Photography pricing questions!!!

Hey!
I posted this on the 07 board but would appreciate the '06ers help as well... since most of you probably have done shopping for photographers...
THaNKS

I have had some 'discussions' with FH about pricing and cost of photography, so I REALLY could use your imput and responses here!

For those of you who have shopped around, met with photographers, etc... what is your ball park figure that you have been quoted for one photographer plus basic album and some additional photos?

You dont have to include vendors' names, so I hope that more people will answer!!!! (and if there has been a range, include that or include more than one quote of that's the case)

THANKS!!!
This will help more than you know!!!

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

Our photographer is great..you should check them out..FM me for details

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

Thanks!

Everyone else:
Even if you dont want to post the personal info, if you could just post what you think that would cost after your experiences with different photographers, etc.

What have you been quoted, etc

Thanks!

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

Any other 06ers want to share?

How much they think or have been quoted for one photographer, an album and some pictures?

Thanks!

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

Come on '06ers!

I know most of you have your photography!

Help a '07er in need!

thanks!

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

hmmm i'm not exactly sure..but i'd guestimate at least 3k?

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

I have been researching this too.
We have a range of 4,200 to 5,500.
most of the quotes were for 4,300ish.
FM me is you want to know more.

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

we went to 3 and booked the last one we met with....the average price, for us, was about $4500, b/w the first and last, the 2nd was about 6k, wayyyy more then we wanted to spend.

i say show around but don't see more then 5 or 6, gets too confusing.

good luck

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

i found a photographer in westchester who gave us a great price ($2200), and thats for a 40 page album, 100 thank yous, proofs, negs (if we decide to do film and not digital) and 4 bigger pictures (i think 3 11X14 and another big size) 'however' i had some problems with the photgrapher we picked (she cancelled) so we have to use someone else now. If you shop around you will get an idea of what style you like and who gives you the most for your $$$. We looked at people who were b/t 4500-5000 and they offered less in their packages then who we went with. Hope this helps :)

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

On the cheap end 3,000 (w/o video).....but i'm going to end up spending about 4,500 on just the photographer.....extra 2,000 for video i guess

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

oh i forgot video, thats another $1600,

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

We found $1600 for proofs only, we were quoted around $4000 for one, and then we booked at $3800, including video.

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

I would say between $2850 and $4000

Some can go as high as $6000 though.

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

We are paying around 5 but my photographer has packages ranging from 3800- 6K

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

we only looked at one photographer, so I dont know if I am any help and we arent paying much over $2000.00. IMO, we got a great package also. And our video is only costing us 1300, I believe. I dont have my contract infront of me

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

Thanks gals!

This helps!

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

$800-$900 up to 3 hours coverage.

Digital photos. all proofs on cd

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

I got prices from 2,000 to 7,500, I ended up with a great photographer in Rocky Point for 3,300 and video 1500

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

I went to 5 photgraphers and i got estimates from 3k - 8k for album and video.

Hope this helps

Re: Photography pricing questions!!!

Between 4500 and 6000
