How much did you pay for a photographer?

I'm paying $1500 for 8 hours and that includes 40 prints at 8x10 size or smaller, CD with full printing rights, online gallery, engraved photo album with online graphic assistance and thank you cards.

$4,500 photos&video

I am paying $650.00 for Engagement Photos,Wedding Day Coverage for 7 hours, Two Photographers, A disc of other 300 pictures and Printing rights.

I was very lucky to find her and I am very happy with her work.

We are also using a friend, and he is giving us a good price. We are paying $2000 for unlimited photos, engagement shoot, and CDs/rights to the photos. He will also create our books for us at cost. My cousin paid $6000 for her photo/video and hated everything. I feel like we made a good choice

That's a great price I paid $2,500 for our pics

@2200 for all day with 2 photographers, photo booth and engagement session and it includes all the rights and copies of the photos on a dvd.

Prices range alot but from what I learned, most under $1000 are not worth it. Before you agree with it, meet with a couple others to get the vibe- don't settle for a friend to save a few bucks- photography is the one aspect you will still have 10 years down the line- so save money elsewhere. Also, has your friend ever done a wedding before? There is a flow a photographer needs to have for it to run smoothly. They can be the person moving things along on time. And whatever you do get a contract with every detail about what they promise you to avoid any problems down the line.

We are using FH friend - he's charging us 2K and this includes all day coverage....he did offer engagement photos but we took so many photos on our cruise last year we said we don't need that.....and rights to all photos on a CD after he edits them....to me that was a fair price considering how much other people are paying. Definitely have a signed contract so there is no miscommunication.

$750 for the photographer and assitant for 4.5 hrs in Upstate NY....but I will definitely be increasing the amount of time I have her for, as I don't want to feel rushed to get pics done the day of....so I'm looking to spend $11-1200 for the 6.5/7 hours. The price includes the photos on a CD and all print rights. I found my photographer (who comes with high reviews) here on WW

$2500. This includes, E-session w/CD of all photo's, 2 photog's ALL day, 2 books for parents, 1 Fine art book, a LOT of prints, and of course a CD... we got a great deal. We had a $100 coupon (yes coupon!), and we also recieved a $300 discount for being a Friday wedding. Woot!

$2200 for 2 Photographers for a full day, Engagement session, 30 Page Photo Album, Flush mount guest book. I definitely feel I am getting what I am paying for as I got to see her work when I met with her and its well worth the price.

If she is good and is willing to do it and you feel comfortable with having a friend do it, then go for it! but please still have an agreement and make sure you write down you paid her, I know a lot of people who used a "friend" and things got messy as for the price $800 is a good price, defiantly would ask for a CD with all the prints and maybe ask to throw in a e-session?

The package I'm looking at is - $3000 for 8 hours continuous coverage (1 photographer)

DVD of all edited high-res photos (minimum 400 pics) Private online gallery for downloading + sharing and add an e-session for $250.

2160 for all day coverage in philly

$4,600 for unlimited wedding day coverage. 3 photographers with multiple location shots. 2hr engagement photo session. Comes with a photobooth for our reception a DVD of all our prints and 60 pro retouched images. We thought it was a good deal

$2000 includes bridals and unlimited day of

That's for 2 photographers. I hired a cinetographer unlimited day of for $2800

1,000 for 8 hours of coverage and a CD of all images as well as about 15 prints. We got a deal at the bridal show.

Edit- $3500 (left out the big number, lol)

two photographers for nine hours. He also came to my rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.

If I want all the photos, that will be an extra $1000

This was in west virginia.

Around $2200 for 2 photogs for the entire day. FH gets one with him and i get the principle photog with me.

1100$ Includes some prints *don't have my contract on me so I have to double check how many* All rights to the images, all images edited, I get her for the ENTIRE day from when we are getting ready to the ceremony to the reception until everyone goes home. This price also included our engagement photo session, and there is a possibility of getting a second photographer (depends on if her friend gets booked that day or not, but it would be at no extra cost to us)

$650 for 4 hours, a CD of touched-up photos and a CD of original photos, rights to all photos, a youtube video, and a photo book
