this may sound like a tacky idea but it worked for my cousin and i will be doing the same for my wedding in july. Call the local high school and speak with the film teacher on that campus, they pretty much made a little contest out the class that whoever received the highest grade in the class by the end of the year got a "paying" job on a wedding. it was awesome! they had 2 kids at the ceremony and reception and they put together this amazing video and were paid about $150 each (which when your 16-17 years old, thats big bucks! haha) and it was just as good as paying $1,500. check something like this out! A very close family freind of ours is a teacher at a local highschool and is in the process of getting us a couple kids to film my wedding. good luck!
