Hiring a good photographer becomes a matter of tension when your wedding expenses are limited within small budgets. If you want to get a budget wedding photographer, then simply be honest with the photographer. Negotiate with him or her after you’ve been honest about the amount you can spend on a photographer. For example, you like a particular package that’s slightly more expensive, and then maybe you can work something out with your photographer. 

 

Maybe the package’s price could decrease if you’ve taken something off. You could also try asking the photographer if it’s okay to lower the price of the package. A better option than making a deposit and having incremental payment is to just make one lump sum payment and maybe even get a discount for it. Asking for a deal is not something to be afraid of. The worst that could happen is that the photographer would tell you no. 

 

Be confident when you are asking for discount. Your confidence and gesture speaks a lot when you are trying to negotiate and try to bring down the prices to your affordable value. This doesn’t mean that your style should be compromised. Be what you are. It’s your day, and if you want this particular thing, then no one can tell you otherwise. This wedding of yours has been on your mind for such a long time now. Don’t let others ruin your dreams and your vision. 

 

While price is important, there’s no need for you to sacrifice the style that you want for your wedding pictures. If you want an artistic style of photography, then get an artistic style of photography and don’t choose anything else just so you could stick to your budget wedding photography. Go ahead and make some necessary compromises so you can get your pictures for a smaller amount, just be sure you don’t sacrifice your overall needs and wants. 

 

The cheapest option is to go for DVD’s with your pictures on them and then decide what else you’d like to do with them. You can get prints at a store, which would be cheaper than ordering them from the photographer. When you finally made a choice it would be nice to send a mass e-mail to all the other photographers thanking them for their patience and time. Inform them that you have made your choice. If you really want to have two wedding photographers, but you can afford you only one, don’t get disappointed. Look around for someone who would shoot your wedding for free.
