How much did you / are you paying for photograhy?

I am paying $5500 which includes:

4 hours photography time

4 hours video shooting

100 photo album

30 page bound coffee table photo book

all images on high res disk, with rights of negatives signed by photographer to me for reprints

I am using the resort photog for my DW, I have no idea which package yet. But we hired a local guy for our AHR and will probably choose his lowest package ($1,290 for 6 hours and full res cd/dvd) and maybe make some additons from there.

I am paying $1,050 for 2 1/2 hours of pictures and all my images on a CD. I am hiring Erick Rodriguez from Claudia Rodriguez's team.

2 1/2 hours probably doens't sound like a lot, but it will work for us. We are not havinga private reception, so I don't want pictures taken during dinner. So we have a photographer before the wedding to take pictures of us when we first see each other & a few more pictures while my hair & makeup are still fresh. Then they will photograph the ceremony, do some group shots & take pictures of us on the beach.

We're paying just under $2000 for:

up to 10 hrs wedding day coverage

8x8 coffee table album

Casual session evening prior to ceremony

Trash the Dress session day after ceremony

$300 print credit
