2010 Weddings

My fiance and I want to make things as simple as possible for our wedding and we've decided that neither of us take or look at that many pictures of us so we don't see the need to have a photographer at the wedding. Neither of us want to spend hours posing with different people in different places. We figure we can get disposable cameras to put on the tables at the reception and friends and family will surely take pictures during the wedding with pictures they can send us. Plus that will shave a good $2000 off the budget.

How odd is it not to have a photographer or videographer at your wedding? Every wedding I've been to has had one or both.

I don't think it is weird at all.  We aren't having either one of them.  Our Rev. and his wife keep giving us a hard time.  But a couple of the guests we have coming are professional photographers.  I figure they will take pretty good pics.  We will do a couple of pose shots, but it won't be a long drawn out session. 

A friend of mine bought her husband a new video camera for his birthday, but really it is so he can record our wedding.  Tee hee.  So who needs to hire someone when friends are so excited and prepping for it. I can't deny them that simple pleasure.  :)
