mine's less than that...

-- photographer is between $1-2k (my mom's paying so i'm not sure exactly how much)

-- video came with my DJ package and is $1k

-- flowers came to a bit under $2k with 3 BM and 10 centerpieces (we negotiated A LOT)

Here is what our final costs were for each:

Photo: $2800 (no parents albums)
Video: $850 (very basic... still haven't gotten it... hmm...)
Florist: $950 (flowers were not important to me - I just did white and purple roses low CPs, only 2 BMs, no throw-bouquet)

we are not doing video

our budget for Photography was $3k and the actual came out to $2800.

Florist - budget is set for $2500 but want to keep it as low as possible.

Yes, yes, and yes. Though the one you'll find most difficult is the Photographer, I think, depending on what you want.

Your budget sounds good. Mine was $5,500 for photo/video combined and $3k for flowers.

It's definitely possible...my photo/video from the same company was 4300, and that's with our album, 2 parent albums, and edited dvds plus raw footage, and our floral bill was 598...we bought our own CP hurricanes and candles, so that price was just personal flowers, if you include the total cost with the CPs and the set-up fee included, it was like 1020. I was definitely proud of my budgeting!

Video you can can get a basic edited tape for around 1k. Flowers, depending on how many centerpeices, you can easily get for 1k and photo you could prob get a basic package from some place for around 2500, but with albums, etc I would say 3-4k is more like it.
