Are you in the mist of planning a wedding? If so, wedding photography may be the last thing on your mind. But reconsider.

The wedding dress, ceremony, reception and cake will all be major features of your wedding. But, just as important are your wedding photos, for these will be viewed time and again by yourself, friends and family for years – if not generations – to come, bringing back sweet memories of events on your special day.

It's true that high end wedding photography can be a large expense, but you'll find professional photographers to fit all budgets, and beautiful wedding shots are certainly a way of ensuring that the magic of your special day lives for years and generations to come .

So, get busy contacting local professional photographers for free quotes. It's more than likely they'll offer a variety of packages to suit all pockets. For example, a budget package may include attendance at the actual ceremony, resulting in a limited number of photos displayed in a traditional matted album.

If you're after more than just the basics but still do not want to spend a fortune, plump for a mid-priced package, which should include longer photographic attendance at your wedding, more photos, displayed in a better quality album, plus a few additional extras, such as an online gallery.

Perhaps you can afford a no-expenses-spared wedding? In that case, you'd be wise to invest in quality, upper price range wedding photography. With this, you'll get top quality products and advice, plenty of photos in a handmade, custom-designed album, along with a variety of additional products.

But, what if you've overspent on your dress or cake, or do not have a lot of money left over for wedding photography? What can you do to ensure your reduced budget does not compromise the overall quality of your wedding pictures?

First of all, remember not to wear yourself out too much while planning your wedding, so that you're fresh to really enjoy yourself once your special day arrives. This way, you're pictures are sure to come out better – whether taken by a family friend or by a professional photographer.

Secondly, use pictures to create more pictures. A recent trend in weddings is to create slideshows of special or embarrassing photographs of the bride and groom, especially during their childhood days.

Another way of saving on wedding photography is to let your guests take pictures. Leave a cheap, disposable camera on each table, along with a note encouraging your guests to snap pictures of each other, the wedding reception, and so forth. These pictures could turn out to be some of your most interesting shots.

And, of course, you'll also want to appoint a family member or friend to be in charge of the main wedding photos, taking more traditional shots.

While these wedding photography approaches will get you some unique photographs at an affordable price, they certainly will not replace the amazing pictures produced by a professional photographer.

As outlined above, wedding photography does not have to break the bank. Even if you're on a budget, you can have your wedding documented with wonderful pictures. Remember, the cost is more than worth it. Your wedding and the magic created will live on for years.
