Having pictures that you can look at in the years that follow your wedding is just one of the things that you want to invest your money in
. But if youre on a constricted budget, then there are also options for you.
Things to consider
One of the main things to consider when it comes to photography is what you want from your pictures. Do you want pictures of your while family or mainly of the two of you? If it a larger wedding or is a more private celebration?
You and your soon-to-be spouse should sit down and list all of the pictures that you would like to have in your wedding albumthat is, poses for pictures. With this list, youll be able to see if you should invest in a professional or consider other options.
Where do you want your pictures taken? Some couples like to have outdoor shots, so they will need to find a photographer that does that as part of their services. The length of time you would like the photographer to be at the wedding will also factor into the price.
Look at photographer samples to see if your styles match. If they dont, the photographer may recommend someone else. They want you to have good pictures, even if its not with them.
When youre on a budget
If youre nervous about spending a lot of money on your photographer, but still want a lot of picturesyoure in luck. With the new and improved digital cameras, you have a better shot (no pun intended) to get great pictures.
Have a good friend (who isnt in the wedding party) volunteer to take the pictures. Since digital cameras show you what the picture looks like instantly, you can take as many as you need in order to get it just right. And the quality is just as good as many professional photographers.
