Would you hire a photographer for a children's party?

[NellUK]

Hi all,

I'm not sure this is in the right location but I'm just doing a little market research for myself before I pursue something that there may be no demand for.

Would you hire a photographer to capture your children's parties and how much would you be willing (absolute maximum) to pay for an average length party (2 - 4 hours?)?

I have looked online and the only places that I have managed to find are in London and naturally charge London prices, plus they are professional whereas I am just a hobbyist looking for some pocket money...

Any help or suggestions are gratefully received.

Many thanks, Helen

yes im looking for someone to capture my grandson and freinds at his 4 birthday party for us in conglelton area

I was going to have have one at my daughters party. But with all the faff of needing permission I've not bothered. The few parents I've asked would be fine with it but they know me. The other parents that I don't I wouldn't know how to ask them. So I'm just going to have a shoot for my daughter at the party venue with a trial of blowing her candles out and with the characters I've got booked instead. Think that I'll get better pics for my money than of the actual party tbh

There is no way I'd hire a photographer for a children's party, sorry. So unnecessary.
