But your expensive....

Being a photographer is expensive. I know that there are photographers that advertise their services for £200. Ill be honest, my camera bag cost me more than that.
Let me put it this way, I could buy a comb, a pair of scissors and a tin of hairspray, no pictures, I'm now a hairdresser. Would you let me do your hair on your wedding day, because I was cheaper than all the other hairdressers?
Probably not, but ask your self, why not?
Because you want someone who has professional experience, the training that they have had and their skill.
Well its just the same with your wedding photographer, its just that our kit, insurance, and the fact that we can only do one wedding a day - and sometimes we are there all day, that make us expensive.
Compare the price of hairdryers to cameras, and I don't mean one of those with a tiny lens, I mean a proper camera, that can withstand 35000+ images a year.
There are other photographers that are cheaper, but dont you deserve professional photographs on your big day?
