Photographer price range

What is the general price range for a photographer for about 8 hours of coverage, including a picture package, edits, etc?? We are trying to book one asap since we are 6 months out (short engagement) and I see prices and think well, that could be reasonable but maybe its expensive. We just need to book one quick since we are short on time, but I don't want to sacrifice quality for time constraints.   

Thanks! :)

    This can vary based on a lot of factors:
    -Location (Major city/Small town)
    -Skill/Experience of the photographer
    -Package contents

    A professional photographer can range anywhere from 2k to 10k respectively. 
    Where are you located and how important is the photography to you?

    Prices vary depending on location. Even then, the prices vary a lot- it's very much a get what you pay for business with the exception of the rare up-and-coming photographer who is building their own business.

    In the Boston area, which is where I am located, average starting packages are between $1500 and $4k.

    Ask your local board- ask them what they paid for their photographer.

    I agree with PPs. Prices were about $1K to even $10K here in San Francisco.

    I wish I could find someone with little experience for $1,000. I'm probably going with someone who has only done two weddings, and she wants $1800. It's making me die inside.

    A $1000 day of coverage will probably be a few hours of service and maybe a DVD of some pictures. You need to look at PPA and WPPI websites to look for professionals, or if you love a friend's picture from their wedding ask who they hired. Call the photographers and have them send you something to see what packages are offerred. Best of luck!
