Your wedding day can be the realisation of a long-held dream; you want everything to be just perfect - and why not - from your venue to your flowers, dress and makeup and everything else in between. But, for most people, even though is is a very special day you will still have a budget to work to. But when it comes to high-end professional services like as wedding photography, keeping focused on the budget can be hard. However, with a little bit of research, forward thinking and planning, and a vibrant dose of flexibility, you will be able to keep within budget for sure to ensure you have an affordable wedding while creating the memories you deserve.
Finding affordable bridal photography can be achieved in a number of specific ways. So read on.
Using good old word of mouth is the best place to start. Talk to your friends or work colleagues that have held wedding days similar in size and outline to what you are planning to determine what photographers worked successfully within their prepared budget target.
Drop by at your wedding venue and ask the management if they have a list of people that they know. This could save you lots of time plus hundred's of dollars.
Consider using a wedding planner. It could be the best budget choice you make for your wedding. They are professionals and know the best people to work with and how to keep on budget.
Sometimes cutting back in some areas and spending more in others will give you a better overall experience. At the end of the day people and yourself will remember how they felt more than if there were 5 lots of flowers instead of 3. If you have your heart jet-set on a special wedding photographer that works in a way you love, then compromise to get to the price that you need; perhaps have the photographer only shoot your ceremony and formal shots and then ask your guests to help take photographs throughout your reception to be collected into an album at a later date.
One really simple idea is to provide your wedding guests with cheap disposable cameras. This will add variety, fun and an unexpected flair to your entire day. Your wedding album will then become very unique indeed.
Another great and creative tip is to invite your guests to do part of the wedding preparations for you such as the flower display. Not only is this a great way to involve your friends you can ask them to not give bridal gifts but to do something else instead. After all many wedding gifts will often never be used so will stay in a cold cupboard. Instead your friends will likely be thrilled and delighted to be asked. This will enhance your wedding experience for everyone and save you money.
At the end of the day, inexpensive wedding photography is about creative thinking and flexibility, time and energy. Being willing to work outside the box and think of small and often creative ways to save money, eventually all those small steps will add up to big savings.
