yes

maybe something small as well if you are sentimental, a keepsake

yes, if you are *the* photographer, and not asking for money.

i think so... are you giving them the album / photos for free too? then *definitely*... otherwise, maybe throw in one big picture

it should be

she asked me to be "the photographer" because she couldn't afford one (which is cool and all) it's just new ground to me

yes

well if she asked you then she should not expect a present but I would make the intention clear that it is your gift to them

it's a gift even if you are not a pro. You spend way more time than the guests, and you won't have time to eat or drink or enjoy

if I were to ask a friend to do it, even if he's not a pro, I'd be giving him a gift for doing it

how large is the wedding? We put disposable cameras at the tables at my friends reception with a note and asked everyone to use the cameras

up during the reception and turn them in at the bar when finished for a free drink on the bride and groom for helping capture their

special day. Worked great and the cameras were only about $5 each

The costs of a typical wedding and getting married do not in anyway correlate. If you are not a professional it is a favour and not a gift.

I would give a nice photo album or some small gift/keepsake.
