Shout out to all TOGS (somerset wedding)

Ok so after a meeting with our current choice of TOG and a pre-shoot we have decided he really really isn't for us. We didn't gel, and he is very uncomfortable shooting in relaxed reportage fashion. He is very much into staged shots and is quite frankly freaking out that I don't want him to set up a studio at the venue for all the people who will want their photo taken!!!

So, we have made the difficult decision to walk away from our deposit and hunt down a new TOG. Our date is 17th November this year in Somerset. I would be very grateful if any HIBs that are free/interested could comment below.

Thanks Smiley smile

    Sorry, I don't have much to add other than to say well done for doing this. You'll find someone who you will be excited to have at your wedding.

    Its good that you stood back and took a close look. As I have said dozens of times before, all togs are not the same!!!!!

    Happy hunting for a replacement......

    Brave but very sensible move if you're not happy. Count me in, please have a gander at the website to see if you like the sort of stuff I do. Check out the 'more info' section re style and approach and give me a buzz if you have any queries.

    Best wishes Smiley smile

    Thank you all so much! It was the wisdom that I have seen passed from you HIBs to previous brides in similar situations which gave me the confidence to cut and run.

    We approached a TOG who I had fallen in love with ages ago but was out of our price range and have hashed out a perfect deal.

    This is the real value of this forum Smiley smile
