We’ve decided to have my fiance’s younger sister be our wedding photographer.  She’s still in highschool, but she’s done some great work before and has even done a wedding or two.  We’re completely confident that she’ll do a great job and although we’re still planning on paying her for her services, it’s definitely saving us a lot of money as well.

From our budgeting perspective, having her as our photographer is much more valuable to us than having her as one of our bridesmaids, but I think from her point of view, being a bridesmaid sounds better than being the photographer.

So here’s my question: What are some ideas of things we can do for her to make her feel special and let her know how much we appreciate her being our photographer?

have her shoot your e-pictures and the make an album with her work. I would also frame pictures she took of you and keep it a secret.

 or instead of money as payment you can buy her a new camera?

Maybe she could have a special task at the rehearsal dinner or at the reception – give a toast, say a prayer, or make an announcement, or you could publicly thank her at one of those events.  And you could also invite her along with your bridesmaids where appropriate on any events you have with them.  That might make her feel like a special part of your inner circle.
