How much for a picture? :)

Not having ever been part of a wedding-planning process, I was not taking into consideration the importance of a photographer until I read your posts. Can you guys give me an idea as to how much I am looking at? I know this is not black and white...

You could probably pay a photographer on the resort anywhere from $300-$2500 depending what your looking for. How long would you want them for...etc.

I'm paying $700 for our pictures.

This includes cd with 300 edited images. 75 5x7 prints. A slide show. And 3 hrs of coverage.

I'll be paying about $2000 for 4 hrs of pics and 4 hrs of video through the resort.

Total with our professional photos and the few we purchased from the resort was about $2000

I am thinking about hiring Arrecife Studio, i check their work and i think they are great, really good photographers there. I compared with HDC, Hispaniola, Michael and Jorge Alloco photos and i found them very original and up date with this subject. They will make a full cover wedding for me and i am paying around 2000. We are still managing the final price, but i am sure that it will worth it. I discover them via facebook. Arrecife Melia Caribe, Paradisus Palma Real, etc.

Do you have to pay for their tickets and accomodation? If so, is that separate from the picture package?
