How many photos...

Just putting this out there but how many photos on an average is for a wedding for 4 hours?  Curious to see how many photos people have received from their professional photographer of how many photos they took.

</div><div>I received what amounts to just under 100 photos/hour.  I'm quite sure the photographer took more, but he weeded out the unflattering ones.  I'd focus on quality, not quanity though.

Don't worry so much about the quantity but focus on quality. I much rather get 50 great photos pero hour than 200 crappy ones. Our Photographer was there for the full day (about 11 hours), he had and assistant and a second shooter and I got around 500 pictures. I don't think they missed anything and I am extremely happy with the outcome.

I got around 875 with three shooters (this was the whole day 8+ hour though, not just the reception).  My photographer said she probably shot over 1,000.

Is your photographer bringing an assistant/second shooter?  If so, that will increase the number of photos.

Anyway, for 4 hours... I would say that 300-500 photos would be what to expect. But as other people said-- quality over quantity. Be wary of a photographer who promises hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of shots!
