Urgently need cheap photographer in Wheatley (Oxford) area!

DISASTER!!!!!!!!

FREE photographer has called off from my friends wedding on 11/11/11 so need to get another booked ASAP.

Can anyone recommend a cheap photographer in the Wheatley/Abingdon/Sunningwell area? For cheap read about £100......

I know that's probably asking a bit much but we're only looking for the after church pics, no before or party pics etc and the wedding has been done on such a tight budget - with no money alloted for photographer as we had one for free - that there's hardly anything to spare :(

Really hope someone can help.

    Could you try local colleges and uni's for people on photography courses there?
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
  • Try posting on sites like gumtree. I have seen several adverts in my area (sorry nowhere near you), of photographers who are looking for work experience and offering to free/cheap photography.

    Good luck, I hope you find someone soon
  • Try http://www.clackphotography.co.uk/index.html

    They are pretty cheap and were recommended by someone else on here. They do tend to get booked up but might be able to recommend someone else in the area. They're based in Witney

    Thank you so much for that idea!! It worked out amazingly :)

    A photographer has contacted me offering to do the whole days pics for free! He's only just moved into doing wedding pics (we'll be his 3rd wedding) but the pics on his website are fantastic! It's publicity for him as well as he's obviously a newbie in a section of the industry that's very competitive. Again, thank you! Would never have thought of Gumtree :)
