I don't know whether the uncertainty surrounding the economic climate is making financial matters seem worse this year compared to last year but we have met a few couples who initially thought to ask friends to photograph their wedding - which can be a great idea if they're experienced wedding photographers....
Unfortunately, last week we were approached by a recently married lady who asked if we would have a look at her wedding photographs to see if there was anything that could be done to improve them...... which in all honesty was not a great deal.
A well meaning friend had persuaded her to let him photograph the day - a wedding is a ONE off, it's a really fast moving event & obviously not the right time to learn about the camera & flash or how to create angles for great photos because once the day is over the photographs are going to be the only things that remain - now that does sound like a photographers quote!
So, my one piece of advice would be, if budget is a consideration, ask your preferred photographer if they would be prepared to shoot for a shorter amount of time (for less money!) - then ask family & friends to take photos to help 'set the scene' of the day around the professional photographs.
