Mark Money Quetion

I just read on the brides board - $1300 for pictures - Is there a real differece in pictures when you pay more?? I took the smallest package and am paying $3500 - would I get the same pictures for $1300? I know it all depends on the photographer - but is it the name I am paying for? I am just curious... I went to places that cost less - I picked one that cost more - but I don't know if it was in my mind that the pictures looked better - What is your opinion as a photograper??

Oh my goodness. Yes there is a difference. I won't quote my pricing on this board (you need to contact me privately for that) but I will tell you that I pay my main photographer $600, the candid photographer $450 and then there is film and processing. Assuming that you are getting the typical 300-500 proofs that cost would be at least a few hundred dollars depending on the proof size and the lab used. You weren't including albums in the $1300 were you? There are many options and many levels of quality (we average 1000 proofs/wedding and always have two photographers) and of course you get what you pay for. If you saw the difference then you likely contracted for what was appropriate for you.
