Introduction: The Classical Cheapskate!

Hello,
My name is Quinn and, I am not a fan of tacky.
I am not a fan of second best.
I am not a fan of sloppy, trashy, tasteless, shoddy weddings.

I hate them.
To me it screams: we can't afford to get married, and yet we think we can afford marriage!

And considering I am a professional wedding photographer, Ive been to my fair share of weddings. So, I am proud to say ive seen it all. Ive seen the extravagant, million dollar affairs; and the background barBQs with uncle Clifford's moonshine.


With that said: I want a million dollar wedding. But, reality check- most photographers i know arent exactly rich, and my hubby-to-be is still in college. So the rain on my parade is the big-bad-old dollar bill. So, that is when we devised a plan, and unheard of, out of this world, daring, crazy idea that is made of the kind of stuff you find at circus olay. It goes like this: We will have a big beautiful, awesomely, terrifically, fun wedding for under $3,000 washingtons.


i know what you're thinking. No way can you pull it off. No way can you have your cake and eat it too. You have to pick between Cheap and Elegant. But we are quite determined.




How we plan to do this:

1- Amateurs: Professionals in training often have more excitement, more creativity, and more time than those who have been in the business for- like- ever. The key things they are lacking= experience and a big price tag.

2- Friends: One huge piece of advice. Dont be that couple that blows off their friends for each other. It will come back to bite you. Me and Hank both considered it extremely important to keep our friends involved in our lives and relationship. and guess what!? we have some talented pals in our gang!

3- DIY: I may not be the most creative crayola in the box, but I'm pretty good at following instructions and i believe coffee is a fabulous solution to all nighters. Putting time and personal touches into your wedding will make it all the more detailed, unique, and inexpensive!
