vikpow Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Near Bridgend. Have seen a few photographers on the net but they're either fully booked or way too expensive ! ( trying to sick to a budget !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 sounds a bit daft but you don't know anyone in the Police do you? Our old Force Forensic photographer used to do a sideline as a wedding photographer (and no, he didn't draw white lines around the bride groom or guests before the shots!! ) He was SOOOOO much cheaper AND, instead of showing me 300 prints with "copy" stamped across them he gave me about 150, let me choose which I wanted doubles or multiples of then gave me the lot! So they might be worth a go, failing that what about trying the local 6th form college or somewhere where there are phtography courses, where they can learn their trade AND do you a budget deal? Good luck, weddings can be a licence to print money, but it IS possible t do it cheaply. Or you could nominate two or three guests with DECENT cameras (who will remain sober at least to start with!) and then leave disposable cameras on the tables for everyone to use during the reception thus cutting down the number of official shots you need BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 A friend of mine at work has a friend that wasn't an official photographer but trying to get in to it as an excellent amateur photographer. She is in Bridgend. I will ask my friend next week if you want me to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
