Its never a good idea to leave photography in the hands of a none pro! Only because after your wedding that's all that's left are the memories your photographer captured for you!!! I get a lot of people who come to me to do trash the dress and day after sessions because they went with a budget photographer and they hate the photos the photog produced. Wedding photography isn't something a novis can do! If budget is a big concern maybe see if you can register with a photographer so your guests can help pay for the photogs fee. I hope your images no matter what way you decide to go turn out amazing!!!!
