Wedding photography and videography typically range from $5,500 to $10,000+, depending on coverage, experience, destinations, and deliverables.
Let’s break down the real cost of hiring a professional wedding photographer and videographer so you can budget wisely and understand what goes into capturing your big day beautifully and stress-free.
Why is Wedding Photography & Videography Expensive?
We get it—weddings are expensive, and photography & videography can be a big investment. But here’s why it’s worth every penny:
📌 Your wedding photos & videos are the ONLY things that last beyond the wedding day. 📌 You’re not just paying for “a person with a camera”—you’re paying for experience, skill, and storytelling. 📌 A professional ensures every moment is captured—so you can be fully present and stress-free.
What Affects the Cost of Wedding Photography & Videography?
The cost of wedding photography and videography varies based on several key factors:
1. Experience & Skill Level
A seasoned professional with years of experience (who can handle any lighting situation, unexpected weather, and timeline shifts) will charge more than a beginner.
How We Help: We’ve captured weddings in every lighting & venue situation imaginable. No stress, just stunning images & videos!
2. Coverage Hours
More coverage = higher cost. Typical packages include:
- 6-hour coverage: Ideal for micro weddings or elopements.
- 8-hour coverage: Standard package for full-day coverage. Most of couples choose this for their wedding day.
- Full-day coverage: From getting ready to the final dance party—perfect for couples who don’t want to miss a moment.
How We Help: We offer flexible coverage options to fit your wedding timeline perfectly!
3. Photo & Video Package vs. A La Carte
Some photographers & videographers offer bundled packages, while others charge separately. Bundling photo & video can save money compared to hiring two separate vendors.
How We Help: We offer hybrid coverage, meaning you get stunning photos AND a cinematic wedding film—without the need for two separate teams!
4. Location & Travel Fees ✈️
Getting married in another city, state, or country? Travel fees may apply for destination weddings or venues outside a photographer’s usual area.
How We Help: We LOVE destination weddings and elopements and will create a custom travel-friendly package for you!
5. Deliverables & Editing Time
What’s included in your package?
- High-resolution edited images
- Full wedding film & highlight reel
- Engagement session or additional pre-wedding content
The more services & products included, the higher the cost.
How We Help: We offer customized packages so you get exactly what you need—no fluff, just the good stuff!
