How much wedding photography should cost?

"Question: What's your opinion on how much wedding photography should cost compared to the entire wedding budget?

Answer: There's no real answer as to how much you should really be spending on your wedding photography, but as a guideline I would say about 10% of your total wedding budget. I have seen MANY brides make the mistake of spending a TON of money on the wedding day festivities, locations, attire and decorations, but skimped on photography. As a result, they hired a photographer with poor equipment and insufficient wedding photography knowledge, and they received sub-par quality photos which they regret later. All that money and effort spent on making everything perfect will never be remembered the way when they should through the photos for the rest of their lives.

I always communicate to my clients from the beginning: it is important when choosing a dress, location, and flowers to keep photography in mind. If you plan to go all out with your wedding, you may want to spend a little more money hiring a talented photographer who will be able to creatively capture the location and all of the beautiful people that you spent so much time and effort in bringing together, but balance your budget carefully."
