I am just chuckling, trying to figure out how this particular topic ended up in the "Sex and Relationships" forum.

I can't recommend anyone from Philly but I will say... I was watching Rich Bride, Poor Bride last night and they tried to go with a student photographer, but the engagement shots the student did were so bad that they ended up having to go with a pro later in the game, which cost them more.

Just make sure you get a good sample of the work. Some students may be great; others are probably not worth the money you'll save.

I also have a limited budget and was really considering getting a student photographer. However, i have a certain look that I want and not just anyone can do it. I am still trying to look around for a photographer that can fit the bill, and wont charge me an arm and a leg. I am also trying to contact local colleges and ask for their top student photographers and maybe show them what i am looking for. such as pictures i like, and if that is their style as well.
You can find some decent photographers, the trick is to try to get ones that will let you print your own pictures. that will save some serious money.
plus a lot of photographers can charge by hour as well, and if youre like me, i just want the getting ready, just a couple, the ceremony, the family together after, and the cake cutting and the garter and bouquet toss. im going to say i could probably get that all in in 3 hours, maybe less. the ceremony isnt going to take that long, and if we cut the cake at the reception first that would also cut down time.
as for the videographer, i am going to have a trusted family member video the wedding with her digital camera. im more into pictures anyways, so if it turns out back, which i doubt it will, i will at least have some good pics.

im also going to leave some cameras on the tables for the guests to take pictures themselves at the reception. ive always loved this idea, it gives such a diff angle at the wedding you may not have known about lol

anyways, good luck!! hope my ideas helped :)
