There are really so many different packages given from different photographers. I would say that you could get someone that would be around $2000, but I'm not sure if you would get albums and things like that. I think on average at least $3500 for a package that would include albums, enlargements, and an engagement shoot.

I got a quote from a neighbor that is a photographer and I thought it was ridiculously high. Almost $2000 for 8 hours but then you only get the images on a disc.

Hmmmmmmm I think that might be a LITTLE high, but not by much. I personally think you are better off spending a little more to get the whole package deal.

Re: Photography pricing

it all depends on what you are looking for. I would say if you want albums etc you are looking at $3500. If you are willing to get the minimum (1 photographer and just a cd of images) it could be closer to 2000.
But also realize the other side of the spectrum...i contacted photographers that wanted $5000 and even one that said he was $8000 for a sat night if i wanted him personally

Mr. Ed could take my pics if he does a good job LOL but for the work I've seen this guy do I think the horse actually would do a better job LOL I wanna have an album and a dvd plus we still have to do engagement photos I'm also planning on having cameras on each table and getting a photobooth for people to goof around in.

Idk what the average cost is, but we'r paying $4800 for two photographers and a videographer, starting at 1pm and ending at 1am. It includes our album plus our parents albums, an e-pic shoot and as many thank you cards as you need w/ the pic printed in the front. There's alot more included in the package, I just can't remember it all right now.

You can definitely get a good one for 2000-2500 with an album included.
