Wedding Photography for those on a tight budget


At Paul Saxby Photography we understand that not everybody can afford to pay the regular rates that normally apply to professional wedding photography packages. Even though these couples might not be able to stretch their budgets to afford a full package, these clients still appreciate good photography and know that good full time professional photographers do not come cheap.

We also understand that even though we have busy portrait studio as well as a busy wedding calender, even we can not necessarily fill every available date with clients that can afford to pay our regular charges so it does not make good business sense to turn away prospective clients just because their budget does not stretch to what others can afford.

Over the past couple of years we have devised a highly successful program especially designed to cater for prospective wedding photography clients that wish to use our services who normally could not afford to use us.  This program allows those that appreciate quality photography to book a fully qualified professional at an affordable price without the risk of paying a similar amount to unqualified, un-insured part-timer or amateur photographer who might not be able the provide the quality of service that they would like to receive from a professional. This also means that we can book more weddings over a typical season allowing us to keep the average price for a typical wedding package down for all of our clients.

As well as our regular wedding packages, we offer two high quality wedding packages that cater for those on a tighter budget. Please note that these packages come with some very strict terms and conditions that are non-negotiable. We have designed them to offer best value for our customer yet still make it a viable option for us make at least a little profit. Please do not insult us by trying to push for an even bigger discount.
