Prices

You will find that prices vary considerably, and generally speaking you get what you pay for! The more experienced the photographer, the more he or she will charge.

The price will also vary depending on the total time the photographer expects to spend at your wedding, the approximate number of photographs to be taken, the number of pictures included in any package deal (not necessarily the same thing), and the type and quality of the album.

Be wary of the package that contains, say, 20 photographs from a selection of 24. There is not much leeway here for failures! Equally, be suspicious of the deal that offers, say, 120 photographs for a very low price, for it will probably be based on slapdash shooting and cheap laboratory prints.

Ask the photographer to explain the pricing and to tell you precisely about any extras that may be involved.

Remember that the number of photographs supplied and the size are of less importance than the content of the images. You may be better off settling for fewer or smaller pictures if they are taken with more care, greater sensitivity, and with more regard to your wishes. If there are any you really love they can always be reprinted at a later date.
