Wedding Cake & Photographer Suggestions

Berty

I'm looking for suggestions for both a Wedding Photographer and a Cake Person(along with the other myriad of things).

I've contacted Confetti Cakes on Facebook already. Her pictures look great. I'm just looking for others but I wouldn't be using the likes of Danes, Ivans or anybody like that. I'd like more of a local independent to make the cake.

Photographer suggestions would be good also as the prices I'm currently finding online or by e-mail from them are unbelievably high. We had budgeted for a wedding in Spain and even award winning photographers who would fly out for your wedding day were actually cheaper than the ones in Limerick. :eek: (one even wanted €150 extra for a CD where they would simply copy and paste the pictures onto it) :rolleyes:

And if you are a supplier reading this feel free to PM me if you prefer.

Three friends of mine do wedding photography, two are the Portlaoise and se area, but travel. If you pm a contact email, I'll pass it onto them for ya.

There's also Cormac Byrne in Dooradoyle. He does lovely work and can highly recommend him.

If you're on FB - they have wedding photos albums on their page.

Berty

I'll send on that PM.

I sent Cormac Byrne a Message already so we shall see what he comes back with but judging by his current work I cannot see much change from a few G's.

We used kevin Wallace in town, found him very good, no pressure or faffing! No idea of current prices though, sorry

Check out their blog section! Here's a little sample:


Dont have any local suggestions but I can recommend Cloudberry Cakes for you, they are based in Kerry and their cakes and service are simply out of this world:

Thank you all so far. I have sent off a string of e-mails to the people mentioned here and more so let's see what comes back.

Photographers are being very cagey with their pricing though and some will only give a price with a meeting in their studio.

Id recommend Darren Kirwan. He did a wedding recently that I attended and I saw some of the after shots. They were excellent. As for cost Ive no idea.

Berty

Thanks, waiting on Darren's reply.

Susan's Crafty Cakes do some great cakes and they are based in Limerick. I know she has contacts with photographers so she might be able to help you out with both.

Molly's cakes near Ballina, Co. Tipp, search for her Facebook page. Top notch cakes but never seen a wedding cake from her.

Angles photography on Henry street are great.

Sally Mills do fab cakes, not sure about price but their stuff is a crowd pleaser and can do really indiviual stuff.

They have a coffee shop in the milk market open all week, and I think they may have a display of wedding cakes and styles.

I'm getting married this year and I tried numerous photographers for price. I'm going with a guy called Paul Lehane from Cratloe Weddings. He was by far the most reasonably priced photographer. Here is his website http://www.cratloeweddings.ie/about.php

Miss Molly's Bakehouse is the only place to get your cake, just tell her what you want design/colours she has loads of photos on FB. They not only look good but taste divine !

If you are still shopping for a photographer try Frank Williams in Hospital, he did a friends wedding, very competetive on pricing and he did a great job. He's a real gent too.

Thanks,

I'll bear that in mind. My Google History shows I at least visited his page once recently. There are lots of photographers out there it seems and their approaches are as varied. I am meeting one tonight and two on Monday. I think if any of them were to be unsuitable(unlikely) then I would start my search again.

I know Damian very well, and I would recommend him too, we were in college together. His albums are just stunning from what he has shown me.

pm'd you BB! Best of luck with the preparations.

Used Fairyqueen for a family occasion a while back and found them excellent. If that doesn't work out, try these lads. They're in Arthurs Quay in Limerick, http://www.finethings.ie/about.html
