Wedding photography does not come cheap but it is one expense that you cannot ignore. With modern technology, especially the use of drones, wedding cinematography has become a piece of art and everyone wants a slice of it.

The secret to having a great wedding is to plan in advance and get your priorities right. Once you have done that, half the battle is won. Now you need to draw up a budget for each head of expenditure and try to negotiate with vendors to keep it within the budget. Adding to the expenses without any control on the budget will leave you in tears by the time the event is over and neck-deep in debt.
It is best to take stock of your savings and your liquid investments that you may have planned to spend on your wedding. It is always good to start saving very early for your wedding if you have some dreams in mind to avoid feeling disappointed later. Once you know the funds you have in hand, you can try and apply for the maximum marriage loan possible.

The wedding will be over in a couple of days and the guests will return home but indiscriminate spending will leave you holding the debt baby for a long time to come.
