We ask local photographer Carmel Ensor your questions

Q – We’re getting ready to book our photographer and were wondering how we can keep the price down without compromising on quality?

A – "Sticking to a budget is easily achievable without giving your right arm.

"Research is key! Don’t be afraid to ask plenty of questions and see what different suppliers offer. Does the photographer charge for extras that you’re not interested in such as albums? If you’re creative, consider purchasing a digital package and making your own album.

"Photographers will often offer lower rates at the weekdays or off-peak times. Keep an eye out for cheeky offers around the holiday season too! I always offer discounts for the new year and have seen other suppliers do the same around Christmas and Valentine’s Day.

"Visit weddings fairs as they often have offers galore!"
