Okay, so I need to ask a serious question is paying a photographer $1,000 for 8hours of photos on the wedding day and for engagement photos prior a good call? I just don’t know what is “too much” to spend on photography.

    As long as you like her style, portfolio, work ethic, etc., definitely a good call! $1,000 is very reasonable. Mine is $2,000 for 10 hours with two shooters and even that is probably considered reasonable, especially in comparison to other areas. I say you've got yourself a steal! Good luck 😊❤️

    That’s an unreal price, especially if she’s a professional. For reference, we’re paying $4k for 9 hours and two photographers (with a couple extra additions) in So Cal. If you’ve seen full albums of hers that you like, I’d say go for it. Make sure you have a contract in place; definitely don’t go ahead with a vendor without a contest, regardless of price and relationship to you.

    That's a really good deal! I'm paying $1000 for 6 hours of photography and a 1-hour engagement session, and I thought that was a good deal for me. I'd say go for it, but definitely make sure you see their portfolio and that you like their style first!

    $1000 is a great price. Just make sure you like her work and that she has experience photographing weddings, and that you get everything included that you want as far as a gallery/downloads/images/prints/etc. all outlined.

    That is an amazing deal. I’m paying 2.5k for 10 hours 2 photographers and a videographer, along with drone footage. I also had to pay 600$ extra for my engagement session. So 3.1k in total. If you like their work and they have good reviews I’d definitely book them.

    That’s a really good deal if you’ve seen their work and know it’s good. I’m paying $1500 for the same time frame and engagement shoot, and that’s cheap in my area.

    That’s awesome! I’m going with a photographer who has been at it for a couple years now. I love her work and I think she’s about to take off to where she’ll be charging even more this next year. I’ve seen a lot of people going with newer photographers who have quality work and getting a good price.
