Hi, Guest
if you want a wacky touch, invest in a decent camera, find a willing family member that wants to assist (and who is fairly camera-proficient) and do them yourself.
The more my wife looks at our photos, the happier she is that we did it all ourselves. We also did our own videography, and considering we did it straight-up with a MiniDV cam on a tripod with no extras... it was phenomenal.
Of course, YMMV. This route is far from ideal for everyone. I had a brother-in-law to be and his partner that were happy to work the digicams and video camera for us all weekend. We captured the girls running around shopping prior to the big day, their adventure at the hair salon and everything up to the end of the reception. By "captured" I mean 2 hours of video prior to the wedding ceremony of shopping, our rehersal at the church the night prior, etc.
Of course, we got snaps and footage of the honeymoon, but that's not coming out to the public eye anytime soon :D ;)
