    Just wondering how much people are spending in the OC/LA area on their photographers - there seems to be such a range of prices, but also a range of talent/experience. Then there are those who seem like they are just starting out, with pretty good prices, but also pretty good images - and I just worry if the lack of experience in shooting weddings is going to make a difference. My Fi and I are not models and need people to kinda' put us into good poses that look natural (i.e. Mrs. Daffodil's latest post). :) Will someone with less experience know how to do this? But even those with lower beginnig prices get to be so pricey when you add e-sessions, albums, prints, etc. How much is too much?

    I would love to hear your thoughts and average package prices! thanks!

    I am spending almost $10K after taxes and travel fees (included e-session).  Average LA/OC photog price? :  wedding photography prices Icon Eek It really depends on the level of experience and type of work they do and what you want.

    my photographer was able to work with me, cut out things I didn't want, substitue with things I did. 

    here is their website

    www.eight20photography.com 

     Definitely ask for more info, they have a detailed price list upon request.

    It all depends how much of a priority wedding photography is. My base package is $6000 (all day coverage, two photographers, 10x10 premium leather album, disc of high-res images, e-shoot).

    There are photographers for 30K that are well worth the money and there are people who will shoot a few hundred images, burn them to disc right there, and charge you $300. It all depends where photography lines up as a priority:)

    we're spending 9K but importing ours from SF, so he's really 8500.00, but after hotel, airfare, and car rental he's 9K
