Wedding Photography - Tips On How To Save Money

By Martina Ferrer


Wedding photographs set the stage for long time memories and very few brides wish to take the cheap route where this is concerned. Although we are hesitant to offer advice to try to save money on your wedding photos, with professional wedding photography prices skyrocketing, not all brides can find the money for such services.

These are a few suggestions for budget-minded brides who want to save on wedding photo expenses:

1. Find a member of the family or acquaintance who is a photographer. You are almost sure to find somebody who enjoys photography and has pretty good camera gear. See if you can find a relative who is a pretty good photographer, and request their assistance. You will find that folks are happy to assist with weddings, and you can conserve on wedding expenses by employing their help. If you do find someone, be sure you get together with them prior to the event talk about any specific shots that you want.

(2) Check with your local college or university for a photography student. They will love to have an opportunity to work an event and have something to put in their portfolio. Sure they are amateurs, but that means they will have a different view and will bring new creative ideas to give you some unique photos.

(3) Many people give guests disposable cameras as an option to getting photos of their event. Give each table a themed disposable camera and let your guests take the photographs. You will get a variety of shots, all from different angles; this way you can pick which ones you like best. Put one person in charge of collecting the cameras and taking them to be developed.

4.) If having a professional photographer is important to you, take a look around and get in touch with a lot of photographers. See what they have to offer after letting them know about your budget. You could be amazed with their reply. Limiting the amount of photos will also assist with your photography budget.
