Finding Cheap Wedding Photographers

Sourcing cheap wedding photographers is a must if you don’t want to pay up the £1,500 that many of the professional ‘wedding’ photographers charge for a package. It really can be quite scary when you start looking around at prices.

So, to make it easier, here’s a short run down of where you can find cheap photographers.

The cheapest and easiest option is to look close to home. Most of us know a budding photographer who’d only be too eager to help out. That coupled with the shots of collected from other friends and relatives’ digital cameras would probably suffice.

Another alternative is to look at students and recent graduates. They’re often willing to help out for next to nothing as they need to develop their portfolios. You will still have to pay them for their time, but it will be bargain. Best of all, you’ll end up with all the negatives – unlike professional photographs who keep them and then charge you a fortune for additional prints.

New photographers or those setting up business are often good choices as their prices will be lower. They’re also more likely to be receptive to your ideas as well as open to negotiating on price. With students, graduates and new photographers, but sure to brief them well so you get exactly what you want.

There are also listings sites for cheap wedding photographers and www.findaweddingphotographer.co.uk specifically have a budget section. Another option is to try www.craigslist.org. This is a listing service globally, but you can drill down to your locality. Finally, another listings site for small businesses and services which has lots of cheap photographers is www.gumtree.com.

Wherever you find your photographer, be sure to ask lots of questions, ask to see previous examples of their work and agree a price upfront.
