Wedding photographers / glasgow. Any reccomendations?

Buffman · 22 Sep 2019 at 15:05

As per title, im getting married in Glasgow on a sunday in july. Shes been looking for various photographers and generally they're after £1200 to £1600, is that the going rate?

I dont want to "cheap out" as such and im slightly nervous going for too cheap photographers as ive seen some terrible examples!

If anyone has any reccomendations in the area they're welcome. Ive had one from a friend that im interested in also.

That is the going rate for a lot of photographers that I know who does it professionally for base to middle pricing, it does go up to over £2k with albums.

Ah ok, was hoping you'd respond as i know you do it.

Guess ill have to lump up and personal reccomendations are good! Also potentially got another one recommended by the venue for £1300

Stuart Wood at 1500 Photography.

He did a cracking job of ours a couple of years ago. Very professional, organised and a genuinely nice bloke - really put everyone at ease. What swung it for us (other than seeing his work) was the fact that he was the only guy we spoke to who was more interested in the actual photos rather than trying to sell extra albums etc.

Thanks ill have a look.

And agreed raymond is a great photographer but not local to Glasgow so it's extra overhead i cant afford. Ill have to put up with heavy bokeh photos of his coffee/similar

. (think that's raymond or maybe another poster)

Turns out the person my mate recommended has got a lot busier in recent years.... Did his wedding for 400 2 years ago and now wants 1600 :eek:

. Still an open option, also the venues recommended photographers.

Just under 2 years on, one covid delay and I've had my wedding with Stuart! Thanks for your recommendation!

Yet to have all the photos through but he seemed great on the day, put everyone at ease and the few photos he's sent before edits have been great.
