Good wedding photography
Many people often wonder why some wedding photographers charge so much for their services. You can easily find a full day coverage and two photographers for £850. Why others have much higher wedding photography prices such as £3000? Why is good wedding photography so expensive sometimes?
Low wedding photography prices
If photography is important to you and if you want to be sure that the most amazing moments of your wedding day will be captured beautifully, you probably won’t risk hiring a photographer who charges less than a £1000 for a full day. Every photographer has to start their career somewhere so very often this is the actual reason why you can find inexpensive wedding photography. The photographer might be:
- either an up-and-coming talent still unsure of their photographic skills, not confident yet,
- new to the wedding photography industry, shooting weddings part time, and has a regular 9-5 job,
- or maybe simply this is just ‘easy money’ for him. In this case such photographer might just not care about the real story and all the important moments that unfold during a wedding day.
Think twice before booking an inexpensive wedding photographer
For all the above reasons, there is a chance that your wedding memories will not be captured properly. And this is something to really think about because these are the pictures you will be looking at for the rest of your lives. Is it worth saving £500-£1000 on good wedding photography? I don’t think so! So what are the other options?
Higher wedding photography prices
Being expensive has a good reason behind it, because the high price doesn’t just appear out of nowhere. A good photographer is often booked well in advance because the clients atually WANT his talent. They want to feel safe and they dream of having those amazing photographs.
High quality wedding photography
Every photographer has their own unique way of seeing the world and that skill attracts clients. If a photographer starts with low prices and is talented – his or her calendar becomes full very quickly. Therefore, in order to make sure that the clients feel loved, treated well, have the right amount of attention, and basically the best customer care, the photographer has to ensure that only a limited number of weddings are in his diary each year.
Limited amount of dates
In this case the photography prices get higher but the quality of the finished product is much better too. Wedding photographers can only fit in a certain amount of weddings per year and maintain a good customer service, professional development and a smoothly-run business at the same time.
They cannot really upscale and outsource – because that would no longer be them. So if you spot good wedding photography – there is a chance that that photographer is already booked. But they don’t have to be. At the higher end many great photographers can actually still be available on your wedding date whilst being at their sweet spot of the number of weddings they book each year – so not everything is lost and you might still get lucky!
Wedding photography investment
A good wedding photographer is a great investment, you are paying for the quality of your images AND for the excellent customer service. A good photographer is creative and sensitive, he or she notices every important and emotional moment during your wedding day. Their talent and experience is key but the choice is yours.
Wedding photography choice
This choice is very important because good wedding photography and great wedding photographs are something that will stay with you forever, they are your legacy. If you want to be happy and always love your wedding images please choose this one wisely. We know it is tempting to save £500 or £1000 right now – but when you think about the whole life and your wedding memories – is this really worth that risk?
