importance of photos

[stevie c]

HI as some of you good people already know im getting married to my mahal in the phils in sept of this year then hopefully will be applying for her spouse visa well my question is this how important is it to have mant photos as evidence because when i was there with my mahal in feb of this year i had my camera stolen an expensive camera at that so therefore me & my mahal only have a small number of photos of us together other than that we have built up a very good evidence of relationship ie letters yahoo transcripts, phone reciepts, bank transfers, wetern unioin reciepts & all the other documents required we have the only big woory are the photos because some low life thief swiped my camere can anyone give me some advice on this

Make sure you get plenty of fotos from your wedding. Have multiple people snap away on your big day, and that should be the most significant part of ur photographic evidence, then when the time comes, just put in a "covering letter" to the visa people that your camera was stolen, that's why you don't have pre-wedding photos.

That should be fine.

[stevie c]

thank you james i will take your advice & get as many wedding photos as possible & will put a covering letter in with my mahals application

[James Hubbard]

you're welcome

and don't leave it to the last minute either, arrange as much beforehand regarding photos as you can ....

we hired a photographer, but because we booked at the last minute, we got the crappy one, coz the good professional one took another job, coz the mrs and i were dilly dallying lol!

[stevie c]

how much is roughly is a photographer there

[James Hubbard]

budget 5thou peso for a really good one

[stevie c]

thanks james how many pics do u get for that or is that just the price for the photographer dnt really have a clue on this sort of thing

[James Hubbard]

we got a dvd done and photos ripped from that.

so the photos were virtually unlimited

plus u get a dvd, but you'd need to pay more for hi quality
