How much does it cost for a photographer for a wedding?

Finding the right wedding photographer can make a big difference for your ceremony. Nationally, the average wedding photographer’s price ranges from $800 to $1,000, but costs can be much higher in areas like Chicago, New York or Los Angeles where some couples spend $2,000 to $5,000 or more for the photographer they want. Factors that can affect your wedding photographer prices include the photographer’s reputation and experience. Heavy hitters can command top rates, especially during wedding-season weekends. Day of the week also affects your cost. You may get a $200 discount on wedding photographer prices if you get married on a Friday in November rather than a Saturday in June. Time onsite is also an important cost factor. Hiring a photographer to snap photos from the moment you wake up until after last call at the reception is going to cost more than five hours of pictures during the day. Multiple photographers, special lighting, and videography will also increase your costs. Ultimately you want to find someone who has a style you love and can provide the number of edited shots you want for a price you can handle. Learn more about hiring a wedding photographer.

Iris did a wonderful job all around with our wedding pictures. She was always available to answer any questions prior to the wedding. She spent lots of time in the bride and groom suites prior to the ceremony and got some great photos. She has an incredible eye for candid shots. She did a fantastic job keeping our FIVE restless groomsman focused during the posed pictures, and they all turned out beautiful. Overall it was a great experience, the pictures are great, I highly recommend her for wedding photography!

We hired Michael to be our wedding photographer. He was excellent! He has such a nice, kind personality and really seemed to do whatever it took to get really nice wedding photographs. The pictures all turned out with amazing quality (and he worked very quickly at getting them to us). We liked that we only gave him a general idea of the types of pictures we wanted and then let him come up with some ideas. We love the pictures taken by the fountain in Oakleaf Plantation at the clubhouse (one of his ideas). We would definitely recommend him and use him again in the future for professional photography.

I have to say that Mike and Lissa are the best photographers I have ever met. They are so organized and friendly, so professional. I am so happy I chose them to photograph my wedding on 2/27/15. They did an outstanding job. They sent me some teasers right away for me to preview and I have to say if the teasers are this good I can't wait to see the rest of them. I will definitely recommend Mike and Lissa Helinsky for any photography you may need. They are the best!!!!!!!!!

A+++!!! Gabby and I couldn’t have had a better experience than choosing Francesco to photograph our wedding! Going in, we knew exactly what we wanted, namely a few staged shots of the family and a lot candid shots during the ceremony. After looking through the websites of 6 or 7 photographers in the Jacksonville/St Augustine area, Francesco’s portfolio definitely stood out and he seemed a far better photographer than all of the other options. We had no problems communicating via email and by phone prior to the event and were looking forward to finally meeting on the day of. As it was a small beach wedding, we were worried about the lighting but Francesco was two steps ahead and already thinking of how best to utilize the beach, trees, and surrounding nature. We had such a great time that we invited him back to the reception to celebrate with our closest friends and family. We couldn’t have been happier when the photographs arrived. They were exactly what we wanted and a perfect way to memorialize our special day. Anybody can buy a fancy camera, but Francesco has an eye for photography that either comes naturally or takes years of training. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know him and I hope our paths cross again one day so we thank him again in person. Five stars across the board. It was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. <3 Matt & Gabby

Miguel and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with! Miguel was our photographer for our wedding and has a creative eye that is unmatched by many. He carefully thinks out various shots and genuinely wants you to have the best pictures possible. I couldn't imagine working with anyone but Miguel. He provided hours of shots that weren't required but went above and beyond and exceeded expectations. His work is breathtaking and beautiful. Thank you Miguel!

Briana is an amazing photographer with many new and creative ideas for capturing those special moments in all walks of life. She is very perfessional but also very personable which makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Briana is great with children of all ages from newborn on up to the big kids (husbands). We have personally used Briana for many different things and she has always surpassed our expectations. From newborn photos, birthday milestones, family photos, and even weddings she can do it all. Our family loves her and will continue to use her for every event. Thank you Briana for all your hard work & amazing skills!

Amber did a shoot for my husband and I for our first wedding anniversary! We are not the easiest couple to work with (hahaha) but Amber handled us so well! She listened to exactly what we envisioned for the photos and exceeded our expectations a hundred times over! She was extremely professional and the shots were beyond beautiful. We had so much fun and truly enjoyed the shoot! I'll use her for all my future photography needs & I recomend her to everyone I know!

We used Patrick as our official photographer for our wedding back in December '14! When we first met up with Patrick, we saw all the wonderful work that he's done from previous weddings, and he goes above and beyond to see to it that his work is nothing but perfect! He thinks of the little things and gave good suggestions to make our special day a memorable one! We loved the special album that we purchased from him, great quality that will surely last a lifetime... Definitely recommend this photographer! -Katherine

We use a lot of photographers to take pictures of our commercial construction projects. Mario anticipated all of the perspective shots we needed and the quality of his shots really impressed us. I would have to put him at the top of our list of photographers who nailed what we needed. We will be using him in the future.

We had the pleasure of having Harland Harris photograph our wedding. He did an incredible job capturing both the formal and intimate moments of this amazing day. His work hangs in our house and we enjoy it everyday. I would recommend Harland to anyone looking for a talented and versatile photographer that will put you at ease and bring his professional and artistic eye to capture your most important life moments.

We used Angie Christmas Photography for our wedding. Angie is a fantastic photographer. She made sure to get every picture I wanted and then some! She delivered the pictures well within our agreed time frame and they were amazing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion.

About

I have been in business for a little over four years in the Jacksonville, FL area. Photography truly is my passion. I enjoy it immensely and always strive to capture a story in my photographs. A photograph is more than a memory, it is an emotion captured on film that when viewed in the years to come should touch the viewer with the story told within it. "A photograph is more than a memory, it's a story. What kind of story will yours tell?"
