Let's face it, vendors for any service are expensive, and once you add the word "wedding" in front, that price can easily double. Being on a budget, couples have to decide on want vs need, so with that in mind, have any of you chosen not to have a photographer at your wedding and reception? I know many brides and grooms will say that having a photographer is a must, but I know it's not for everyone. So if you aren't or didn't hire one, what were your feelings about it that prompted you to choose not to? Did you create a cloud-type website for everyone to upload their photos to instead? Were you happy about the photos you saw taken by friends and family? Or do you regret not booking a photographer? Just thought this would be an interesting discussion for a lovely Friday.
