I was wondering what the average cost of a photographer is? I found d this great couple to take pictures and a great wedding package, but its 3500. Is that way too much? How much did you spend?

    It depends on your budget, and obviously who is available in your area, my fiancée and I got two photographers for eight hours for 1800

    Around here, not sure where you’re located but we are in Rhode Island. Period. Prices are around the same I would talk to them And talk about wiggle room depending on what you need or want and maybe you guys can create your own package that works with you I know a lot of photographers do do that but to be honest I think that’s a good price we are paying a chunk less Than that, granted this is a friend of my father-in-law— But for what you are getting in that package I would say go for it

    I think that’s a good deal. We paid $3,000. We didn’t get all day, but we did get 8 hours. An album wasn’t included with our package either.

    We have 2 photographers all day for about 2200. I think that's around average for my area. It really depends on where you are.

    It really depends on the photographer. I would look around more as some are affordable and not all of them have pages here. Check instagram with a hashtag of your state and photographer or something. Also, email them because they have their prices listed but may offer a different deal if you are having a small wedding.

    It honestly depends on your location, the photographer and their experience. We only paid $1200 for our photographer and we get full day coverage and access to all digital images for our own use. She's been working for a long time but she's not like a "big time" photographer in our area. A girl who I went to school with is now extremely popular in our area and charges somewhere around $5,000+ for the same package and (in my opinion) her pictures aren't really any better compared to our photographer 🤷 just do your research and check out the portfolios to see who's style you like the best and what's in your budget.

    We had 1 photographer for 7 hours for $2200. We got a usb but couldn’t do engagement photos with him since we live out of state.

    It depends on the photographer, their level of experience, they're equipment, etc. There's a big level where you get what you pay for, but you can also find really great photographers who are just starting out at a fraction of the cost. I was really lucky, and I've got my photographer for $900. She's amazing, and I even recommended her to my best friend who's getting married as well!

    Like pp's said i think it depends on the area. The package that they are giving you is a good deal for 2 photographers and no hour limit!? Thats pretty cool. Im paying 1300 for 8hrs, editing, engagement or bridal session, prints and usb, with a wedding album. I'm trying to decided if we may need more hours.

    I'm paying about 1,000 more to include Videography and a package very close to what you listed, but only 1 photographer I don't think that's to crazy if you love the photography style. that's why I went with mine.
