I need my 07 girls help here!!!

As you can see, we are still on the photography step...

I have had some 'discussions' with FH about pricing and cost of photography, so I REALLY could use your imput and responses here!

For those of you who have shopped around, met with photographers, etc... what is your ball park figure that you have been quoted for one photographer plus basic album and some additional photos?

You dont have to include vendors' names, so I hope that more people will answer!!!! (and if there has been a range, include that or include more than one quote of that's the case)

THANKS!!!
This will help more than you know!!!

I'm def. paying under 1500 for mine...my aunt is a wedding photographer, so I am just paying for the pictures the day of and getting them on cd-she will make the albums for me as a wedding gift.

Haven't decided on a photographer yet, but I've narrowed it down to three. FM me if you want their names bc even w/ their traditional packages, they're still pretty reasonable.

we have been quoted from $4800 to almost $8k. For what you are asking for... 1 photographer , basic album and a few extra prints... it should be less than these #'s. If you aren't looking for parent albums or thank you's etc... then i say you can probably gets omething in the $3k - $4k range. It all depends on the photographer though... they all charge different.
