What is the average cost of a photographer for the bridal portrait and the wedding? Are you allowed to keep the proofs? Does the price quoted include the cost of the pictures or just their time for photographing the wedding?
We've seen photography packages as low as about $400 and as high as about $6,000 and everything in-between. It depends on what part of the country you are in and how many hours you want the photographer to be there (4 hours or 8 hours, etc.) An average package that would suit lots of brides would be somewhere around $1000-$2000. Some let you keep the proofs and some do not, it seems to be an individual photographers policy. Many will post your pictures on a website for viewing and ordering by your guests. Some include proofs for an additional fee and many will put them on a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. Usually the prices quoted include lots of pictures in an album as well as their time (and often discounts on additional pictures ordered for family and friends for a certain time frame after the wedding). Many photographers also have videography packages available too, w hich will be an additional cost.
When you find a photographer you like, ask all these questions. The most important thing is that you like their style of photos and that you are comfortable with them.
