Anyone know of any cheap, but decent photographers?
Looking at my budget, I'm having a hard time justfying paying $1,200 or more for a photographer. Yes, I want good pictures... but $1,200 worth of good pictures? I'm not so sure.
Two of my aunts and one of my uncles are incredibly talented professional/semi-professional photographers that I know will be clamoring to take lots of great shots during the day. One in particular actually credits me with giving her her start in photography (I was 6. It had something to do with a dept store, a giant hat, and me convincing her that she should put my picture in the local paper. It's a long story.)
My mother has suggested that I may not even need to hire a photog at all, but I don't want my aunts and uncle to feel OBLIGATED to take pictures and to treat my wedding day like a job. So essentially I want paid, professional back-up. I may not even need them for the whole wedding. I could have them take professional shots of the ceremony and some posed shots after that, but I may not need them for the reception.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
