SECRET #1
DON’T MAKE ANY DECISIONS
UNTIL YOU SET
A BUDGET THAT BEST
SUITES YOUR NEEDS
Once the excitement of the engagement
settles down and you start to plan your wedding, the very first thing you need
to do is set a detailed budget. Having an approximate cost limit for all the
things you think you will want will help ensure that you don’t end up spending
more that you can afford. Although this process is not the most exciting thing
to do, creating your wedding budget should be the first and most important part
of your wedding planning process.
The first step in creating your wedding
budget is to determine what the overall amount of money you can spend on
wedding photography. These days, wedding photographers are a dime-a-dozen and
pricing ranges anywhere fro $500 to $10,000. One thing to remember, you can pay
too much for a photographer, and you certainly can spend too little, as well.
Some of the finest photographers can be found in the $1800 to $4000 price
range. Of course, a lot depends on what all you want.
Who is paying for the wedding photography?
Traditionally, the parents of the Bride have handled this expense. In recent
years, however, many couples have opted to take this expense since they are
more in tune with how much things cost and don’t want to send their parents into
cardiac shock. In the case where family wants to help pay for the photography,
find out how much they are willing to
help. Get with your parents. Sit down with them and find out what they are
prepared to pay for. This will help you in your budget decisions.
