Photographers know they "have you by the short ones" If you just have a friend take the pics and they come out terrible you will listn to it for as long as you are married. If you and your significant other want pictures , pay the professional. Remember he (or she) is a professional and that is how they make their living. The cake, dress,food etc is a one time thing. The pictures can be looked at for years to come. Of course that could be good or bad.
