Wedding photographer needed - Taranaki

[RRM22]

Have been pricing up photographers for our wedding, and the range of prices is anywhere between a fortnight's wages and a month's wages, depending on how nuts we want to go http://nzhondas.com/images/smilies/v3/shock.png

In all cases the service offered is more than we really require, for a wedding that is going to be relatively modest. It seems to be standard that pro photographers expect to be with us full-time for the whole day, recording every step of the way in a sort of photojournalistic style.
Which is cool, except that we have friends & family who can do a good enough job of the more casual photos of us getting our dresses on, cutting the cake etc...

So... are there photographers around who can just swoop in for a couple of hours and do the standard official photos (Me & Her, our Mums & Dads, etc, outdoors in the park) done properly, for a price that is something in the order of three figures rather than something in the order of four figures?

If there are, are there any in the Naki?

(We don't expect to get something for nothing, but we are trying to control the costs of the whole bunfight as much as possible.... )

so your just looking for someone to do the formal shots for you? not really cover the wedding as such.

Yes that's correct.

Sorry, I may have said all that in a much more long-winded way than was necessary, I've never needed a photographer's services before!

Hopefully someone can help you with what you need :)

If the wedding is off season, it shouldn't be a problem getting a pro to do this, but if it is during wedding season, they will prefer to book a whole day wedding, than turn up for a couple of hours, as the chances of more work afterwards is very limited .

Would be happy to help if it is in Auckland and on a weekend. Naki means Taranaki right?
