Is the best (value) photographer on Ebay?

I'm trying to compile a shortlist for my article (budget bride blog)

EBAY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER £396

Does anyone have other recommendations? :)

  • There are plenty of photographers who are lower priced on Facebook. But it's not all about price. I know I am biased but I'd argue that choosing the cheapest photographer is possibly the worst decision you can make.

    After all, once the dust has settled, the cake has been eaten, the champagne all drunk, your dress packed away. It's your photos that people will remember your wedding by and your album is what you will want to pull out in years to come to show your grandchildren.

    The last thing you want are photos that were shockingly bad but you managed to save a few quid on the photographer to spend on extra booze.

    I'm not saying a cheap photographer cannot be good but usually cheap photographers are cheap because they are either rubbish, just starting out or both. The trick is finding a good one that is starting out.

    Sorry if I sound a little cynical with my post but I'm slightly confused regarding your postings....are you actually looking for a photographer or are you trying to promote a particular package offered by a company?

    It seems to me that you've been regularly posting since the beginning of 2012 details of packages available from various sources asking for further recomendations usually concerning the photography element...and I wonder if the primary function for posting is not to gain recomendation but to promote a particular company/or package to which you may be associated.

    MSE sadly does not support the self promotion of your blog either

    I just looked at them you don't even no what photographer you'd be getting... how can you recommed something just based on price? £400 might be 'cheap' for a pro photographer but you could get a hell of alot cheaper (I bet many uni students would happily pick a camera up for the day at £50-£100 and tbh that would be a better suggestion then sending a random ebay link!)
    People don't know what they want until you show them.
