Photographers near Watford/Ruislip

RichardP, 2 September, 2010 at 21:27 Posted on Planning 0 8

Hi,

I seem to be having trouble finding photographers. We have gone through most of the ones found on google, but TBH, most of their websites are aweful and don't give us the confidence. Also most of the galleries show pictures of just the bride or groom and often look staged and not real, i'd expect to see some guests in some of the photos.

We have a fairly tight budget and only really want the original raw high res pictures on DVD for us to print etc.

Any help would be appreciated, recommentations and testimonials of photographers at your wedding in the Watford/Ruislip area would be great.

many thanks

Richard + Amber

    Regards

    I hear exactly what you are saying. I became really upset about this, most of the them just seem so amateur.

    However I found one website that blew me away, I've spoken the photographer and he seems great. I'm meeting him tomorrow, and fingers crossed I'll be booking him.

    He's based in Berkhamsted > http://www.photographybyriddell.co.uk/

    You need to see his wedding blog too, as thats what made me first of all realise he's a real professional photographer - http://www.photographybyriddell.co.uk/WeddingsBlog.htm

    Hi,

    We're using Mydas Touch photography based in Bushey. His work is very creative, and the albums are beautiful. We shopped around loads before booking and this was the best in our price range in the area.

    Thanks Mrs C.....I would pitch my services although do not offer RAW images as an option. I do High res corrected jpe images with reprint rights although that isn't what this couple are seeking.

    FWIW, IMHO, Top Notch and Nicole Griffin would be worth asking....if they offer this service.

    My own website became orphaned earlier this year with IE issues which meant I couldn't modify it at all?. The new basic one is now up (too much corporate work delayed the release). This will enlarge and evolve over the next few weeks to show more of what I do.

    Indeed this is true as an album looks far better VFM than a memory stick. That said, some clients do want this option.

    Hi Richard, I'm probably too late to help, but if you're still looking....

    Let trustedlocal.com know what you're after and local photographers who are free on that date and reckon they can provide the kind of thing you are after will respond with a quote, references and a link to their portfolio.

    I've had a quick check and we have more than 15 registered photographers local to WD1, so hopefully at least one of them will be perfect for you!

    All the best, let me know if I can help at all.

    Alex
