Can anyone in the UK offer some advice on how much postage you use to send a SASE, LOR and let's say one 8x10 photo to the US?
Once I get that sorted, I'll try to figure out how to get some UK postage.
Thanks in advance.

I have weighed an A4 sized envelope, which includes 3 x 12x8 photos and this comes in at around 110g in weight.
Sending 3x 12x8 photos in an envelope is going to cost around £4.50 ($7.50 estimated).
That being said, I would assume that a single 10x8 in an envelope should come in at around 20-30g but I would weigh it before sending, of course.
Your mail office should be able to confirm this for you.
I would research International Reply Coupons (IRC's) too or find out if Global Air Mail Stamps will work from US to UK as I know they work from UK to US.
