While I agree with most of what rodney said I'd like to touch on two things

(remember I run a wedding board so I hear lots of wedding day horror stories)

ditch the disposable camera idea, it most cases you really wont get what you want and you'll end up with mostly pictures of the ceiling and/or floor, or of the guests and not that many of you.

check out your local colleges that have photography students, most of those will do it for almost nothing, if not nothing, to be able to start working on their portfolio. We were lucky in the sense that dave had a cousin wanting to get into wedding photography and he did the entire thing (developing and all) for free so that he could use us a reference and get practice. If you know someone with a video camera (and you dont have the budget for a videographer) ask them to video the day for you. Dave's best friend, who does music video production and another close friend, who films for the history channel set up 2 cameras in the church and one wore a steady cam almost the whole time....but it was free for us as a wedding gift.

I disagree that it "shouldnt be a fantasy" Dave and I managed to have our fantasy wedding for under 5k and that included the honeymoon....and I do mean that included everything. It IS possible to have a fantasy wedding on a budget....fantasy does not have to equal 10's of thousands of dollars.
