    It will really depend on where you are on what the going rate is but even then there is such a large range. Photography was the most important thing for me so I knew that I was willing to splurge a bit.

    2,800 for 8 hours day of, engagement photos and travel fee for the wedding included.

    I have gotten my engagement photos back and I have to say I am even more secured in that I chose the right photographer for our day. I spent many hours looking and narrowing down our options. I was very specific in the style that I wanted.

    I'm shoreline CT and have been quoted **** from different vendors for what we want. Sadly the 1600 guy went MIA. I meet with the man I think we're settling on tomorrow. He's $2200 for 7 hrs, album & copyright release.

    I found a groupon package for $400 for 8 hours. It only comes with one photographer and a cd with the digital copies of the photos, and they'll have little watermarks in the corners, but hey. $400 for a fantastic photographer. I did my engagement shoot with this photographer (for $150) and she's amazing and with all the money we save from this means she's gonna get an amazing tip!

    400.00 would scare the piss outta me, and keep in mind that an engagement shoot is nothing like a wedding shoot.

    I was quoted $4k for two shooters, 10 hours, digital files, album, etc.. the engagement shoot will be an extra $500. It's the first place I went so I will need to shop around a bit, but this seems to be pretty standard for a good photographer in the Long Island, NY area.

    Rachel, that should tell you something. I cannot fathom settling on a wedding photographer, maybe re-examining your criteria would make for a more worthwhile investment.

    $3000 for two photographers for the entire wedding day, I loved the pictures, and after all is said and done, they're all I have left. So worth it. I recommend spending as much as you can possibly afford.
