My fiance and I are looking for an affordable wedding photographer with our wedding in late May of next year in Toccoa Georgia. I attached a picture to show what sort of style of photography we are looking for as a base reference (somewhat high contrast and not super bright).
We would only need the ceremony and the first half of the reception, so around ~4 hours of taking photos. This includes the photo session after the ceremony with the bridal party. We don't expect you to have a 2nd photography assistant, but if you do, we would consider paying extra per hour for their service as well.
We found several photographers for $1500 and above, but were looking to stay closer to $1000 (or best offer). We will of course pay additionally for the gas and 1 night stay (if needed) as well!
Besides the style and budget, we are looking for someone with good posing knowledge, easy going personality, and a portfolio to look through. My fiance and I are pretty dorky and chill, and I myself have done wedding videography and will also do photography as a hobby (so I know how much work it can be sometimes!). We will do our best to not put any pressure on you and would like to make it a fun experience for ya! No need to be full-time photographer as well, we would gladly hire anyone with the means of creating awesome photos!
Congratulations on your engagement! I would love to be given the opportunity to capture your special day and help preserve your memories. I have previously worked for several different newspapers and also photographed a few weddings. I will be the first to admit that I'm not a professional, however I will work with the both of you to capture your wedding in your own unique style. I do not live within 150 km of your wedding location, I live in Lakeland, Florida (about a 7 or 8 hour drive). However, I would not hesitate to travel for your event, at my own expense. Also available for rehearsal dinner photographs (included). I see that you are in Gainesville, if you wish we could meet for coffee or lunch to discuss the project beforehand.
You will retain all rights to the photographs once completed and will be given a thumb drive with all digital photos. If you would like edited prints mailed to you I can also arrange that. I have quoted a price for everything offered, however the price can be adjusted for things that you solely want.
Hello!
First thing first congratulations on your engagement! I wish you and yours a long fulling marriage.
Now I am definitely willing to negotiate the price, lowest is $850. Unless you aren’t pleased with the outcome but I doubt that!
This will be my first time doing a shoot for a wedding but I know I can handle it.
It will be just me I have a Nikon d3400 Camera! If it’s alright with you I’d like to have someone accompany me.
I’m currently located in Tallahassee Fl and I really would love to drive out to your wedding to capture your special day!!
I hope to hear from you soon! Have a great day!!
