  What do you mean by cheap? What's your budget? Have you tried looking on Craigslist? That's where all the cheaper DJs and photographer list their services. Just be careful.

  We dont know what "cheap" means as that is different for everyone. However, Justin at VenueAudio gave me the least expensive package deal when I was getting quotes.

  I agree with the second poster, depending on your definition of cheap, you can find just about anything on CraigsList.  But as she also said, you have to be very careful.  For those low prices, you're probably working with someone who isn't insured (which is prohibited by our venue) or someone without a back up plan or someone who isn't really in the business and simply may not show up for no reason.
  
  So bargains to be had but they come with some serous risk.  Given what we are spending on the rest of the day, it's just not worth saving a few dollars here and there on DJ, photography, the cake, etc.  IMO.

  Just buy a decent camera and give it to one of your guests to take pictures of your wedding. Nice camera = nice pictures, right?

  If you search a little bit, you'll find the Pros don't get good reviews.   You'll relive your wedding through photographs.....this is the one area I wouldn't go cheap with.  You get what you pay for.  And I would never consider hiring a photographer for one of the most important days of my life off of a craigslist ad.

  Don't know what you define as cheap but I saw that Colorblind Productions offers a pretty good combination package and has a do it yourself dj package that's really low (but you uprovide your own songs)
