Photographers in Essex

Horace, 8 March, 2013 at 14:12 Posted on Planning 0 20

Hello all

So I have the venue sorted (Fennes in Braintree) and next on the list to find is a photographer. I'm ideally looking for someone who can provide all images on a disc/flashdrive or similar and not necessarily one who provides a package including a fully produced album. I may be totally out of touch, but I was hoping to find someone who would charge around £1,200 or under for a full day of photograhy up until after the first dance. Does anyone have any recommendations please?

Thanks!

    Yay, congratulations. Great choice of venue!

    Most Photographers will travel these days so the list is endless. What type of style do you like?

    I travel all over and all my details are in my signature if you like my work. Would love to hear about your plans.

    With your budget you should be able to book with most great togs including the HIBs here. I would say think about your style first to narrow down your search. Do you want traditional posed or reportage style or a mix?

    I think we will probably want a mix of reportage and traditional group/family posed shots. Good to hear that our budget isn't unreasonable!

    Hi Horace. Reportage and Traditional are very opposite ends of the wedding photography spectrum. Fusion(not to be confused with a video/stills mix) or a relaxed approach with a modern blend of must haves with relaxed images added with the twist of magazine style creativity might be what you are after....

    Best wishes

    Peter

    You're budget is perfectly reasonable and I think you'll find someone really easily. Photography is such an important part of your day and one that many don't realise until after the day! I came across this little blog post that might help in your decision process. http://www.rocknrollbride.com/2013/02/a-different-view-finding-the-right-wedding-photographer/

    A venue I have photographed weddings at for a long time. There are some great internal areas of the hotel on the first floor.

    Oh wow, what a lovely looking venue, do you not like the photographers that come up for your venue then. Not sure what type of photographer you are looking for but I can see why you are having trouble finding one as they all look the same on google?

    This is what I loved about it, beautiful indoor and outdoor shots!! It reminds me of hogwarts a bit (which I love, we have a subtle harry potter theme!)

    Oh goodness I read that as "Pavone are down his pants". My mind is clearly in the gutter today.

    Thanks for the mention though, ha! ?

    We've booked day and knight photography based in Chelmsford, should be in your budget for what you're after (we booked two years ago for a bargain £500 but know they have gone up now as they've done so many more weddings) check out their facebook page!!

    WOW! Such a beautiful wedding venue! Dawn Hall Hotel is one of my favourite venues in Essex. This is a great place to get married and to photograph a wedding.

    I shot a wedding there last December and was spoilt for choice with such a wide range of fine features offered by the venue. You are very welcome to visit my blog:
