How much do wedding photography sessions cost?

[Theo]

A US-based wedding photographer contacted me for a .com as he owns the .biz for his professional web site. How much does a wedding photography session cost nowadays?

Low end - $1,000
Hi end - $25G to $250G

250g = 25k ?

for 8 hours photoshooting?

Theo, keep the domain, and change your profession

LOL
That's funniest post ever

Actually, that's conservative in some areas. You'd be surprised how much upscale weddings cost in Istanbul, for example. In some cultures, the father of the bride wants to spend as much as possible.

In Italy a session cost 2k - 4k

I understand "spend as much as possible" but comeon, I think for 25k you will have some famous singer come and do a few songs on the wedding. 25k for the photo dude only, thats rediculess, I cannot believe it.

For 25k you can have an harem and some good reasons for stay single

Anyway, I was trying to gauge what a wedding photographer makes per session in order to quote a price.

25K-250K - but at this level you're talking highest quality, tons of photos, professional movie quality videos (DVDs) etc..

Most will probabaly run $1K-$5K and that includes a set of proofs.

We went to a Greek wedding 2 weeks ago, dont know what they paid the photographer but I can easily find out.

 

[Theo]

Was it a big fat one?

 

[draggar]

Acro - are you looking for a barter trade and getting married?

 

[Theo]

No, I'm looking for some nice cold cash

300 people at the Hyatt in Long Beach... Not real big. The ceremony was at the Greek Orthodox Church, Greek Girl and a Irishman. Very nice couple.

All at the expense of the Father of the bride, who is a Cardiologist... Now that's a profession to get into. :yes:

A Greek and Irish temper mix, OMG! I forecast some big CA quakes lol
