So I've done a lot of research and have gotten a lot of rates from photographers and videographers but there's this one person who does both!!! He says that his starting package is at $2,400. What do you ladies think?

    Photographer 4900 (this includes a $900 print credit)

    Videographer 2500 (and that's for a very basic package) I searched long and hard for a videographer who would deliver something I liked for less than $3000. Most were way more than that. If they're cheap, there is usually a reason for that!

    Photography was more of a priority for us. We actually chose our photographer before we chose our venue. We would have liked to chose a cheaper photo package, but with the print credit this one worked out to be a much better deal. Ideally I would have liked to pay a little more for a better video package and less for photo if we could. But I trust my photographer completely. I can't put a price on that.

    That sounds like a really good price! For $1800 we get 2 photographers for 9 hours. For $1800 we get 2 videographers the whole day with a highlight video, trailer, full ceremony, and speeches. I'm going to pay another $200 for boudoir photos from our photographer (shh!).

    I thought I was going to end up spending $3000 for JUST a photographer and had kind of resigned myself to it when we found our miracle girl yesterday.

    My photographer is $5100 for 2 photographers for 10-12 hours plus engagement photos and an album. We aren't doing a videographer unless we come up with the extra cash and after seeing some of the videos posted here, I might need to come up with the cash...

    We got photography for $1,700 which included 2 shooters for 7 hours, full print rights, travel, no engagement photos. We got videography for $1,810 which included 1 shooter for 6 hours, 2nd shooter for 3 hours, 60-minute feature film, 10-minute highlight film, travel, and all raw footage. I think we got a great deal because most of the other vendors we looked at were going to be around $6,000 for both photo and video, and I only went $10 over budget!
