Budget Weddings: Photos & Band

Photographers
As you will leaf through your wedding album many times (one hopes), don't skimp on the photographer. If a professional wedding photographer is financially daunting, choose a camera person with a good portfolio but without wedding experience. He or she won't charge as much. Give the novice lots of instructions about what and whom you want captured on film. You'd like your wedding to be filmed but don't want to pay for a videographer? Ask a friend or relative to video scenes of the wedding.

Music
Good bands are expensive, but if you hire a nontraditional wedding band you'll pay less. Regardless of the type of band, the number of musicians is directly related to price - so pare down the group as much as possible.

A disc jockey is another option. And a great DJ beats a lousy band any day.
