Affordable Photographer?

Try looking at Craigslist. There's tons of photographers who may even do it free just so they can build their portfolio

I would ask photographers if they have a package where they only stay for 1-2 hours, that will be a lot cheaper than a full day. And skip engagement photos. You can also find photographers just starting out (so cheaper) on wedding facebook local groups & local colleges.

Check out GigMasters.com! Also see if you can find any newer photographers or if you have a nearby college see about hiring a college student.

Photographers wanting to build their wedding portfolio usually have some more affordable options!

I would check on thumbtack. Or look into hiring one for less hours.

Are you on the ct wedding advice and swap group on Facebook? There’s tons of replies to posts looking for a low budget photographer

Leslie,

I don't know if you found one yet, however if you haven't you can try Norman Oates Photography. His work is excellent and he travels also. He has packages as low as $1800 for five hours of coverage.
