Joseph Merk has been behind the lens for more than fifty years capturing all of the expected not-to-be-missed wedding formalities, as well as the reception festivities and various "candid" moments. In today's tough economy, the pricetag that accompanies this service is often more of a turn-off than anything. In recent years, Joseph Merk decided to branch out from his traditional wedding album offerings, and provide some rather unique alternatives, at economy-friendly costs.

AlacartEconomy's website offers numerous packages, all of which ring in under $1,000.00. These wedding photo packages are different from the norm in that they offer the newly-weds a means by which they control their own costs, often-times cutting out the biggest cost of all- the wedding photographer. Couples often opt for (or nix) various wedding commodities, based on their budget. Wedding photos are not as optional to most bride-to-be's as flowers, decor, and party favors. In fact, of all the wedding must-have's, it's the photos that have the longest shelf-life, sometimes outlasting the vows that are promised at the ceremony. It's not just the first-time newly weds with little-to-no cash that are lured in to a low-cost, no-frills wedding photo option. For the second, third, and maybe even fourth-time partners-to-be, the low cost of photos sometimes has more allure than the fake flowers, or the tacky table cloths.
