Can I suggest if you are on a buget that you get a video instead, as you can take about a million stills from it.

I charge £500 for a video.

By the way I am not available, just giving you advice. Although the picture quality of stills from video is very good it is not AS good as from a stills camera.

Some photographers want £1200 for a wedding.

yeah, i would suggest just finding a family member or friend with a video camera and taking stills from the days footage. if you make a film instead not only do you have a more accurate interpretation of the days events but like baron said you can take loads of still shots from it aswell. all you need is somebody with a steady hand.

however, if your adament that you want a photographer i can offer my services for about £250. im currently studying a BA in photojournalism so weddings arent realy my thing but i can take damn good pictures.

have a look at my website and contact me if you think im suitable.

Hi there, just wanted to say that video still and photography are two different things and should not be mixed, yes you can take still images from a video man but come on , you surely do not think that you can have better photos from a video man than from a professional photographer whose business is to take wedding photography, unless of course he is really bad at what he does, which i must admit some are .
You should know this sevenoaksman, do not skimp on photography, it is what you will keep at the end of the wedding and in ten years time.
Regards,
Nuno Silva.

tis true. a video flashes in and out of your head in a second but a photograph will stay with you forever.

I operate video camera and take still photograph.
I won't comment on which is better. It is such a typical question with open answers. Anyway, it is not clever to turn down the other professions.

For a wedding, I don't see anything wrong with still photo or moving video. Of course the best is to have both. If budget is a problem, then it is totally a decision making matter.
