Getting value from wedding photography

Fewer hours, clear deliverables and the right photographer.

5 min read

Photos last, so many couples put photography in their top three. You can still control the cost.

Ways to save

  • Book fewer hours: ceremony, portraits and the first part of the reception
  • Skip the second shooter for a small wedding
  • Choose digital files and order prints later
  • Ask about weekday or off-season rates

Read the contract

Check hours, number of edited photos, delivery date, image rights and what happens if they can't attend.
