Cant afford 2-$3,000 dollars for a photographer..
Any suggestions ???
I also want professional pictures, but don't want to go crazy. I am having Mark Kaufmann's photographers (2 of them, one candid and one B&W) for only 3 hours including 200 proofs for $800. This is as much as I can afford and doesn't include albums, thank yous etc. We have to pay for the proofs that we want enlarged. He was very flexible and I'm happy to have found a highly recommended studio for such a good price.
They will be taking pictures of my FH and I 1 hour before the ceremony. After the ceremony, we will miss 1/2 hour of the cocktail hour and include some of our family, since we don't have a bridal party. They will stage the cake too, and will be done 1/2 hour into the reception. Our family will be taking pictures (find someone who has a good camera) the rest of the reception. Also considering disposable cameras. Ours is a small wedding 50-60 people, so this works for us.
i haven't met with him, so can't attest to his work, but robert london offers small photography packages as well. they are listed on his website:
