    Daughter is paying £900, for the photographer,

    he's not coming to the house, daughter doesn't want him,

    he will be taking photos, and after the wedding he will go to the park with daughter to take some more pics, then he's coming to the restaurant afterwards to take a few more pics.

    Daughter is having a traditional package, and the album is a traditional one, and has 36 photos in it.

    Plus a disc of all of the photos taken on the day.

    Something they want to capture they may take 10 shots to make sure they have it right.
    So 800 photos become 80, yeah?

    No, I'll try to make it simple. I get every single shot they take on a disc.

    It might be 600, it might be 1000 ~ I said 'around' 800 as that is the average.

    A pic of our hands or my bouquet might only take 1 or 2 shots. A family posed pic they might take 10 shots.

    Why are you picking at what I have said?

    It's obvious you haven't got a clue what you're talking about anyway.

  • My photographer said the same Shellsuit. He is going to take so many pics and then will take out all the ones where people are blinking etc. I was told between 600 and 1000 depending on how many are no good! He will also take pics of flowers, tables, the cake etc which will substantially bulk out the photos and certainly won't take that many shots to get them right.

    Try explaining that to quote :rolleyes::rotfl:

    Yep, there are various things when we actually stopped and though of, which we want pics of.

    Our photographers are taking us to Port Sunlight village near us to have some shots taken, so we're (me and OH) gonna have a wander through the gardens there, have a chat, see how fast we can drink a bottle of champagne while the photographers are snapping away lol!!

    This is gonna sound bad, but I love the pictures that are taken from behind the couple......do you know what I mean, I hope that didn't come out wrong :o:rotfl:

    I'm loathed to get drawn in to an argument here but the point I think Quote is making is that your photographer says you'll get around 800 shots, but in reality that includes all the chuff where people are blinking, picking their nose, the photographer missed the focus point etc. So it might not end up being 800 shots that you'll want to print.

    Quote is just having a dig, as usual.

    I know what you mean though.

    I will still get around 800 shots on the disc regardless of which ones are good, or not, or I want to get printed etc...

    Do what Math?

    I know he's having a dig, that's how he is and I can't believe you will sit and watch or read what he posts to some women on this board, knowing that it may upset them or has upset them. (Not that I'm bothered, I couldn't give a stuff)

    Have a heart.

    Both of you.
