on quality - we'd like a balance of number of pics/duration/reasonable price.

So any suppliers that think they fit the bill post your website here - i'll be honest, I've only really been comsidering any that have concrete prices on the website (not call me for a quote) there are so many out there I need clear cut pricing!

Or if any hitchers can recommend anyone that would be great!

I've shortlisted a few, if anyone has any comments about them let me know

- picture-wedding photography

- glimmer photography

- day and knight photography

- garry michael smith (or the photo wizard)

- freddie thompson

- dj-photogrpahy

- dave hadley

Thanks in advance!!! xxx

    Hi I'm looking for a photographer too, I had this one recommended www.blackgoldphotography.co.uk. I've looked and the prices start at £950, but I've heard on other forums that they maybe offer half price weddings in the next week or so. Not sure if this is true, but well worth keeping an eye out.

    Hi Nikki,

    Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. I'm a London-based photographer and I currently have total availability in May 2014. For your budget I can offer you my half-day package (£450) which covers the bridal preparations and ceremony plus bride/groom/group shots afterwards. This also includes all the editing and I will supply all the high res images (no limit) on a dvd so that you can print as many copies as you like. If you'd like to have a chat about your requirements please don't hesitate to get in touch at any time and we can meet face-to-face for a coffee if you like.

    You can see samples of my work on my Hitched profile, website: www.twentyninedesign.co.uk and Facebook business page: www.facebook.com/TwentyNineDesign

    Best wishes,

    Annie

    My prices are a little bit higher than your range, although I do offer discounts for midweek weddings and I can bring shedloads of experience and shedloads of happy couples as testament to what I offer. I am on the Essex/Herts border.....if you like the website, please do contact me through the contact page. I do not hard sell and am happy to talk about your photography requirements and also offer some other vendor advice in your area based on experience.

    I would look at quality over quantity personally. Would rather 200 exceptional images over 1000 mediocre ones. In the same vein i would consider half days over full days. Unfortunately for most of the year, the best light is in the early to late evening.
