Wedding Photography – how much should I pay?

A lot of couples ask us this question. It can be confusing because there is such a wide range of prices out there – from free to well over ten thousand dollars. How can anyone know where to start?

The first thing a couple needs to decide is how important photography is to them. If they would be happy with some decent quality snapshots, then finding someone looking to start a portfolio or a friend who dabbles with photography would probably be fine.

If taking this approach, it is important to keep expectations at a sensible level. Don’t expect to see the same quality as you see at the on-line wedding sites or in your friend’s albums. Also, because the low cost photographers tend to be lacking in backup equipment, there is always the risk that parts of the day (or even most of the day) will be missing.

For some couples, photography is the most important thing and they are prepared to pay a large sum to have their wedding covered by one of the top photographers. They can rest assured they will get great images, a better wedding day experience and bragging rights for years to come.

We find that most couples fit somewhere between these two extremes. They want to have great images and albums to remember their wedding day, but are on a limited budget. Most of our clients pay between $2,000 and $3,500 for their wedding photography – a price point we believe is a good balance of value vs. quality.
