Wedding Photography Prices Guide – How to Set Your Photography Budget
Author: Cori Russell
How much does professional photography cost for your wedding? Learn how to set a realistic photography budget with this guide to wedding photography prices and rates. The Going Rate for Professional Photography When determining your wedding photography budget, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. You should expect to spend at least $1000 on having a professional wedding photographer document your wedding (not including the actual prints and other extras). Rates, of course, will vary depending on skill level, experience and geographic region (metro areas are usually considerably higher). The size of your wedding can also affect the photography cost, as additional guests may increase the amount of time that the photographer must spend at your event. For instance, for an event of less than 100 guests, a wedding photographer will typically dedicate four-six hours of time. For a larger wedding of 300 or more guests, a photographer may have to spend eight-ten hours on the job. Comparing Photographer Rates Most wedding photographers will give general pricing information over the phone or on their websites, so you can use an initial online search or phone call as your first step towards finding a photographer that suits your budget. In comparing photography costs, remember that different photographers offer different packages - so initial rates can be misleading. Some rates only include the photographer's time, while prints and albums are extra. Other photography packages may include proofs, a set number of prints and an album. Determine what services and options you want first, then compare photographers' rates for providing those specific options to determine which professional works within your wedding photography budget. This article offers even more tips on comparing professional photography services. Creative Ways to Save on Wedding Photography Prices If you simply must have a certain photographer who commands higher rates, consider these ways to save on your photography budget: Buy a more basic wedding photography package with less prints and albums Negotiate and switch out an engagement portrait for an additional parent's album Get even more ways to save on wedding photography prices . Photography Contract Points When reviewing your contract with a potential photographer, make sure that it is specifically clear in what it covers. Consider these questions: Do you need to make a deposit? What is the cancellation policy? Will you get anything back? Is any travel time considered an extra or included in the bill? Are you entitled to final prints only, or can you obtain all of the proofs? Now that you're an expert on photography costs and budgeting skills, this complete guide to wedding photography will take you the rest of the way towards hiring and working with a photographer and planning your wedding day shots.
