check your front end see if anythings loose..make sure your tires are balanced..check if wheels arent bent...if the wobble is only during braking its most likly your rotors

Really it could be anything. If it shakes when the brakes arent applied, then its most likely not the brakes all by themsleves, unsless youve dropped the car on the rotors, and negected to tell us that. I say ythat because they would have to be warped very bad to cuase a shake when not braking.

I would lift the front of the car up and check for play in the steering and suspension. If its tight check the balance on the wheels. If the wheels are out of balance and you notice the shake is gone while drivng, but not when braking then its a rotor isssue. More than likly youll be better of just replacing the rotors, in that case. Since there only like 20 a piece.

Hope all that helps.

rotors are cheap, probably about the same cost as an alignment. start with that. i still have a brake-shake in my car. i think my steering wheel is loose; i can move it up and down a bit. maybe rack-end bushing?

No vibration is alignment related, It might be a alignment related part. But a alignment will NEVER FIX A VIBRATION. Start were i said, trust me i work in a garage every day. If you do it the way i said you'll Save alot of money and time.
