• Wedding: September 2017 - Poppy Ridge Golf Course

$1200, one photographer, 4 hours, high resolution digital files with printing rights, online proofing. Its called a small event package. We live in the Bay Area and everyone else I contacted was $2500 to start. This company had great reviews on Yelp and TheKnot, I really like the photography style and communication has been excellent.

We are eloping and the photographer is still almost 1200.00 and that’s for 2 hours but we do get all the digital images.

Right now, we are paying $4,000 for 6 hours and paid $500 for an engagement shoot with a different photographer (who was going to do our wedding). This includes all of the high resolution digital files. We may upgrade to the next package, which is $5,000 and includes 8 hours and an engagement shoot.

hssweethearts2013 :  $2400

Engagement session: (two locations- she came to us which was about a 3 hour drive). 100 edited photos + all unedited on disks. 40 4×6 prints. Full rights to images. 

Wedding: 2 photographers for 9+ hours (package was for 8 but the main came early and stayed late), 700+ edited pictures (I think the package was for 300 + you could pick up to 100 more? She still edited extras I requested), all the unedited (thousands), 50 prints. Full rights to all images. Edited photos were available online in a private viewing thing we could give to people where they could download them directly if they wanted. 

I’m in LA and the wedding was in San Diego. I feel like every wedding related cost varies wildly depending on where you live. For our area this was a HUGE bargain. She’s been shooting weddings for a decade and everyone else in this price range was a newbie and only included one photographer.
