 Hello fellow brides! I am getting married June 9th 2012 in a village near St Albans, Hertfordshire. I am having a church wedding and my colour scheme is ivory, black and yellow. Already picked my bridesmaid dresses and I know which wedding rings I like too. We have booked the church,reception venue and wedding decorator and florist so have a few bits done already we have a really small budget of around £3000 and we need to find a really affordable photographer and car hire as these are the only things left we haven't sorted. H2b auntie is paying for our cake and my dress is free as my mum makes designer wedding gowns for a living so I've been lucky there as the boutique she works at are also supplying me with shoes, veil and other accessories- tiara etc. If anyone can recommend a cheap photographer and car hire would befantastic!

Thank! :D xxxx

have you thought about looking on gumtree for a photographer or at the local artschool often people will do cheap jobs to build up there portfolio.

 @lollih hi and welcome to Final Stitch emoticon Sounds like you've got a lot organised already, I hope you can share some of the pics and tips of what you have already prepared, it's always lovely to see images of what everyone is talking about emoticon
About cheap car hire and photographer, it's worth searching our forum and the directory (list of companies) and I remember reading a post once where they suggested looking for new photographers in your area, who might even do it for free providing they can use your photos to help promote their work.
If a forum post doesn't exist already on photographers in hertf recommendations, you can always create a new one too. Happy planning xx

 @lollih welcome! are you getting married in st. Marks church?

Try looking on gumtree for photographers, you can get students for much cheaper, my friend at work did that and got someone amazing!

 @lollih welcome and congrats emoticon everyone here's lovely and so helpful (and the site itself is as addictive as facebook!)
if you're looking for a cheap photographer why not check out the amatuer sites (i know they look like its all for glamour modelling but I'm on a couple of them and have never done anyn of that kinda stuff!!!)
there's one i like called model mayhem, if you register (its free) you can put an advert up for a photographer, each has their own online portfolio for you to check out, or search photographers in your area and message the ones you like.
