I'm on a tight budget and looking for a dj, photo and videographer. Thanks in advance !

What is a tight budget?

My DJ was $900 for 5 hours, although I wouldn't really recommend him.

My photographer was $1000 for 6 hours. I think that's a steal, but her prices have gone up since then.

My videographer was $1500 for 6 hours. That's a steal for the quality of the work. I wanted something really cinematic, not just plain video. I'd recommend her.

You CAN fine photo/video/dj for cheaper. For DJs, I think you need to find someone who isn't part of a big company. There are independent DJs who can be pretty cheap. Same for photo/video... don't go for a big company. And reduce the "package"--less time, fewer extras. You don't need photo/video of your ENTIRE day, or even of the entire reception.

DJ $ 500 for 4 hours
Photo no more than $ 1,000.00
Video no more than $1,000.00 Still deciding on this is really needed.

Video can be really expensive, and it's not NECESSARY, but I really wanted it, especially since my mom couldn't come to my wedding. I'm so glad to have a video she can watch.

I know of a FANTASTIC photographer who can keep your budget down. She did my friend's wedding and we all loved the pictures.

Her packages start at $750 but I don't know if I should say this, she will work with you to get you what you need. I loved her!!! here's her website: http://captiveartphotography.com/home
