Good photographers aren't cheap. They have to take expensive art-photography classes to begin, and have to buy and maintain some real expensive equipment.
If you want "cheap" see if each of you friends can donate a digital camera. Place one on each row of seats, along with a note inviting the guests to shoot their own pictures of the wedding. After the ceremony, collect the cameras, change the memory cards, and do the same thing at the reception. You can then collect the memory cards and use any PC to edit and collect the best shots.
Good luck.

My friend couldnt afford a photographer at her wedding but what she did do was buy those inexpensive single use cameras and got people to use them to take photos of the wedding before handing them back. She got them developed and used them along with photos that friends and family had taken using their digital cameras.
Just an idea you could think about because normally cheap photographers mean youre photos will probably not turn out the way you think, cheap usually doesnt mean good.

Check and see if you have "Wedding Chapels" or Wedding services listed in the yellow pages in your area. Call them all, ask the lowest price for doing a full wedding at the church and reception. If those prices are too high, ask what they would charge for wedding only with the formal shots. The formal shots are really the only ones that you need a professional for. All the reception pictures and pre- wedding shots can be done by friends and relatives with good digital cameras. Take them all, edit them, and you'll have a good album. However the formals need to be posed. 8-10 shots would give you a selection.
Finally, if none of that works, call a photography studio, like SEARS. Arrange for formal photographs of you and your husband at their studio wearing your gown and his tux. This will give you very good pictures of the bride and groom for the wall of your house. Don't go into big debt for photographs by the dozen, you will really only enjoy that one really good one on the wall.
I owned wedding chapel/photography studio for ten years in California. 15,000 wedding, so I have some experience.

I am sorry about the MS thing, my partner has undergone all of the testing and it was quite a scare.
Anyway, I have found that passing out inexpensive disposable cameras to the guests is an awesome idea. If you cant afford one for every guest, select a few people that are special to you. Include black and white cameras.
You will get the most interesting shots, and I think that unposed pics are the best ones. You get all of the emotions from all different angles.
I dont think you will be dissapointed.
Good luck on your special day :)

Spend a little on a decent digital camera (i got a panasonic for $80 with a free memory card thing from circuit city) and give it to someone in your family to use. That could be their gift to you- they can take tons of photos and just don't print out the bad ones.
It's surprising how many people are good at taking pictures- i'm not but my daughter takes some amaqzing photos with that camera.
Just make sure they know how to use it and not delete by accident. Take it to a walgreens or walmart to print out the pics.

Buy a decent digital camera and pass it around between family and friends. You will get a more true representation of the event than posed pics. Plus there is so much memory in these things now you will have 100's of pics to choose from to remember your day.

Karen, why have you ever asked this thrice? I 2d Revb's suggestion. verify with an area college or college. Have the professors advise a experienced photos student.
