At Inexpensive Wedding Photography, we believe that the only thing you should be committed to on your wedding day is your partner. Not be committed to debt & worrying about missing out on the important things of the day just because your budget doesnt allow. With mortgage rates ever increasing & petrol & grocery prices rising on a daily basis, we understand the pressures of couples just starting out. We have all been there. So we strip down the costs of your wedding photos. Only pay for what you want. Not for overpriced packages that you don’t really need!!!!! This means you can still have your wedding professionally photographed at a cost that you can afford then we give you the images on a disc. After that, you can get the photographs you want printed yourself when you can afford it. Not as part of the photography package upfront. (or we can print them for you). And the bonus is….we put the images on your very own unique password protected website so your relatives & guests can also choose and purchase the photographs they want. It’s that simple. We currently have photographers based in Victoria, New South Wales & Queensland with other states coming soon. Contact us today to discuss your wedding photography requirements. See our packages page for full details. All our photographers are professional, experienced, caring, courteous & understanding. We are there for you, to make your special day exactly what its supposed to be. See website for our special package offers. http://www.inexpensiveweddingphotography.com/index.html

Your wedding is very important.
Planning. Time. Money.
SO NOTHING SHOULD GO WRONG.
Here are some points we think are important…
FILM VS. DIGITAL
We believe you should always shoot on film, as the end results are always of a much higher quality. However, we also understand that digital photography is important, so we give you high quality negatives, prints and CDs.
Within two weeks after your wedding, we will give you the negatives, proofs and CDs. There is no 1 year waiting period and no extra charge for the negatives!
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KEEP YOUR NEGATIVES?
You can make all of the prints you want, for whomever you want, like friends, parents, grandparents, etc. And you will know the price you are paying for prints is not overinflated!
One of us may relocate! If you have your negatives, you will always be able to make prints, no matter where you are.
It is your wedding and they are your negatives! You are paying for them. There should be no extra charge. Make sure you keep them.
You should keep the prints, negatives and CDs. Always. No exceptions. No extra cost!
We shoot your wedding, not our assistants. Make sure the person you hire will be the person who actually turns up to shoot your whole wedding, start to finish. And as always, there is no hourly charge.
Make sure you like the photographer, not just their work. You’ll spend 8 to 10 hours with that person. A brilliant photographer doesn’t mean a nice person.
Make sure you know all costs up front.
Ask for references or brides the photographer has worked with.
Make sure your photographer and videographer will be available to you after the wedding, as well as before.
Ask us any question at all. No matter how small. Questions are important. You haven’t done this before, so no question can be too small or stupid. Don’t hesitate to call or email us with questions!
DON’T…
Don’t pay more for black and white, color, sepia tone, sloppy border or any effects. There is no cost difference.
Don’t get bullied into a package! We don’t do packages and have never understood how 2 or 3 packages could suit hundreds of different couples. Every wedding is different and unique and should be treated that way.
Don’t hire someone by the hour. Why would they want to get your wedding done in the alloted time, when they can make more money by going slowly? Do you want to rush to get all of your photos taken because you only have a 5-hour package?
Don’t pay extra for travel, within reason.
Don’t be afraid to ask what type of equipment the photographer and videographer will use for your wedding. The best photographers use a variety of equipment.
Don’t get pushed into buying an album. There are many choices out there and we prefer to have our album suppliers assist you in your decision. We can accommodate anything from magazine style to traditional.
Serving the entire San Francisco Bay Area for Wedding Photography and Videography. You get the best of both worlds utilizing both film and digital. Everything from your wedding day and engagement poses to the best man’s toast…

I want an open bar and I’m trying to convince my fiance that it’s the only way to go if we have alcohol. We’re probably going to have at least 200 guests. We’re on a budget so I believe the most inexpensive way to go is to buy everything wholesale and hire a bartender. Anyone have any experience with this, did it go as planned? I need to have estimated numbers for my fiance when we sit down and talk about this.
We provided our own alcohol for 80 guests. The catering service we used for the buffet dinner included a bartender to serve the drinks so I don’t remember how much that portion cost by itself. We didn’t want to do a cash wedding because I’ve hated it whenever I’ve seen it at weddings.
But we didn’t have a full bar with mixed drinks, we only had beer and wine. It was far cheaper to do that because my father-in-law homebrews beer as a hobby and we bought the wine/champagne in bulk from Costco.
If I had to throw a number at all the alcohol I would say around $600 for about 30 gallons of beer, 2 cases of wine, and a case of champagne. The bartending service (including setup and equipment) was probably another $500 for a 5-6 hour long reception.
So overall, around $1100-$1200 total.
It went great, the bartender had a table (with a tip jar) to serve wine from the bottles and beer from the kegs. The caterer also had coffee, fruit punch, and ice water (late July wedding so it was hot that day).

We’re trying to work on our budgeting right now… Does anyone know around what the average cost of a wedding gown might be?
Edit:: We want to have a ballroom-ish wedding.
It depends on what sort of gown it is and where you get it. Honestly, there is no real average price. My gown retails for $2500 in one bridal shop and $1849 in a different shop. My future mother in law made the perfect replica (she is very talented) for $129! You some really nice gowns at a cheaper price by buying straight off the rack or finding deals online. Some deb dresses these days look like bridal gowns and they sell for hundreds less. I would set a budget of about $1500 if you can afford it and I wouldn’t spend that much if I didn’t have to. Good luck

I’m taking my girlfriend to NYC next summer. She’s never been there before so this will be an event for her. She has no clue that I’m actually scouting for a church (Catholic church) for our future wedding! I’m originally from Brooklyn but moved at a very early age. Any tips would be appreciated.
I live in NYC and our wedding is considered small by the standards around here (85-90 people). We are spending approximately $25,000 on the wedding (not including the honeymoon), which is pretty much standard in this area. An average reception hall will run you $100+ per person, and a good photographer over $2,000. Hope this helps, and good luck with your proposal! (I’m guessing you’re proposing then, too?)
