FREE WEDDING PLANNER, SAVE MONEY ON WEDDING PHOTOS

8. WHAT TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHS WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE TAKEN?

Plan now for those wedding shots you’ll cherish later, because once your wedding begins, your mind will be preoccupied with the ceremony.

Fan through some magazines for ideas; ask friends and family for suggestions. Visit a local photography shop and ask to see a portfolio of their wedding shots and you may discover some great ideas.

Visit some sites on the Internet by using keywords such as ‘Wedding Photography” in your search engine. Your local library stocks current magazines and books, including those relating to weddings. You can find gold in them-there hills! And it’s totally free!

Wedding photography can be one of the most expensive items on the wedding menu. It’s easy to spend hundreds of dollars for a few great shots. Our plan outlines big savings were photography is concerned.

Consider using disposable cameras and provide a few guests with them to capture some great shots. Check with your local high school’s camera club; a youngster may volunteer for the experience.

After your wedding is over and you’ve had your prints developed, try to find someone to enlarge and copy these with a professional color copier. You will be totally amazed at the results! A good copier can mimic high-dollar reproductions for a fraction of the cost.
