Let's be honest, weddings can get expensive and we are all looking for ways to be creative with our weddings.

1. Have all your family & friends contribute

2. DIY - Take shifts
Ask friends specifically ones who have iPhone 10’s to “take slots” being the videographer (4pm-4:30pm; 4:30-5:00pm)have one friend set up phone voice memo recording (bff role!)Send to pro editor to complete
