TOG recommendations in Hampshire/Dorset?

Hi Kelly

Thought I would bump this for you in case someone can help. I'm quite a bit over your budget otherwise I would offer my services. You are not being unrealistic.

What venue have you chosen?

Hey there, I'm within your budget, feel free to check my work out from the link in my signature!

Get in touch with Glen of Geln Jevon photogrpahy. Based in Hythe, New Forest, but travels. Not sure of his non wedding prices, but I'm booking him for my day and just love his style. Tell him Kim Cotton sent you and his Mrs will know who I am ?. Don't knw if it will help, but might get you a few quid off lol

Thank you will have a look at the reccomendation.

Marianne I did email you but you said you weren't taking bookings for 2015 yet.

This is our venue....it's a 17th century house and is so beautiful with the most intricate carved ceilings and fireplaces s, want to do it justice ;-)

I'm over budget and I normally only ever do full days, however depending on the date I may possibly be able to offer partial coverage to reduce my pricing a little.

Website is in sig, let me know if my style is to your taste.

That is gorgeous. Are the grounds nice too? Bet they are! ?

I will have a think about who I know at that price. Would you rule out someone starting out?

I don't mind having a chat if you like my work but just wanted to be honest with you about my prices first x

Looks lovely, tbh if I was in your position right now, I'd start looking around the house for any unused or unimportant items to ebay so I could afford a photographer I really wanted.

Considering you don't have any pictures on display from your actual wedding, I wouldn't make that mistake again.

Thanks Rhys will have a look!

I don't mind someone starting out but don't want traditional photos, I like something a bit different and artistic, I'm probably asking to much. That's the problem when you love photography so much! I will be taking my camera and taking some shots myself too!

Heres some more photos of the inside although they really don't do it justice.

It does look like a beautiful venue. I had a Google too....

I totally agree and did consider ebaying the kids but didn't think I would get enough ;-)

What about their xbox? ?

Just kidding! ?

Not sure my husband would be happy with that! Hehe!

Rhys and Daffodil waves I will email you both later for details, thank you for your help! X

Oh hello! Yes I'm doing date reservations for now but not signing the bookings until later on this year

The trouble with a £500 budget is most at that price will be just starting out.

By 2015 they'll be charging a lot more. I wouldn't worry about a tog until a year before tbh.

That way you'll have more chance of finding someone to suit your funding.

Thank you Chris for the advice I think I will wait a while then or find a way of increasing my budget as it is an important part of the day to me and I think I am not going to find what I'm looking for on such a small budget! :-)
