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.

Virtually everyone knows somebody that has a camera and these people are often
called upon to fill the role of the wedding photographer when the budget is tight.
In all likelihood, these friends or family members really have no idea how to go
about shooting a wedding.

Does this mean the couple should have to settle for amateur photographs of the
beginning of their life together? No, it doesn't.

Just because a couple doesn't have a lot of money to spend on their wedding
doesn't mean they shouldn't still have quality, professional-looking photos.

On reflection, I realized that shooting a wedding isn't that difficult, per se.
It's basically just a series of staged shots that anyone can do with a bit of
guidance. It?s the seriousness of the occasion that is the most intimidating
factor.
