Re: How much does your Photographer cost?

$3500 for both photo and video, which ended up being quite reasonable considering quotes we received from some other vendors.

Re: How much does your Photographer cost?

Around $5000 but we are getting a lot. We decided the one place we would not skimp was photos since they last forever.

Re: How much does your Photographer cost?

Much more than I thought it would. With taxes, it's a little over $6000 and that's not including video (probably another $4500-5000). This wedding is getting out of control!

Re: How much does your Photographer cost?

We're only doing photo and we got the least expensive package (and it doesn't include much) which is $3600. We still have to buy parent albums and a bunch of other photos that we may want.

Re: How much does your Photographer cost?

I was slightly embarrased to post that I'm paying $3,400 for just photo (album, 2 parents, proofs, and one poster size... I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with that... I tried to give it back for a discount - no dice)

Re: How much does your Photographer cost?

I found this Chinese owned wedding photography studio in NY, they offer me a package for $3000-$4000 only. It includes regular photo shoot(before the wedding and during the wedding day), video, limo serves, make up (for my BM and I), hair(for my BM and I), , even wedding gown, other dresses and BM's dresses. My cousin introduced me to them. They did a really good job on hers.

Re: How much does your Photographer cost?

Maybe I need to switch photographers. I'm paying about $3000 (tax included) for photography alone.

Re: How much does your Photographer cost?

mine was $5600:
10 Hours of photo & video
One 12x12 80 picture blk leather album
Two 9x9 80 picture blk silk album (for parents)
Three 3x3 80 picture silk album (brag books)
50 Thank You Cards
One DVD
Two VHS tapes (for parents)

Of course, i made some changes to my contract. there was suppose to be 65 images instead of 80. there was also suppose to be two 20X24 enlargements but have no use for them. the service was impeccable.. they were dressed very professional as well as acting it. i recieved the proofs about a couple of weeks after the wedding date and they're gorgeous! they took over 1,000 photos and we had to pick 80.. doesn't seem fair, huh? =) i have yet to recieve the final work and not worried at all. i have no regrets what-so-ever with my vendor. they did a great job!
