Wedding Photographer required

Scotto · January 8, 2009

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

If they book you....Id like to be on board as your assistant. I promise to keep all the batteries charged and won't let the gear outta my sight!...or....I can bring a camera as well and shoot whatever I'm assigned....and promise....well....will at least try to behave.

Just 3? I always wanted to go to Europe too.

Scotto · January 8, 2009

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

Fish & chip? Yummi!!! But you need to promise, you won't serve the English breakfast sausage!!! Haha!!! (sorry, NOT a big fan of it, - and I was in Poland and definitely have the meat gene in me!)

Destination Weddings and A Passport too
I have done destination wedding work, have a passport and speak the language.

I have even had Toad in the Hole and bubble and squeek.

Well you are one up on me! (What in the world?)

TPBinKC · January 8, 2009

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

rofl

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

Bwahahahahahah. S'ok. I speak Brit (having spent over half my life in the UK, hence my inconsistent spelling and imperial vs metric usage)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_and_Squeak (which I personally can't STAND, but hey - to each his own!)

Hey, you're all invited

After all I am the Best-Man I can invite whom ever I want

sherijohnson · January 8, 2009

Scotto..... you are so "well-connected" here, you can have the finest in the world and then some. I can't wait to see how this turns out.:D

ChatKat · January 8, 2009

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

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?

I wouldn't go that far...

Maybe the wedding could be the next Dgrin Shootout/Workshop. Take 60 Wedding Photographers and do a couple weddings...

Add Bangers and Mash to the mix...

Shima · January 9, 2009

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! ^_^;

Greensquared · January 9, 2009

Bubble and squeak,sausage rolls, saveloys, chicken and mushroom pies, steak and kidney pudding...Oooo the memories! I'd come just for the food...

Swartzy · January 9, 2009

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)

Scotto · January 10, 2009

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

If you're near enough Manchester, may I highly recommend Shere Khan in Rusholme:eat?! ::drool::

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!!

I just had a client asked about a date in the end of 2010... I was like "I have one booking for 2010, I'm sure it's going to be open"

It wasn't.

Strange how life likes to pile things up all on the same few days.
