INTRODUCTION
DO IT YOURSELF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
In November of 2003, I attended the wedding of my wife's oldest nephew. He and his fiancé both work full time and go to school, so they don't have a lot of money, and neither do their parents.

Regardless, they managed to have a very nice wedding with the money they did have available. Fortunately for Mike and Wendi, a family friend and semi-professional photographer (not yours truly) agreed to do their wedding.

On the way home from the reception it occurred to me that a lot of couples are in the same position of not having a lot of money for their wedding. Mike and Wendi were lucky to have a photographer to call on, but not everyone will have this asset.

A wedding is one of the biggest expenses a couple will generate, and parents can't always be counted on to help defray the cost. Many times, expenses will need to be cut and some aspects of a wedding lend themselves to budget cuts more than others.

For the budget-conscious wedding, the photography is frequently one of the things to suffer. As there is no shortage of people taking pictures at a wedding, often the couple will just figure on using the pictures taken by their guests. One practice I’ve seen is to place disposable cameras on each table at the reception.
