Wedding photographer

I am shocked at the amount of money that a photographers are asking!

Re: Wedding photographer

  • Photography is expensive. Consider it an investment. It's the only thing you will be able to look back at that captured the day. I hear it goes by so fast it is all a blur. I want to have killer pics and I'm willing to pay for it. Our photography is 3 grand for 8 hours.

  • Photography was something that was very important to me. I knew that once I found the perfect photographer that I would pay over what we had orginally budgeted. As PP said this is the one thing you will have to look back on.

    This is similar to our situation. Our photographer worked as a second shooter for a couple places and is now finishing school obtaining a business degree so his own photography can really take off. He is extremely talented, and we got a really good deal since his business isn't actually started yet (we found him through FI's old coworker). 1700 for 8 hrs and all rights. I agree that it is something worth splurging on.

  • We found a budget friendly photographer, whose style we loved.  She's doing this as a side job currently, but we got all day coverage, engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and the rights to all of the pictures for $1200

  • No kidding!  I was looking around here for some time and couldn't find anyone who started for less than $3200 and that included almost nothing.  I was starting to get really worried, until my friend got married in CT.  Her photographer was amazing and it was cheaper for me to hire her to come from CT, pay for gas and hotel and photography, than it was to hire someone around here.  Crazy!

  • Ours is $1000, but it's a friend of my FI, and he was already invited to the wedding, so he's doing it as a favor to us.  We had asked a family friend who is the son-in-law of the gentleman who did all my siblings weddings, but he was $1800 and that was for ceremony and before pics only, not reception.
