Wanted Free Photographer and Videographer for Wedding at Clearwell Castle - Wedding Venue of the Year

Hi there Tom,

check e-mail; I sent you a message yesterday

Regards,

Ashley

Hi TJ,

Clearwell is fabulous, but beware of taking on a photographer with no / little experience who is willing to work for free. Wedding photography is like most things - you get what you pay for (usually!).

I always suggest to my couples that they should budget about 10% of the wedding costs for their photography, as a guideline. After the cakes been eaten and the guests have long gone, the one thing you will have to remember your special day is the photography, and do you really want that to be second rate?

If you are interested, I have a special offer running on my wedding packages until the end of September, and Clearwell Castle is within my area, so I'd be happy to discuss with Angela & James their options with my recommended packages.

Best wishes,

Simon.

Agree with Simon 100%

I wouldn't risk not paying for a quality photographer at such a venue

They are playing with fire on one of their most important days. Statistically the odds are against them getting decent pictures.. so it's likely that when they look back, they'l realise it wasn't worth saving a few bob.

At the original post!!!!!

Don't assume that good photographers are desperate for work at any cost simply because its an alright venue....If all their budget went on the venue, perhaps they should have been more logical about all of the vendor elements that make up their wedding day....what is being asked is a bit like going on a decent holiday with no spending money and still expecting to get the best out of the experience...........

That all said, I hope that they find an ok tog.(as I always want the best for couples)......although it is likely that the full dynamic of the day will not be best captured .....
