I think it will vary on the location and experience of photographer. In KC, we found a photographer we really liked and our package is $1950, which includes:
Engagement Shoot
2 shooters on day-of, unlimited time and locations
DVD or CD-Rom of all edited images in high-resolution
"Premiere Party..." hehe, he invites us to come to his studio and preview our wedding images with a few friends - drinks, snacks provided :)
Ours is $3000. It includes 2 shooters, unlimited time/pictures, a DVD of all digital negatives with copyright release, an online gallery, a 10x10 20pg. coffee table album and an engagement shoot.
2 photogs
unlimited time day of
unlimited time engagement shoot
DVD with high rez images from both e-session and day-of
Online image hosting
$2650
For $2k, we're getting one photographer, all day, engagement shoot, CD of all the photos, rights to the photos, and a 4x6 of each photo. It seems like a lot to me, but I did a lot of comparing with other photographers in the area and with what I got, it would have been about $3k with any other photographer.
We got a great deal, especially for southern california...
$2500
Engagement shoot...no time limit, editing of all photos, online gallery
7 hours of photography with 2 shooters
Digital editing of all photos
online gallery
all high res images w/ unlimited licensing on disc
1 guest book made up of our e-pics
2 parent books
1 large book for me and FI
My photography was about $4150 and included an engagement session, all day wedding photography with 2 photographers, online galleries, a DVD of all high res wedding images, an 11x14 magazine style album and 2 mini parent albums (copies of our albums but smaller). We also get to do a photo session with them once a year for our lifetime!
We are paying $1600 and this includes travel time (about 1 1/2 hours), 2 photographers, unlimited pictures for 8 hours, a 10x10 wedding album, CD with all pictures so we can use to order prints from anywhere, editing, and an online gallery for guests to order from.
We're on a tight budget and the number scared us at first but I know we're getting a good deal!
$1000
-2 photographers, multiple locations, 4 hrs. (we are having two large wedding ceremonies, so we just wanted the basics for this one), CD with photos, rights to the photos, coffee table book, all taxes
That was MUCH cheaper than anyone else in our area (usually $2,000-$4,000), but we wanted a more casual style of picture because of the multiple wedding thing, and this couple is just in the process of moving their business from one city to another, so they were looking to build up their client base.
Well for ours (Spokane, Wa) we're getting one of the most basic packages for $1300 with the chance to barter halibut for partial payment. It comes with:
We're thinking about adding in at least one more hour of pictures and that would only be $150. Also, I think we might get a slight discount for it being off-season. We're having a friend take our engagement photos and we're printing off all of our own photos. I'm probably going to just make copies of the cd for family that wants it and then they can decide what they want to do after that.
What's nice with our photographer is that if we decide to go to another location and take pictures then we won't be charged for moving. We can actually go to as many places as we want as long as we have the time.
I found a married couple in Ontario, Ca. That will do my wedding for $2500. It includes:
2 photographers
engagement session (unlimited photos)
all day coverage (unlimited amount of photos)
Light editing (color balance, blemishes, etc)
a 12x12 digtal album (I forget exactly how many pictures are included, but it's a good amount)
I forget what size but a blow up of an engagement photo (to be displayed at the wedding) & another of the wedding itself
rights to all the pictures that were taken from both the wedding and the engagment shoot!!
I thought this was an amazing deal considering you don't get half as much with other photographers for the same price in LA!!!
i went with my favorite photogs (#1 on my research list) :)
for $2700 we are getting:
-2 photogs
-rights to all pics (engagement and wedding) on dvd with edits)
-leather bound guest book
-engagement session (unlimited hours/locations)

-1 hour bonus photo session
-online gallery

-6 hours of coverage
-2 shooters
-a dvd with all our high-res images
-an engagement session
-a Graphistudio 40 page 8x12 album (a la carte this runs for $750)
-online gallery
We'll probably add another 3-4 hours of coverage @ $300/hour, so we're expecting the total to be around $5,000.
We are getting, for $2300:
1 photographer
1 hour engagement shoot, 50 High Res. specially edited (not just belmish etc, but with actions and processing etc) images on a CD with all rights to reproduce
2 hour session the day before (or whenever the rehearsal is)
8 hours on the day of (ours will probably be more as we're foregoing the rehearsal session)
800-1000 High Res. Specially edited images on a CD with all rights to reproduce
1 hour Trash the Dress/Rock the Dress session after the wedding
2 Leatherbound 12x12 (i think) photo books
Also Included: My photographer's traveling expenses (flight/hotel/meals) from Florida to TN.
=) All in all a fantastic deal I feel!
In the Washington DC/Northern VA area we are paying $3400 for:
7 hours of coverage

$400 (Friends of FI's)
We're in New York (Long Island) and we got an awesome deal with photo & video
For $4,250:
- One hour engagement session
- Two hour bridal shoot (they're providing the dress, accessories, flowers, etc.)
- 2 photographers and 1 videographer for 8 hours
- DVD high-res images (from both shoots + the wedding)
- 3 copies of fully edited DVD
- Wedding highlights music video
- Photo slideshow
- One framed 16x20” collage poster (sign board)
- One twenty-page 9x12” coffee table album
- Two twelve-page 9x12" coffeetable parents albums
Plus they do all this other cool stuff for us like giving us our own website with the music video on it, etc.
We're paying 2050+ tax for 6 hours wedding day, 1 photographer, engagement shoot, editing of all photos (not "special" editing like editing out zits, but all color/special effect types stuff is included), and dvds of high res images for everything.
It really depends on the skill/experience of your photog I think. We could've gotten "more" for less money but our budget was 2k and I wanted the absolute best photos I could get for that money, not the most photos. My goal was to find a photog "on their way up"... and I think my photographer has skills above her price level.
