Think disposable. The professional photographer will certainly be able to capture those posed photos with ease, but what about capturing those same poses for a fraction of the cost. Using disposable cameras and a group of close friends, gather together the entire wedding party and have the friends take the pictures simultaneously from different angles. You are bound to find one or more that is just as good as the professional picture.

Think small. When handing out those disposable cameras, do not forget the littlest of guests. Kids see the world from an entirely different angle than anyone else, so allow them a few cameras and you will be amazed at what you find.

Think about more than the bride and groom. While the entire day is all about the bride and groom, it is often the photos taken at other parts of the reception and service that are the most endearing. Set aside a few close friends to capture photos of guests and their reactions to the wedding.

Think education. If a more professional look is something you are looking to achieve for less, promote a family member to attend photography classes a few months before the wedding. Then, rent a camera for the service and the reception.

Call friends. There is always the chance that a high school buddy has gone into the world of photography, so make sure to call all of your closest friends and ask if they are keen on taking the photos for the wedding. You can even include this information in the invitations.
