To save money consider hiring a professional photographer for the formal shots of your ceremony only. You can place disposable cameras on the top of each table in the reception and let your guest take the shots. This can save you a considerable amount of money. To really economize look for a photographer who charges a flat rate to shoot the wedding and will allow you to purchase the film.
