I can't afford a nice photographer for my wedding. Does anyone have any ideas for cheaper photography at a wedding? How much did you pay for a photographer?

About those boudoir albums...
Amy, on March 10, 2016 at 3:21 PM

Anyone else having trouble finding Hair/MUA?
Desireecox, on March 7, 2016 at 3:09 PM
