A few updates:
First off, we managed to finally find an officiant available on our wedding date, for a reasonable price. I actually found her on Craigslist of all places! Her name is Anne, and she's the "Rev for Whatev", and she seems pretty cool. When we told her we are students doing a wedding on tiny budget, she opened up her "elopement" option, which is only $150. We'll pick from one of her standard ceremonies, and it will be a nice, short secular ceremony. She's done tons of weddings and civil ceremonies, and seems to be a really accepting and respectful of people's beliefs (or lack therof).
Second, on Craigslist, while browsing the "Events" section, I found a photographer who is building her portfolio, and offered to do photos for free. We're meeting with her at the end of the month. Her name is Natallia, and she seems really nice and excited to be shooting a wedding. I actually found a lot of student photographers or photographers just starting out who were willing to do wedding photography for really cheap. I know that we might be taking a risk, but I like the idea of helping someone out at the same time they are doing me a service. And the photos of hers that I have seen are really nice.
