Hi ladies - I'm looking for some honest, real life (IE - Mainer!) opinions for photography. FI and I don't have it in our budget to hire a photographer, and really, it's not super important to us. Friends have cameras; we figure we'll get a lot of candid shots that way. Buuut, I would like to have some formal photos with family, and I don't think I can ask random guests to help with that.
I found a deal 50/50 deal on Q97.9's website. $25 for $250 worth of photography. You get an hour shoot on location and a $100 photo credit. Here's the link if you're interested.

What do you think - should I purchase it and ask the photographer to come by the reception during cocktail hour to do the formals? Or maybe do a first look and ask the family that can make it come for photos? Or is this idea just tacky? TIA!!
