Anyone Wanting to share Photographer/Videographer Fees?

Aunje · August 3, 2012

I may be wrong, but I couldn't find a thread where Jamaica brides with weddings falling on consecutive dates could explore the possibility of sharing vendors. There are some whom we would love to use but due to budget constraints couldn't justify paying the travel costs. For instance, I fell in love with photography by nylaphotography and went as far as getting quotes etc but as they are mainly US based (I'm UK based btw) I couldn't afford to use them as the travel costs are around the $1000 mark! What do other brides think?? P.S - If by chance any other Jamaica brides (Rose Hall area in particular!) happen to also like this photographer and fancy exploring splitting fees then do let me know! I'm attempting to keep within the $1500 ball park..how successful I'll be remains to be seen lol!! You never know! X:D

I have heard other brides doing this in the past. I am using a Jamacain based photographer. Have you considered doing this?

I have heard (although not actually explored this myself) that some local (local to you) photgraphers will not charge you the fees for the photography if you pay their travel costs.
