Wedding planning in a recession can be challenging as it means you need to cut down on cost and save money on whatever you can. This can be easy through the use of diy’s and cheaper vendors. However, there are two things you NEED for your wedding day that you definitely do not want to take the cheap route on.
1. Photos
The first is making sure you don’t skip out on paying for a photographer. Photos of your wedding day are what is going to stay with you for years to come after the fact. You will get rid of the decor you purchase, flowers, and eventually even your dress. Those photos however will stay forever. That’s why it’s so important to hire a professional photographer to take those beautiful photos of you and your boo! Sure you can save money by handing your aunt who took your senior photos a camera, but they may not know your style of editing. A good photographer might be a little pricey, but they will provide you with a ton of photos that you will love! They will always make sure to get your good side, and they will edit them in the way you request so those new photos perfectly match your Instagram feed!
2. Video
The second is a videographer. Just along with photos, that video will stay with you for a while. If you get a high quality video produced of your wedding, you can send it after to long distance friends who were unable to attend, or you were unable to invite due to budget cuts. A high quality video and videographer is a must have for anyone planning a wedding. Having a quality videographer also takes a lot of weight off your shoulders on the wedding day. As long as you pick one that has done this type of work before you can trust that they will do a good job. Let them move you around, pose you and wait for your dream video of your dream day to be delivered to you in a few months after. Plus a fun anniversary tradition is to re-watch that wonderful video with your husband on your wedding day!
