Photographer

My photographer & videographer came to $2300. I received '06 prices.

ETA: Photography: We're getting 6 hours of coverage, complete set of proofs, all photos on a CD Rom, 2 - 11 / 14, 1 - 16 x 20, bridal album, 2 parents album

Vidography: We're getting 8 hours of coverage, photo montage, invitation with bridal party credit, animations, interviews, a DVD and wireless mic.

Girl..u know I'm 2 embarrassed 2 share this. :-)

$2400.00 is our package. Thankfully, we have the photograper all day long. None of this "after 8 hours, you're paying my OT rate of 175/hr" crap. I don't have time for that!! Heck anything cold happen & then you're liable to pay.

Did I overpay? What's the ballpark range anyway?

Some photographers charge that amount MrsRobinson. is that just for the photgrapher or are you getting a videographer too?

For $1300 we are getting unlimited time, 100 images on a dvd slide show, a complete set of proofs, an online albumn and all the negatives. We came WAY under budget and her work is so good.

For $750 we are getting 3 hours of coverage:

-behind the scene pictures, of course the wedding and reception
-200 4x6 photos arranged in the order wedding took place
-1 5x7 black and white photo
-10 8x10 shots of our choice
-an online wedding album

This guy is a professional photographer that takes pictures for all events at our church, so we've seen his work, and we know he is reliable and good. First I thought this was too much until I started researching other places and saw the prices..when I did I was like thank you LORD!....

$1500 unlimited coverage, large leather bound album & two parent albums

We are paying $2100 that includes 8hr photo and video. Like Septbride we are also getting 06 prices since that is when we booked.

Complete set of proofs
all photos on a CD Rom
1 - 16 x 20
10x13 bridal album
8X10 bridal album
100 thank you's

DH won't tell me. We had 2 photographers and a videographer. We were glad to save money on bridal portraits. lol.

Just booked the videographer on Friday night. He's gonna bang us for $1595. This includes all day coverage, wireless mics, interviews, 3-5 DVDs & our honeymoon montage in the end.

I think that's a grat deal. Does his company also do photography?

No, but his cohort who's my photographer referred me to him. They've worked numerous jobs together over the last 10+ years. If you want their info let me know. The videographer's located in the Bronx & will travel anywhere. Photog's on L.I., but also will go anywhere. Hit me up if you want their info. I'll note you...

For $800 we got

1. Unlimited coverage of the wedding event

The following was thrown in for free since the 800 was just for his time:
1. Engagement Photos w/online album
2. The engagement photo of our choice for the reception including the frame for guests to sign. (Our coordinator framed it in a silver and gold frame as a gift to us)
3. 4 x 6 print of all the edited photos (over 200 photos chosen)
4. An online album
5. Beautiful Wedding album
6. Wedding DVD/CD-Rom with music and a slideshow which could be uploaded on the computer with the folder of all of our photos.

Videography: $150.00 from a friend in film school with his own business. Which was way lower than his usual rate...We got more than we paid for.

The guy is not charging this rate anymore...Because of demand since my wedding, the price has literally skyrocketed:) So we got lucky.
