Photographer rec's Cheshire/Staffordshire area?

gemmaw, 30 September, 2008 at 12:02 Posted on Planning 0 13

Hi all,

As above really, we live in Cheshire but are getting married in Staffordshire so need a photographer from prob any where around these areas. The problem we have got is that we are on a REALLY tight budget for the photographer as we booked our dream wedding venue (before doing a budget for everything else) and are now having to try and find some photograhers to do something in the price range we are in.

We are looking at around £500 to have the photos taken etc - but would be happy doing our own album so really would just need the disk and copyright. we really like quite modern (repotage?) photos and none that are too formal.

If anyone has any reccomendations that would be great.

Many thanks in advance ?

    Hi Gem,

    We are having our photographs done by a guy called Andrew Davies and he also did my sisters wedding last year and did a great job. He does one package including album at £1200 but he also offers a disc only option and i think that was about £450 depending on how long you wanted him there - he is really fair and doesnt seem to only be in it to make money! I dont have a number for him but if you google his name it will come up

    He is based somewhere in Cheshire i think but will travel.

    Good luck hope you like his stuff

    Hi Gemmaw.......just spotted that you mentioned getting copyright to the images. Just to clarify this, it is unlikely that many photographers will give this(there are a few) although many will give you printing rights from the disk supplied.......which is seperate thing from copyright. If you do want copyright to the images, you will find your choice of phtographer quite limiting.

    If you are getting a disk, do ask the photographer what file sizes you will be getting. We have had accounts on here of the files being too small for any print larger than a 6x4.

    ps...its also worth saying the date of the wedding....

    My H2B is a wedding photographer, based in Warrington. I'm sure he could get a package sorted including an album within budget.

    If you're still looking for a photographer, email him at **************************@*******.**.** and He'll send you out some examples as his website is off at the moment as its getting new images from 2008 added.

    Hi Sean,

    Can I recommend you get yourself a proper website address - it will make you look a 100 times more professional than sending people to some anonymous link - if you want to PM me then I can give you some advice on a great hosting company who can buy you a website name and offer a great deal on hosting - also more than happy to give you any other advice to get your business underway!

    Good luck!

    Hi Gemma,

    We are getting married at caverswall as well!! With a church service at st peter's first. Not found anyone else getting married there as its such a new venue. When are you getting married there? We are July 4th 2009

    I'm so excited cos it's such a gorgeous venue, just want the time to fly now.

    We have gone with david moore who is one of the preferred suppliers, but he is on the pricey side. Lindsay might have some suggestions for other photographers though -might be worth asking?
