Memories in a Snapshot
by Andrea Esquivel
Great Photography is another way to help remember special events that take place
on one of the best days in a couple’s life. Many years will pass by, but if the pictures are taken on that special day; the couple will remember it for many years to come. Photography has become a new and fun activity for a newly engaged couple where they can incorporate different and cute themes for their wedding, and neat tricks for when the couple gets married. The only downside is that getting a great photographer for cheap is very hard to come by unless if you happen to know someone. Here are some ideas to a great photographing experience for your special wedding day:
Hire a Friend
If you have a very low budget and the friend has already had experience in taking pictures as a side hobby. Ask your friend to take pictures for your engagement and wedding, and in turn, you’d give them decent pay for their services. It will still save you lots of money on photography, and it’ll also give your friend experience in photography.
Bulletin Board
At Brigham Young University-Idaho there are many budding photographers that have just graduated, and trying to build their clientele. Since they are newly graduated, photographers tend to offer great deals on their packages for more experience, and clientele. This helps to save money and also get that great quality photography for your special wedding day.

Give the Guests a Camera: I spy
Sometimes the guests can capture what the photographer can’t, so if the couple hired a photographer that charges at a decent rate, or only hiring for a certain amount of time/events. There will be many memories created by doing so for the guests, and it also give the couple many pictures to go through that they hadn't remembered before after their wedding day is over. The couple can even make it fun for the guests and have a list of things that the couple wants pictures of for the guests to do with the disposable camera. Some guests may have a natural talent for the skill, or it may just be a funny picture for the newly wedded couple to laugh over. This can be a very exciting and fun alternative to spending big bucks on a big time photographer.
Have your Photographer Post-Edit Photos
To keep the costs down, the couple can research into hiring a photographer who can edit the photos that are taken by friends and family at the wedding/reception. It keeps the price well under budget, and you get the photo quality that the couple loves on their special day
