Do you want to trust your wedding photography to a student? Students might be able to offer wedding photography cheaply or even sometimes for free. However photographing a wedding involves great skill and it will be silly to trust your wedding day to someone who is inexperienced, not unless your wedding photographs are not that important to you. Students may not also have the requied equipment to take photos in certain conditions, wedding photographers usually tend to have spare equipment as back up in case something goes wrong. Clearly you are better off with a professional Photographer that offers his services at great value.
A good way to cut cost of your wedding photography is to have him photograph the important parts of your wedding, the bridal preparation in the morning can be skipped if you are really on a budget. Get your photographer to start from the church up until you cut the cake, You can then get other photographers, i.e students and family members to photograph the rest of the wedding. Wedding photographers charge a lot for their time, So this is a fantastic way to save cost.
You could do this by having all the photographs done in one place or at one time (all the group shots before the ceremony, all the reception shots immediately after the ceremony), reducing the number of shots or making sure you have someone to get people in the right place at the time. This of course only works with quotes that are based on hours and not packages.
We always give our clients all their wedding photographs in high resolution on a DVD, please beware of cheap wedding photographers who want to charge addtional fees for dvds or prints, this might turn out to be a false economy
Buy the wedding album yourself
Many wedding photography packages include an album which is often heavily overpriced. By sourcing your own album, you can reduce this significantly.
Finding an album is easy as there are many online stores and department stores that stock beautiful wedding albums (at a fraction of the cost of photographers).
Create the album yourself
When you have your prints, put the album together yourself. It’s easy to lay down photos in an album and you can put them in the order you want. By doing this yourself, you are reducing the number of hours the photographer works and the materials they use, so you’ll reduce your costs significantly.
Get copies of all the guests’ shots
These days everyone uses digital cameras, which makes it easy to share and copy photos. Get your guests to send you their shots and you’ll end up with literally thousands of pictures to choose from, each at a slightly different angle.
