It can take a year to plan and lasts just one special day, so ensuring pictures of your wedding are captured as beautifully as possible is crucial. After the vicar, the photographer has the most important job as it’s his responsibility to ensure your happy memories are preserved for posterity.
Getting the lighting right, ensuring the whole operation runs smoothly and captures the best impressions of you and your guests takes experience, expertise and the right equipment. So unfortunately, Uncle John with his new, shiny camera is not going to cut it. Weddings are expensive occasions, and employing the right photographer will, after the reception, probably be your second biggest expense, so make sure you hire the right one!
Once you’ve had a look at their website and spoken on the phone, you should arrange to meet the photographer several months before the big day. This will give you an opportunity to decide whether you gel, and that they’d be able to create the right rapport with you and your guests.
Make sure you see full albums of weddings they’ve photographed before, and not just a selection of their best work. This also gives you an opportunity to decide what style of pictures you’d like:
* Traditional/Classical – carefully posed pictures from a pre-selected shot list designed to capture you looking your best, and plenty of wide shots of friends and family.
* Reportage – unobtrusive, magazine style pictures that reflect genuine moments and record the day in a relaxed manner.
* Contemporary – a combination of formal shots and relaxed candid photos.
Once you’ve selected the package you want, you can then move on to discussing the price, but remember that photography is a skill and not a commodity. While people will forget whether there was a band and how the food tasted, a picture can last a lifetime.
On the big day, you can arrange for the photographer to capture the early morning preparations and then to capture specific moments of your reception such as your first dance. Or alternately, they can be there just to capture the ceremony and the cutting of the cake. The choice is yours, but don’t forget to have them capture the unique wedding favors you selected!
Once he’s returned to his studio, the photographer will be able to use the wonders of modern technology to remove incidences of red eye, crop the images to best fit the frame and even add special effects to produce the perfect wedding montage.
After the all cake’s been eaten, the guests have left and the wedding presents opened, you can sit down and enjoy reminiscing over your beautiful photos. They can either be presented to you in a ready made album or on a DVD so you can sit back and watch a slideshow while scribbling down the numbers of the ones to be printed. Your favourite pictures can then be put in an album, presented to loved ones and put in frames so you can be reminded of your fairy tale wedding day for many years to come.

Having the perfect wedding day is every girl’s fantasy. It is one of the most important days of your life and of course you want to make it special and memorable. Contrary to what they say in magazines you do not need to splurge to achieve this dream. There are so many ways that you can do to work on a tight budget. But staying on a cheaper note does not mean you have to give up on sentimentality or fashion. It means you have to use your imagination and originality to come up with ideas to make your wedding an unforgettable one.
The first step is to prioritize and focus on the things you want to attain. When planning a wedding, coming up with a good checklist is a smart strategy. It is an essential part in organizing all of the work to be done beforehand. It is easy for time and money to get away once you have started the preparations and a good checklist will keep this all under control. Here are some guidelines which you can consider in planning that perfect day with a budget in mind.
Wedding gown. There are two ways to save money on your wedding dress, it’s either you buy your gown “off the rack” or hire a dressmaker to make it for you. Check out bridal sales at places like Bridal boutiques because they usually offer gowns at a much lesser price. But if you plan to hire a professional dressmaker, remember that price and quality may vary considerably. To get a great deal, it is much better to hire a more expensive dressmaker but decide on a much simpler fabric and detailing for the gown.
Accessories. You should decide on to making your own headpieces and wedding accessories. Books are available in the market with a mixture of different patterns.
Cake. Choosing cupcakes as a substitute for a wedding cake is a good idea. It can be arranged in a three-tiered cake tray and decorated with color icings and sprinkles to match your theme.
Videography. An important professional priority in any wedding is wedding videography. If your budget is really tight, then a good option is to hire a videography student. They are usually creative and will do a great job for much less than a professional.
Reception Hall. Consider having the wedding reception in your backyard if the yard is big enough and the weather permits it. Set up a few canopies or tarpaulins in the possibility of rain.
Flowers. Choose flowers varieties which will be in season at the time of the wedding. You should also explore other ideas in decorating the church and reception area. Use scented candles, balloon bouquets and inexpensive live plants.
Rings. Jewelry stores usually offer a variety of low cost golden rings with the type you are looking for. Sometimes, they also hold clearance sales for rings.
Wedding planning on a limited budget can be stressful and overwhelming. You have to remember so many things at once that it can also be a little confusing at times. Although this may happen, do not let yourself caught up in the all the drama of choosing the right gown or wedding videography to match your style. Take a deep breath and just keep in mind all of these guidelines and you will have a wedding you’ve always dreamed of.
Disney Wedding Questions »
My boyfriend of 3 years and I are about to become engaged, and he’s already started talking about the honeymoon. I don’ mind–I like to plan way ahead–but he’s absolutely dead set on going to Disney World for our honeymoon. I’m not so sure. He went there once when he was five years old and said he’s always wanted to go back–he’s a very good man with a child’s heart.
On the other hand, I’m not so fond about going to Disney World for a honeymoon. I’m sure it’s great (I’ve never been there before), but I would rather go somewhere less oriented for children–like an adult exclusive resort, where our interests as adults will be prioritized.
I’m not completely against going to Disney World altogether, but I think it would be a waste of the experience until we have children to share it with. Wouldn’t that be better?
If anyone’s had a wedding/honeymoon at Disney World or knows someone who did, could you tell me about it?

10 years ago my wife and I recieved a single Disney stock as a wedding gift. Our annual payout has ranged from 25 cents to the latest one as 66 cents. In our second year of ownership of this stock we recieved a notice from the IRS that we were overdue on our taxes for this sum. Guessing that this was an automated notice and that it seemed crazy to send a cheque to the IRS for even 50% of the earnings (12 cents) we ignored it. Since then we have not seen another IRS statement and we have not been stopped at the border but I wouldn’t want to somehow be flagged for tax evasion in the US for something as stupid as owing 12 cents.
Does anyone know how I can get this clarified?
