Photographer Prices?

Shannon, on September 19, 2017 at 17:23 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 17
Hey ladies!What is the average price for a photographer? I found one who's style of photography I absolutely LOVE but a bit out of my budget for $2500 for 6 hours. Is that average or too expensive?

    I got a deal for 1300 included engagement pictures and full day of wedding. He was there when we needed him and he brought an assistant without charging extra. Amazing guy and professional.

    We paid 2700 for 8 hrs. And shes amazing !!!!! Her photos are professional and I thought it was worth the price tag. Considering Ive seen portfolios of more expensive photographers, I thought our photographer was worth every penny!!!
    She might travel. Check out Focca Photography! She does great work!

    Rachel Patterson Photography... She did a phenomenal job on our engagement photos and shes done a couple other friends weddings as well. Really impressed with her work. Shes based out of the Fraser Valley, but i dont know if she does any travel. She might?

    We are paying $3900 for 2 photographers, for up to 10 hours. In our package, we also receive a custom photo album, unlimited photos, a USB with all of our photos, and unlimited consultations. It is expensive, but it was worth it for us as it was the one super important thing for me - the photos are what you always look back on to remember your day. Also, our photographers are a husband and wife team, who are so amazing, I got such a good vibe from the moment I first spoke to them, so that helped with the decision for sure.

    Our photographer has an hourly rate of $400. We've booked her from 5-9, then I added her second shooter for $500. So a total of $ 2,100.00 - it took up a lot of our budget but it's worth it because she's amazing. I'll never hear the end of it from my fiance though Smiley xd

    We are paying $3400 for our package but that includes an unlimited amount of time and a second photographer for the ceremony. And since we are having an early ceremony (11am) and are having and grand exit (10pm) the unlimited time was a HUGE decision maker. It's looking like our photographer will be working for about 16ish hours on our wedding day. So, the $3400 didn't seem that bad for us.
    In my opinion, if you absolutely love them, it's worth it. Those pictures are one of the only physical things that come out of your wedding day.

    We are paying roughly around $3200 for 8-10 hours of photography with two shooters which also included a 2 hour engagement session; one being the professional and the other being his student. I wouldn't look on kijiji for a photographer.... but that's just my opinion.

    We're paying $260.00 for 3 hours of photography with a minimum of 150 shots up to 200 shots. I really had to search for this one. Found him on Kijiji and checked out his website as well as called several references.

    We paid $2600 for 6 hours. She was amazing and we do not regret the decision. We are blown away by our photos. My biggest bit of advice is that if having great photos is important to you, it is so worth it to get an experienced professional and someone whose style and personality match your own. We cannot stop gushing about how much we loved our photographer Laura Clarke. Best decision and definitely worth it.

    I was given 2 quotes:
    -$800 for an amateur photographer for 4 hours
    -$1500 for 5 hours on wedding day and engagement package by a proffessional.
    The photo quality was incomparable between the 2 so we went with the $1500 package. It was easily the cheapest i found by hundreds of dollars in the proffessional realm.
    I Personally think $2600 is too much to pay for 6 hours, (im really cheap) but it doesnt seam unreasonable compared to other prices i have seen out there.
