XPost: Just got more money, now need limo and photos?

Many of you know we are on a VERY small budget. We were at the point of having to leave limos and a photographer out. At the very least I was thinking of possibly just having a photographer for a photo shoot between the church and reception.

But we now have an extra $2500. YAY!!!!

So my bridal party consists of:
1 MOH
1 BridesM
1 BestM
1 GM
1 Junior GM
1 FG
1 RB

2 Moms
1 Dad

Will have to transport them plus 2 spouses and 1 Aunt, so need transportation for 15 total.

Need suggestions on Photographer and Limo company who can work within that budget ($2500 between the two).

With a photographer, what should I be looking for? I am thinking getting my pics on a disc, and not getting albums until after, correct? Also, I love photjournalisim style, but FH likes the traditional.

And don't know how to work timing for limos.
-Church is at 3. Reception is 7pm-12am. Would like to be at RH by 6:30.
-FH will be getting ready 15 minutes from the church. I will be the same distance.
-If at all possible I would like to have the limo do a pick up for us after the reception as well. I know some companys provide a comp pickup to the airport for the HM, but we would not need that.

Please, please PLEASE help with suggestions on companys and types of packages we should be looking for from this very tight budget bride!

Thanks so much!!!!

definitely contact my photographer... www.nickgphoto.com ... you can see more recent work on www.myspace.com/nickgphoto

i believe he charges around 1k... free e-shoot, all pics on a high res cd, will make albums if you ask him to, and stays for unlimited time throughout the day

I will check out www.nickgphoto.com; thanks!

I tried talking to FH about alternatives to a Limo; but my FIL are SNOBS and were giving him a hard time about it,

I tiold him if they were SO CONCERNED they should chip in for one. The only contribution to date was personalized mints.
