Hi!

I'm just starting to look for good wedding photographers and I realyl don't know where to start. What price is acceptable, what I should ask for, how far photographers are willing to travel? Do you have any advice please?

How much should I budget for wedding pics? Also, what would I have to pay if I decide to employ a wedding planner? In the early days of planning so still not sure what to do!

Hi

My partner is not a big fan of the camera and I'm worried that he's going to freeze up on our wedding photos. Do you have any advice of how to help prepare for that? Or is there any kind of shoot that we can go on to get him feeling a little more relaxed about it?

Hi James and Lisa,

I'm worried that with everything going on on the day I'll forget to get some important photos - is it OK to give my photographer a list of pictures to make sure they get? And are there any that people tend to forget that I should mention?

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m James I run my own business called James Ruane Photography. I’d probably describe my style as natural, fun and sometimes even a little bit quirky.

Most of my work is in the southeast and London and I photograph over 40 weddings per year, so I’ve got lots of ideas whether you want help you find the right photographer or have lots of burning questions about styles, what works well, pricing etc.

I hope you find this webchat useful! Now I guess its over to you!

James

Hi,

we're on a tight budget and I wondered how much you think we should allocate for a photographer? Prices seem to vary so much! I'm also a bit worried that we won't get all the shots we really want from the day. We want all the key moments captured but also some relaxed, informal pictures and I don't want to spend time out of my wedding day to check that the photographer is getting all of this. Help!

Dear shoesdowntheaisle,

James will be able to talk to you more specifically about your photography questions but in terms of budgets and what you should spend, a good rule of thumb is to allocate between 7-8% of your total budget towards photography (and videographer if required).

Hope this helps!

Lisa
