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.

Doc is absolutely fantastic. I was in conversation with several photographers, and I decided on Doc for his level of attentiveness and responsiveness. He answered all my questions with ease and exuded a sense of comfort I didn't receive from others. The day we met, his passion for the art of photography was very apparent. He worked to get all the right angles and all the right shots (even with the obstacle of a crying infant) In the end, his level of professionalism and eye for detail created the most beautiful photos. He is very friendly and will work with you to make sure you are absolutely satisfied with his services. That's a level of customer service you often don't see in this day in age. He cares about his reputation and the products he produces. He also cares about his clients. For that, I will be a repeat customer!

Stephen is a great photographer! My fiance and I did our engagement pictures with him and we are so happy with the result. He captured the best moments in perfect angles. Besides that, he was really flexible about our appointment. You know the weather is unpredictable in Texas and we had some freeze alerts. Because of that, we had to reschedule our appointment several times, and he was always really flexible. I highly recommend you to do engagment pictures with him!

Amy did a wonderful job! I asked her to do a professional headshot for me, as well as some spur of the moment type shoots. I've used her many times for little projects. She edits them quick and gets the pictures to you as soon as she can. Her work is great and she's great at capturing moments. I feel confident in saying I have a photographer for life!

Justin is an exceptional photographer. He was instanteous at responding too all questions, and his turnaround time was much faster than I anticipated. I couldn’t be happier with my photos and he so incredibly affordable. Book him if you can.

Susan was competitively priced, flexible in fitting my needs, and provided me with multiple options. When I showed up to the appointment she was professional, polite, and we worked quickly to get a variety of shots. It was actually much more thorough than what I expected. We then discussed when she would have the pictures edited, and she ended up exceeding that expectation by delivering early. I would definitely recommend her as a photographer.

Not only have my experiences with Luedecke Photography professional, they were fun as well. I have had the pleasure of working with them on multiple occasions and have never had anything but stellar photos. The only Photographer I will use.

Taurus Photography is amazing! I was able to get her short notice for Christmas cards. She showed up to the house on time and even brought Christmas props to help the photos seem more "Christmas-like." She was very friendly and professional! She even brought dog treats for our pups!! I would highly recommend her for anyone needing a photographer!!

Heartwood Park Photography did our wedding photos a few years back and we loved our experience! She was quick to get our edited photos back to us and we have so many pictures of such an important day. We feel lucky to have shared that special moment with her as our photographer and want to use Heartwood Park Photography for other special moments to come.

If you want an excellent photographer Rob is definitely your man. He went up and beyond the call of duty. Oh my God the finishing products was wonderful more than we expected his personality and his customer service was beyond what we expected. I would definitely refer him to any and everyone. I would definitely use Him again

Robert is beyond fantastic at what he does!!! Not only are his photos absolutely beautiful, but he is incredibly easy to work with from beginning to end. Not only does he work well with color, lighting, and background, but he also has the direction you need if you’re a bit nervous in front of the camera, like I was! He made me feel very comfortable while being professional and patient at the same time :) He is super flexible and was able to coordinate photos at multiple locations for me. My sessions with him have always been tons of fun! He shows creative vision and is also open to new ideas! He really does produce some great photography with easy to use images/ files types. He’s got an amazing portfolio that shows his outstanding talent. I’ve recommended him to my family and friends who enjoyed working with him!! From brainstorming ideas to seeing the finished product, they absolutely loved the photography experience with him!! I would highly recommend Robert as a photographer!!!

Holly was professional and fun. She managed to match the backdrop of the photos perfectly to our personality (We were coming from out of town and did not know the Waco area, so we relied fully on her to pick the location). She was very prompt in email responses, scouted out the areas ahead of time and did send a few sneak peak photos of the park as well as a few photos before she fully processed them all. All in all an excellent photographer and we highly recommend her for your next photo shoot!

I am a professional photographer working in Waco, TX for the past 18 years. Janis worked for me in my Studio for several years while she was attending Baylor University. She has assisted with me in Weddings, special events and the Waco Cotton Palace for the past 8 years. She is one of the first photographers I call to assist when I need help. Janis has worked independently for several years and her work is excellent. I highly recommend her as a professional photographer and graphic designer. A pleasure to work with.

If I could give beyond 5 stars, I certainly would! I hired them for two events over this past labor day weekend, 2018. The first was my nephew's surprise proposal. To say the pictures were awesome, amazing, detailed, picturesque, etc, just is not enough. Perfection! They arrived to the designated site in advance to scout out the area for best pictures and with recommendations. The surprised moment was so well captured and will remain in the family archives. The engagement photo shoot was excellent. The second was for my mother's 82nd birthday party, where her siblings and other family members attended. I may never be above to get these siblings together at one setting again so having these pictures done well was important. Another excellent job! Being new to Austin, I did not know a photographer and decided to use Thumbtack, as I often did when in Illinois. After perusing all of those who responded, looking at the web sites and speaking to Fine Art Memories, I believed this was the best one. I WAS SO RIGHT! If you hire Fine Art Memories, you've hit JACK POT!

Scott was our photographer for our wedding. He is a true professional - period. We were married in a Catholic Church, which has some rules regarding photography and ceremony. In fact, our church required any photographer to sign a contract acknowledging such rules. Because of this, Scott took it upon himself to keep in contact with our church to make sure we got what we were expecting while maintaining respect for the church. He came to our wedding ready, organized, and prepared to provide us with the precious memories of our big day. If you are in need of a photographer I HIGHLY recommend Scott. He is an absolute professional an genuinely loves his craft. Thank you SO much for being our photographer - you really went above and beyond your duties and we are so appreciative for the memories we'll relive through your photos.

Yussra was lovely! She really knows her stuff and directs you to the best possible angle! You can see how focused she can be and uses her surroundings to get some great shots! Out of all the photographers I have worked with, I enjoy her presence the best!

Tasha L.
