Why is wedding photography so expensive?
For portrait & engagement sessions, turnaround time is 2 weeks.
Depending on what collection you book, turnaround time for wedding galleries ranges between 3-8 weeks with the average time being 6 weeks.
The number of images delivered depends on coverage time with the average wedding gallery totaling between 600-1,000 photos and unlimited downloading via your online gallery!
Prints are included in my 10 hour collection. They are always available for purchase through the gallery provided when you receive your photos. Your gallery has easy access to ordering prints of all sizes for your high resolution images!
I always say "yes" if we're both in the same area and can make it happen. It's such a great opportunity to get to know each other and get you awesome photos while we're at it! Some collections have engagement sessions built into the pricing.
Second photographers are such an integral part to the wedding day. They help me so much! They are an extension of me and can be where I can't be. Having a second photographer also ensures backup as they have their own set of equipment, etc. I highly recommend and include a second photographer in the 8 and 10 hour photography collections I offer. Some exceptions apply.
There are a lot of different factors that go into wedding photography pricing. There's a lot that goes into keeping a business running, softwares and delivery systems, equipment repairs, healthcare, photography education, the list really goes on and on. The other main expense is time. Time spent driving to location sites, time spent hiring a second photographer, time spent emailing with other vendors, time spent creating a timeline, time spent the day of the wedding and the bulk of the work — time spent going through the thousands of photos taken and editing every one chosen to deliver.
And yes, I edit every photograph that I deliver!
