Capturing your wedding day on camera is not something you want to skimp on but affordable wedding photography prices can be high. To find the best, affordable, wedding photography for your special day you will want to shop around.
Be sure to take a look the photographer’s portfolio. A recent trend in wedding photos has been the angled picture with the cake, bride and groom and other photos snapped at unusual angles instead of the straight on shot. Though these photos may seem interesting ask yourself if this is something you will want to look at years from now or if you prefer more traditional snaps.
There are other ways to find affordable wedding photography. Ask the camera buffs in your family to bring along a camera to capture the special moments. Just make it clear when you want them taking photos.
Another cute idea to keep wedding photography prices low is to put disposable cameras on the table. Ask each guest or each table of guests to take photos during the reception. These can either be used as wedding favors for your guests or for your own personal wedding album. Be sure to have a designated camera collector to collect the cameras at the end of the reception to help the guest remember to turn in their cameras. You can pick up disposable cameras at discount stores or purchase special wedding ones from places like The Knot Wedding Shop.
Another option for affordable wedding photograhy prices is to call your local college’s photography department. Ask the professor if he can recommend a student to take wedding photos. Be sure to check out the student’s portfolio.
Craigslist is another source for affordable wedding photography. Many photographers looking to beef up their portfolio advertise on Craigslist for a free or nominal rate. Just be sure to check references and look over their photos.
