Made you swipe? ⁠ ⁠ Let’s talk about one of Made you swipe? ⁠ ⁠ Let’s talk about one of the biggest stress points in wedding planning. Photography and budget.⁠ ⁠ If you’re planning your wedding on a tight budget but still want photos you’ll treasure for decades, this is for you.⁠ ⁠ This isn’t generic advice. We spoke to real, in-the-field Australian wedding photographers about what photography actually costs, where you can be flexible, what’s worth prioritising, and what doesn’t matter as much as you think.⁠ ⁠ There are smart ways to approach it. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.⁠ ⁠ If you want beautiful coverage and financial peace of mind, the full guide is live on Polka Dot Wedding. Link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: a navy background with text that reads: "How to Get Great Wedding Photography on a Tight Budget," with the Polka Dot Wedding logo sitting at the bottom centre.⁠ ⁠ Image two description: The same graphic with the text "The biggest secret? Timing and flexibility".⁠ ⁠ Image three description: A final image with the same background, reads "Look at weekdays or quieter times when you might naturally score a better rate – we're talking potential savings of 10-20% for weekday weddings and 5-15% for wedding celebrations."]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #WeddingVendors #WeddingCosts
