Getting Great Wedding Photos for Less
The guy has finally popped the question and the big day is
almost here. Everything is in place except for hiring someone to
take the wedding photos. You want great wedding pictures, but
you don't have a lot of money. What can you do to save money and
still get great wedding photos? If you go too cheap on your wedding
photography it will be obvious. Keep in mind that this is
the day you have been waiting for your entire life, and you will
want to remember it forever. If you follow a few simple ideas
you can still get great wedding photos and save money.
The first thing is to get a professional wedding photographer.
There is only one chance to get these pictures right. Becky
Jenkins wanted to get the best Athens,
Georgia wedding photographer she could find, but her uncle
offered to do the pictures for free. He had been dabbling in
photography and seemed to take good pictures. When she finally
got the pictures back they were either too dark or over exposed.
Becky was devastated, but there was nothing she could do at that
point. You can cut corners in a lot of areas, but if you go
cheap on your photos you have to be very careful. You can find
professional wedding photographers with packages in every price
range - including yours.
A popular trick for getting good candid shots is to place
disposable cameras on each table. This is a fun way to get good
pictures for cheap, and to get pictures that the wedding
photographer would miss. The problem with disposable cameras at
weddings is that two or three dozen rolls of film are very
expensive to develop. Instead of putting them on the table,
maybe just hand them out to select people at the wedding.
Another way to save money is to be selective with what pictures
you want. Maybe you are fine with only a few professional
pictures being taken at your wedding reception. If you use the
disposable cameras as mentioned above you won't need as many
professional photographs and this can save you money. Decide
early what is most important to you and make sure the wedding
photographer gets only those pictures. Quality is better
than quantity.
There are so many ways to save money on your wedding and still
throw an event that everyone will remember forever. With a
little ingenuity you can save thousands and still have a wedding
that looks like a million bucks. Your wedding day is one of the
most important days of your life and when it comes down to it
the only thing that's important is that you are marrying the
person you love.
