Can't do it myself as I am going to be the best-man :clap

The bride and groom (close friends) are looking for a contemporary wedding photographer who is available Sept 2010 (i know its a while yet). If possible the final processed photographs would be supplied to the b&g on a DVD so we could organize an album.

The job would suit someone who is based central / north west UK

    Thanks for the replies folks..

    quick update, I have just come off the phone with the bride to be and flying someone from over seas is a consideration.

    Someone has already PM'ed me with a serious offer and the bride is currently doing the math on the cost of things.

    So, flying someone over is a possibility, if you are serious can you please PM me with an offer and I will pass on the details to the bride and groom tomorrow night and let them view the relevant websites.

    Hell, I'll even taken you to the local fish & chip shop and down the local pub rolleyes1.gif

    Has there ever been a wedding where the photographers outnumbered everyone else at the wedding? Might be a first!!!mwink.gifrofl

    Could I be 17th shooter? I would get great images of the photographers, (I would not be able to see anyone else).

    Well
    Have none of you had Toad in the Hole then? ne_nau.gif

    Actually, I do prefer Fish and Chips of course but the warm beer is another story.

    In anycase, I love England and I travel and shoot. Last year I did a wedding in Washington State because of a Dgrin thread. September should be a great time to be there. Only 21 months to plan it!

    I am guessing: like our version of a hole in one? bread, hole cut into it with an egg cooked in the hole? And is the squeak stuff just like hash or a skillet meal?

    That would be super cool if someone from dgrin flew over and photographed this.

    In my summers working at a handicapped children's camp back in high school I used to work with lots of people who had come from England. I still remember some of the slang.

    It's bloody exciting! ^_^;

    Was back there in the early 80's. Not only would the wedding be cool but think of all the landscapes....whoohooo! Shot in 1980 something with the AE-1 (not program) :D

    Thanks for the Private Messages regarding this..

    The b&g visited us last night and are now browsing over the the websites etc.

    So, if you fancy a free ticket to the UK to shoot this please send me over your website address and I will pass on the details. Also, if it is not shown on your site can you also PM me your phone number incase the bride would like to chat direct with you.

    Once again, thanks for the replies and believe me most of the UK food isin't that disgusting :D

    Well, if you're up there, remember the name - it is possibly my favorite curry house of all time (the karahis are particularly good).

    If you're near Stoke on Trent there's a great curry house there too (Balti house) but I can't remember its name (and I'm several years gone now so perhaps it's not even there any more). But it was fantastic! They did the BEST peshwari naan I've ever had anywhere :)

    (whoops - thread hijack - sorry! And now of course I'm wishing I was a wedding photographer so I could join in the bidding fun, but as A. N. Other Just Learning Amateur I am TOTALLY out of this game except as an interested bystander!! nod.gif)

    It wasn't.
