Photographer for under $1,000?

So...I'm paying for my wedding myself and I'm looking for affordable photography.  Having a DVD of the pictures is really important to us, so it'd be great if there was someone out there who did it for under 1k.  If not, we're thinking of just having a family member who does pictures as a hobby take the pictures at the wedding/reception, and then hiring someone else to do the engagement pictures and some wedding pictures with our attire on a few days before the wedding.

I've been checking out the photographers listed in the bridal magazines, but they're all over $1,000...

    have you gone to the bridal shows?  This is how I picked mine...found all that were in a reasonable price range and then went to the next bridal show, talked to them all and went from there.  Found out I didn't actually like the styles/people of some of them!  We actually are going with one not originally on our list (andrew jade...their packages start @ $1650), but if you want, I can email you my spreadsheet of photographers that includes pricing, # of photographers @ that price, what's included (DVDs, prints, slideshows, etc.).  I think I have 22 different photographers on my sheet. TK won't let me post a pdf on here

    Have you checked out craigslist? There are many photographers on there that are under $1000. My friend had hers done by someone on craigslist and her pics came out beautiful!

    Carrie Fay photography is just a little over $1,000. The Pros, Wedding Bug, and Kirk McGee are all under 1000.  I put the links below if you want to take a look!  I love a couple of the photographers from Kirk McGee and Carrie Fay and am trying to decide between the two of them myself!

    Wedding Bug seems like a pretty good price.  I haven't checked craigslist either, thanks, that's a good idea.

    C.Van Rensburg is $550... He is awesome!  you get the copyright to the DVD he gives you. He made us very comfortable when we took our E pics:)
