Photography prices?

Oh my god! Went to three today & got blown away! Who are you ladies using & why & about how much? I looked at ADA Studio, Spelman Studio & Karen Marie Photos. They ranged from $2600-$4500 for 'comperable' packages. Any info would be appriciated!

Im spending about $5K. Its a lot but I wanted a particular style and lots of proofs.

Photographers prices vary greatly! While shopping we saw some studios charge $2500 for the same thing another studio was charging $10K for!

Just like with any sort of art, the artist is going to determine their pricing based on a wide range of factors.

I spending the same as Stef. But you don't have to. There are photographers for much less and for much more. Decide what type of style you want, and let us know. I am sure all of us brides can recommend who to look at and what it will cost.

I'm spending $2500 without some extras after that will probably put me up to 3k but there were definetly lower packages my photographer had

I am using Patken and we paid $2400.00, and I guess after if we want to add more pics it'll be more.

If you want inexpensive yet decent try the Wedding Center. My package is only $1499 and it includes a lot. I seen then work and it is pretty good. Also you can buy the negatives after a year for only $99.

We are using Creative Compositions and are spending about 4K. It was more than I wanted to spend, but we really wanted good pictures and we've heard such great things about them. This is just for an album with 60 pictures. They give you a credit of 10% of your total package to spend on whatever you want - that way you can get your thank yous, parent's albums, additional pictures etc. My parents didn't want an album - my sister got them one and they looked at in once and it sat on a table for a few years. They would rather just have a few pictures to hang that they can 'enjoy'. My MIL said she would be happy with whatever we decided to give her. So, we'll just let them pick out a few pictures and everyone is happy.

I am using Maria Celeste, her day fee is $2875. That is for 8 hours, and about 600 proofs. An album and enlargements are extra, but not too expensive. She is not your average wedding photographer...she does mainly B&W/Candids/Photojournalism. I love her work and would recommend her 100%!!! If you like more traditional pictures, two of my friends used Patken and their pictures came out beautiful. Good Luck!

I'm paying $2,600 for my pictures. We're using Glenmar Studios.

We got similar prices from Cassarino.

I am using VIP

I lucked out, not having to get parent albums (can you believe neither wanted them - b/c they are stored...they both want framed pictures and folios)

10 8x10
15 5x7
100 wallet
2 folios
our 36 page book
600 proofs

and 2 photographers...

We used Laurie Studio, and LOVE our album. Ken and Barb were awesome to work with and each and every picture was a work of art. When all was said and done we ended up spending $5800, and it was worth every penny.
