Price

This is usually a big factor when hiring a photographer. The rates for wedding photographers in our area range from $1,000.00 - $7,000.00, depending on the hours of coverage and the number of photographers for your wedding. When you hire a photographer, it’s a good idea to consider their experience, talent and their reputation. Good wedding photographers are able to get amazing shots in very stressful situations. This ability is often factored into their prices.


Your initial low price becomes much more than you anticipated.

When looking at their packages, don’t be fooled by an initial low price. Many photographers make their money off “hidden fees”, so ask if you have to purchase a certain dollar amount of reprints. Also, ask if you get to keep all of the proofs and the negatives or digital files. Some photographers make you pay for those, so your initial low price becomes much more than you anticipated.

Remember, it is YOUR day. There are many ways to get a great photographer for your wedding. You should be able to find a professional photographer who will take great shots without becoming a nuisance to you or your guests.
