So you’ve just gotten engaged. Congratulations! You’ve called your friends and family and set a date. Now comes the hard part: actually planning the darn thing! But how do you know what to do with your budget? A common mistake that many brides make is not setting aside enough money for a professional photographer or photographers. Sure, you could have Uncle Bob or Cousin Jo take the photos of your big day, but unless they are professionally trained photographers, you risk having a wedding album filled with blurred images or unflattering shots of you and your guests.
On average, photographers can cost around $3000, yet most brides only set aside around $500, ⅙ of what they should be spending to ensure that their special day is properly documented. So why choose a photographer over a reception hall filled with luscious hydrangeas, a rockin’ dj or a gourmet menu? While all of those aspects make for a memorable event, at the end of the day, the food will be eaten, the dj will pack up and if you’re lucky, one bloom can be carefully preserved in a scrapbook. The only truly tangible aspect of your wedding will be your photos. So why skimp on something that will help you remember every single wonderful detail of one of the best days of your life?
