Try to find a photographer that allows you to have the copyright to your photos that way if you want to reprint them at a later date you can and you don't have to go through the photographer to do it.

Those prices aren't bad. They're only about $150-200 more than what I'm paying.

As long as you have the copyrights to your pictures you can have them printed much chaper then going through a photographer as Ivy stated.

I've found a videographer for $300-ceremony only. I'm meeting with him next week (hopefully) to discuss the price of ceremony and reception.

Re: How much are you Paying for you videographer?

Make sure you get more than one video camera and editing included....We used a friend who was just starting in the business, had one camera, and it was unedited....he is so talented, that it needed very little editing (my DH the computer nerd edited it) and it was $150.00...but if you can edit it...pay for the service and tell them which parts of the events you want the most focus on.....

We paid 800.00 for our photographer (another newbie inthe biz) and it included:

Engagement photos
Wedding incl. Pre-ceremony/bride, groom, attendants dressing
All the photos on our photo list incl group and family photos
Photo Album
2 copies DVD and CD/ROM slideshow with music, finishing, and all the rights to our photos
4x6 print of each finished photo in a beautiful box (over 230 photos done)

No prints were included in this price

Unfortunately since March his price has doubled as demand has increased, and even at 1600 he doesn't offer this little bit anymore...so we were blessed because he was a friend of a friend and we were his first PAYING couple...

MrsReed2be, your videographer prices are good. We paid $1700 for what's included in the Platinum package. We only got 1 DVD at the price, and it was $10 for each additional. The videographer we used was new to our area so our price was considered a discount. Everyone else was $2000 or more for that type of package. Keep in mind though I live in New York where unfortunately EVERYTHING costs more.

Re: How much are you Paying for you videographer?

I got my videographer from Craigslist. I got the budget package and it was a little over $700 with taxes.

- We had all day coverage at the ceremony and reception.
- 4 DVD copies
- Nice jazz music set to the DVD

The video turned out really nice, it didn't seem like it was "budget" at all. It was perfect.

My photographer was separate, but I received an excellent price with her as well.
