When we got married, we didn't have an official photographer but we did have several guests who brought thgeir digital cameras and snapped away. One of them (Dad) used to be a pro tographer (not weddings) and had a DSLR (D50) and the others had P&Ses. When we got back here, I commandeered the cards and nicked all their pics. Weeded out the carp ones and printed the rest off at 6x4 for a little flip album to show interested parties. Did A4 prints of the best and have a couple framed (we got a couple of nice frames as wedding gifts). Total cost to us (inks and paper) was about £20 or so and we have just as many memories of the day as we would have done had we spend £x,000 on a photographer. In fact, our total spend on the whole day (registry office, meal, dress + suit) was less than a cousin spent having the bridesmaids' shoes dyed to match the limo...
OK, we had been together for over 20 years before we married, so have plenty of memories of our time together anyway but it does seem rather excessive to spend £x,000 on a book of photos that statistically may well end up as waste paper after a few years anyway.
