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.
