Photographer quote

OK ... not sure about this. I received a quote for $2,800.00 for 7 hours worth of coverage and a high resolution CD that contains about 1,100 images (and I have copyrights to). Is this good ... bad..

Re: Photographer quote

  • That is a good price, very average. How is the work?
  • That sounds about average for a professional photographer. Price can vary based on what part of the country you are in. If you are in a major city that is an excellent rate. What is more important though, is when you look at their photographs, do you feel that their skills & image quality is worth your $2800?
  • It really depends on your area.  Rates are going to be higher in a big city than they are in a small town (usually).  
    I paid 1,500 for my photographer for 8 hours, plus a cd with the edited photos on a cd.  Around here, they are the one of the lowest priced photographers with a good amount of experience.  Other quotes I got were up to 3,500.  

    I think you could find one for cheaper, but if you are happy with their work and have the money in your budget, go for it.

    I'd say that's a bit expensive for nothing but the hours and photos here in CT. Do you get an engagement session? An album? Are any of the pictures edited? 
  • I'm paying $2300- for 8 hours day of- a photo booth(the photographers do this)- engagement pics(I got about 45 edited images) and I will get 800 of the day of pics- she made our guest book- and we get a 10x10 leather wedding album.
