Wedding Photography Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the normal budget for a wedding photographer?
The average wedding photographer costs anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the services rendered and how many hours are booked. At First & Port Photography, we find that the average couple spends about $3,500 on wedding photography and videography.
Wedding photographers may seem expensive at first glance. However, it's important to keep in mind that you typically get what you pay for when it comes to wedding pictures. If you go with the cheapest photographer in the area, you're not going to get the breathtaking photos you're looking for.
As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to allocate approximately 10% to 20% of your overall wedding budget. So if your overall budget is $20,000, you can expect to spend between $2,000 and $4,000 on wedding photography.
If you have a specific budget you want to stick to, we can sit down with you to find the best package or combination of services for your budget.
Is a photographer worth it for your wedding?
Some people wonder if wedding photographers are worth it or if they'd be better off just taking pictures on their cell phones. But hiring a photographer for your wedding is definitely worth it! Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event; having high-quality photos to cherish and remember the special moments is priceless.
At First & Port Photography, we have the skills, knowledge, and expertise necessary to capture your wedding day in the best way possible.
