Wedding Photography Budget

Professional wedding photographers are often seen to be expensive in many peoples’ eyes with some couples not having a wedding photographer in order to minimise their wedding budget. I have spoken to many people, mainly guests at weddings I’ve photographed, who have said they wish they’d got a professional photographer for their wedding.

Here at Shah Photography we have a reputation for excellence

but at a price; I just wanted to do a quick post to say that we are able to provide disk only packages at very reasonable prices to suit most budgets. Even if you are on a tight budget it’s worth getting in touch. If you have set a budget for your wedding photography it’s really helpful to let me know what figure you have in mind; the more information you can give about your expectations and requirements the better.

I would strongly advise that you are not led by price only as another comment I’ve often read and heard from people at weddings I’ve photographed is how disappointed married couples are that they didn’t spend more money on their wedding photography.

Couples getting married are bombarded with information about wedding photography and the advice often talks about the average price wedding photographers charge. Well average photographers will charge average prices but then how can you possibly compare coverage of a wedding that excludes the brides preparation and extends to the start of the wedding breakfast and the photographs supplied on USB with coverage from the morning of the wedding, including the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready as well as the groom and the groomsmen getting ready through to fireworks that may happen at 9:45pm add to this the choice of a wedding album which vary tremendously in price and you’ll start to appreciate when you are contacting photographers why there really is no such thing as an average price for wedding photography.

One other point to mention is the vast amounts of time top wedding photographers spend processing the image files of the photographs they have taken at weddings; done properly it’s a lengthy process and this will add to the cost.

For those of you with a larger budget you will be able to choose from a beautiful range of wedding albums in addition to your image files being supplied on USB. After your wedding is over you will have your wedding ring(s) and your wedding photography for your future life together from all the services and products you will have spent your money on; your photography might be worth a little more than you had previously budgeted for.
