How much did you spend on Wedding Photography

Wow,high outlay...My wedding hasn't been held yet.Maybe I'll be like Rachel to ran away.

I would look around if i were you... i got a package for $1000 that includes an engagement session (profile pic!), a box of proofs from e-session, all day wedding coverage with TWO photographers, full editing, and a cd with all pictures and all the rights to those pictures! (couldn't pass up that deal). check from out of the city, most small town photographers will travel a little bit.

Oh and our photographer is a recent grad in photography, her package was cheaper than the regular because she is building her portfolio, but she really does AMAZING work, so keep an open mind

You should definetly check out the website ppa.com it the professional photographers of america, you can find one in your area. I think $3000 is a lot, there should be an album included. I am hiring a photographer from New Jersey and I am in PA. He is charginh me $750 for 6 hrs, an album, cd with all images, two 12 by 18 printouts, and 25 wallets. Also, I like to scrapbook so having the cd will be a good thing for me. It all depends. I was also quoted $1400 to $1600 for 6 hrs, and neither package included an album. I think the average cost is arond $1500 in my area alone. Keep searching for someone who can give you a great deal. I like my photographer a lot he is great and the pictures look amazing! Good luck!

3,000 but i love his style and he is the best in my area.

This is my photographer.

He is actually a photojournalist with the Roanoke Times and he has covered stories from the war in Afghanistan to VA Tech Football. He really knows how to capture the moments and not necessarily "posed" shots - which I sort of hate. We are paying about $3500 for the day (which includes his travel incidentals since he is coming from Roanoke).

Kelsey I really like the style of your photog.

I am feeling really good about my $995. That's all day coverage! And that wasn't their lowest price package.

I spent $1200 on a package that does not include and album. It included and engagement session, 2 photogs, all day coverage, online gallery, CD with all photos and copyrights to all photos. Photographic guestbook of engagement photos.

We are looking into a photographer that charges $3,200 for 8 hours on wedding day (two photographers), 2 hours of engagement session, basic adjustement to photos afterwards, password protected pictures online, a DVD with all the pictures, and $600 album credit. Yeah it's a lot when you think about it, but we really love their work.

I'm still going to look into other photographers in my area, but I really do not want to go over $3,200.

Actually no, the $3,200 does not cover the $600 album credit, I was looking at 3,800 there for a second.

Oh my! Ours will be $500 but that's one of FH's friends. I know, we are taking the risk but we trust her. She always booked so that must mean she's good. She was done all of FH's friends weddings and they are happy with her work.

I have the copyright photos of my images and my photog is definitely professional, insured, with a large portfolio

It really depends on what you get! I have collections anywhere from $2300 to $9000. Depending on what you're booking, what you want included, etc.

$3000 is a good price though. You should be getting a good photographer for that price.

$3,000 sounds very reasonable for ten hours, plus the engagement photos.

My daughters photographer was on site for six hours. No engagement photos. He charged $1600, although I refused to pay him the final $400 as he failed to take 25% of the agreed upon photos.

Well Im spending about 8,000 on my photographer!! It is all day coverage, 3 photographers, a couple books of photos, a cd with all the pictures, Engagement session, umm... There is a lot actually!!

We spent about $3k plus...I can't say it was worth it.

Do your homework. Read all the reviews. Even if you are wowed by that photographer, do not succumb to good salesmanship or presentation.

Definitely keep researching and interviewing at least 5 photographers. It is totally worth the time and investment to make sure you have the right photographer for you.

Tacoma, WA - $800 for 2 photographers all day (10 hrs) with rights to photos... Haven't used him yet, but his portfolio looked good and liked him when we met him, so we'll see

Www.dalyarrival.com They are awesome and they travel

Total we paid close to 6K. Album (a great album) and a canvas, plus 890 pics on a DVD. He was worth every penny! he did the TTD shoot the night before and was with us from aroun 2pm to close to midnight the day of the wedding. Plus he flew from Canada to Cabo.
