How much is too much?

How much is too much?

So me and my FH went through all of those budget calculators and stuff to find out how much should be spent on each thing, etc....,over the weekend.

Pictures mean more to me then just about anything in my wedding (just about anything, because happiness, friends, etc mean more). So according to the wedding budget I'm more then double what I should be spending on a photographer. I decided not to have a videographer b/c that's not important and I'm compromising other part of my budget, but I'm curious to see how much different people are spending for photography.
It's so confusing with the whole wedding thing b/c how many people actually have ooddles of experience in it to make decisions and not think they are totally over paying....
Any thoughts?

Re: How much is too much?

budget calculators can be helpful but I know for us we were way over in some areas, and way under on others...you really just need to prioritize things for yourself....as long as your basically in your overall budget, and you're comfortable with it, it's ok!

Re: How much is too much?

I budget on what is imp't to me. I got just enough with photo package- not the most imp't to me. Limos - basic cost. impt' to me were hotel for OOT and wknd activities and the RH- which is obviously where most of budget goes.

also my dress is imp't to me.

everything else- flowers, limo, music- i knew approx what i wanted to spend and stuck to it as best i can

my problem is the $50-$60 here or there for this little extra and that little extra that i want- that will add up
