carolinagirl's Pink wedding

Here's the deal. I have been married before so I know how precious not to mention priceless those moments in time you can't get back can be. So, I was wondering what other people are doing if you are on a budget for your photography. I have looked into a few things: for starters I am a student so I checked with the Art Department at my college and I got to see some of the work of our student photographers and let me tell you --they were pretty awesome. So i thought perhaps I would see what they would charge me. I also checked with the newspapers to see if they could give me a name of some who freelances for them. Of course, I am going to have the disposables on the table but I want some really good pictures you guys. The thing is I am paying for this wedding on my own and I am a single mom (not like that is too uncommon these days I know) but there are other contributing factors. And though I have been married before this feels like my first as silly as that may sound. I don't have thousands to spend on photography. Heck I just don't have thousands to spend...LOL. So any suggestions would be welcomed and no I don't have any friends or relatives that love to take pics...I know bad for me.
