You may be able to get a good reference for a photographer from your reception site. Working with a wedding planner can save money because they have established relationships with photographers.

One way to cut costs it to limit the number of pictures instead of going with a cheap photographer. You could ask the photographer to work for only a couple of hours to get the really important shots and have friends and family give you the photos from their digital cameras.
NEW APPLE TOOL HELPS YOU ORGANIZE YOUR WEDDING & HONEYMOON SHOTS
Apple introduced iLife '09, which features major upgrades to iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. It also includes iDVD and an updated version of iWeb(TM). iPhoto makes it easy to organize photos into Events. iPhoto automatically scans photos to detect people's faces and when you assign a name to any face iPhoto will automatically find more pictures of that person.
The library can be searched by name or browsed using the new Faces View. Places automatically imports photo location data from a GPS-enabled camera or any iPhone(TM) or you can manually assign a location to any photo, group of photos or event.
Once iPhoto knows where photos were taken, you can easily explore them with a simple search or an interactive map. iPhoto '09 lets you easily publish photos to Facebook or Flickr. Photos published to Facebook include assigned names, and name tags added on Facebook sync back to iPhoto. You can also share photos by creating a themed slideshow to play on your Mac, iPhone or iPod, or create a beautiful travel book, complete with customized maps of your journey.
EDIT VIDEOS LIKE A PRO
iMovie '09 has added easy- to-use new features, such as the new Precision Editor, video stabilization, advanced drag and drop, and animated travel maps. Precision Editor makes it easier to identify how much to keep, where to cut, and use sound from one clip with video from another.
iMovie '09 analyzes video and reduces camera shake in clips when added to your project. New titles, transitions, cinematic effects, speed changes and animated travel maps add professional polish to your movie. iLife '09 will be available this month for a suggested retail price of $79 (US) through the Apple Store (http://www.apple.com), Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers.
