Photography ? - How much?

About how much are you spending on photography? I have seen at least 7 photographers. The two I narrowed it down to are both are more than I had originally budgeted for (what else is new ). I just don't know if I should keep on looking, although I loved their work. Plus I want to decide soon!

$3699 for photo and video. I was under a strict budget too. I could only spend $2500 on photo and $1200 on video. Duet fit in perfectly!!

Originally I had budgeted $5k and thought that was plenty. I have narrowed it down to JoVan & Creative Compositions.

OMG! I got quoted $2300 for photography and I thought that was insane. Are there any places that does this for like under $1000... or am I smoking crack?

Talk about an industry thats WAY overpriced for what you get. They are just PICTURES! How much does it cost to print pictures? PENNIES to the dollar!

Unbelieveable the prices some of these places charge. Makes me ill.

not likely to find anything under $1000.
My photographer charges $1100 for just the photographer for the day, no assistant, no prints, no albums.they do give you proofs & negatives though, so you could go that route & do the rest on your own later.

DjPill-

I have some people on my budget vendor page:

Under $1000 is hard, but not impossible.

Man... for the insane prices photographers want... I DEFINITELY got into the wrong industry.

Maybe I can tell my FW to get a degree in Photography or whatever it is so she can make some good cash. LOL

Great webpage. I am definitely going to inquire on some of the vendors there.

Check out Twelfth Night Photography...for one photographer for eight hours with all the proofs, negatives, and a DVD of our pictures set to music, we are paying just under $1,000.
If you don't want an album made for you by the photographer, then it is possible to find one for $1000, but if you do want an album, then it becomes pretty expensive.
Also check out Silverfox, they are pretty reasonably priced if you don't want an album as well.

Heh DAYM!... I am paying less than that to have my entire party, reception, AND ceremony at the Swan Club.

I guess things are different when the expense for the wedding is coming out of my pocket (and FW).

I hope you got some good pictues for that price.
