you can probably get cheaper though - is s/he local to where the ceremony is, or local to where you are now?

also, consider having them do just the ceremony and formal shots, and have friends take candids of the reception (everyone knows a few decent amateur shutterbugs.)

this is sort of what I did way back when. Photog did formal, we had a friend do reception video and we put disposable cameras on all the tables - decline Jan 22, 08:36
Well, we tried to get one of kelly's brothers to recommend people cheap and this is his suggestion - Will Hunting Jan 22, 08:36 9
- i would google up photogs close to the ceremony and do some online research myself. without travel, i bet it goes down. - Andie Jan 22, 08:37 8
  - might I also suggest that a great photographer is worth paying for. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 08:39 5
    - Absolutely. We got lucky because we had the personal in, but otherwise, we would have spent bigger $$$, I'm sure. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 22, 08:43 2
      - my brother is considering getting into it, but he really isn't sure he wants to give up most of his weekends. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 08:44 1
        
        Gen's trying to cut back for that reason. Never wanted to "go pro", but still did almost 20 weddings last year. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 22, 08:46
    - that's true - crappy wedding pics are just.... crappy. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 08:40 1
      - For my second wedding, we just had my sister take pictures and while she did fine, it's not nearly the same. - pmb Jan 22, 08:46
  - country folk work cheap! -- nm - decline Jan 22, 08:38 1
    - their overhead just costs less, so they can. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 08:39
