The cost of a wedding photo shoot depends on several factors, such as the photographer's reputation, the duration of the photo coverage, the number of photographers who will work for the event, the type of album or other photographic products you want, lastly also the location where the wedding will take place.
IIn general, professional marriage photographers can request rates ranging from a minimum of about 1,000 to a maximum of 10,000 euros. In principle, on American industry sites we are talking about the rule of 10% of the entire budget planned for your marriage.
So to the question "How much is it right to spend on a wedding photographer?" The answer is "It is right to invest the10% of the total wedding budget".
The verb to invest is not random. The money you spend on a photo shoot is the only one that will allow you to have something even after the event. The flowers will wither, the clothes locked in the wardrobes, but what will forever tell that day and make you relive those emotions are the photos and videos of your wedding. It will be what your children will want to see and what will tell future generations about the birth of your family.
On a photographer you don't spend, you invest.
Some factors that can affect the cost of a photographer for the wedding are:
The duration of the photo shoot: Some photographers offer hourly services, so with customizable packages, others offer a service that does not vary with increasing hours, but obviously they will have a different cost because they include the risk of extra hours.
The wedding location: Photographers working in exclusive locations or tourist cities may require higher rates than those working in other areas. Or even the difficulty in reaching the location could be a factor that changes the price (for example having to take a plane to reach the chosen place with the costs of food and accommodation to be included)
The photographer's reputation: The most experienced photographers with a good reputation in the market may require higher rates than lesser-known photographers, even in the face of numerous demands, their experience and confidence in facing one of the most important days in a couple's life.
The number of photographs: Some photographers offer packages that include only a limited number of photographs, while others offer packages with an unlimited number of photographs. Again the options are different, my advice is not to just fixate on the number of photos. For example, if two photographers A and B have the same price and photographer A proposes as a strong point the delivery of 10,000 photos, against the 1000 of photographer B, it may seem like a bargain to choose the first photographer but, for me, it is preferable to have 1000 well-selected photos than 10,000 but with duplicates inside it that in the end diminish the value of the 1000
The type of service offered: Some photographers offer turnkey packages, which include several hours of photo coverage, a high-quality photo album, and other products such as prints or digital files. Other photographers offer rates for the working hour, and customers can choose the extra products they want. I always recommend informing you because you may realize that you have not considered a service that you discover to want.
In general, it is always advisable to do a research and compare the prices of different options before choosing a photographer for your wedding. Remember that the photographer’s cost for the wedding is only part of the overall wedding budget, so be sure to consider all your options before making a decision.
