Tips for Saving Money on Wedding Photography
Aug 2, 2009 Photography
Wedding photos make for lifetime memories and not many brides would like to skimp in this area. Even we feel reluctant to give out the advice to try to cut costs on your Wedding photos, but with professional Wedding photography rates soaring high, not all brides are able to afford these services. Here are some solutions for the cost-conscious bride on how to save money on your Wedding photos:
1. Look for a Photographer in your family or friends. There is bound to be someone who loves photography and has somewhat better equipment than we usually do. Try to locate any such relation who can take decent photos and ask him to help out. People are always willing to help out at weddings and you should use their services to cut back your Wedding costs. If you do find someone, make sure you talk to them beforehand and discuss any specific poses that you want.
2. Hire a Photography Student from a Local University. They will love to get a chance to photograph an event and add it to their portfolio. They will be amateurs but depend upon them to have fresh and creative ideas for some memorable photographs.
3. Using disposable cameras for the guests is also an option. Place themed disposable cameras on each table so your guests can take photos. You can get photos from different angles and choose whatever you like best. Keep one person in charge of gathering all the cameras and getting the photos developed.
4. If you have to have a professional photographer, look around and contact several photographers. Let them know about your budget and see what they can offer. You might be surprised with the response. Curtailing the number of photos will also help with your photo budget.
In case you go for one of the DIY options, make sure the cameras and films are taken care of so that you don’t lose all the irreplaceable photos. Or if you can, go in for digital disposable cameras so you don’t have to handle the films.
