Save on wedding photography
- How
In the previous article, we discussed why wedding photography is so expensive. But how can we capture amazing memories and still save on wedding photography?
Saving money on wedding photography is always a controversial topic. Photos and videos are actually the only tangible memories you will have with you after everyone has left and the party is over. In fact, if there is one recommendation former brides and grooms give to future brides and grooms, it is not to skimp on photographers.
However, wedding photography constitutes a significant portion of the wedding budget, and there are some tricks to ensure that you still get fantastic pictures while being able to save on wedding photography. By choosing an experienced photographer with reasonable prices, carefully planning the timing of the photo sessions, and considering alternative packages or services, you can achieve great results without compromising on quality.
But let’s delve into more detail!
Choose a budget you are comfortable with
First and foremost, consider your budget and determine the amount you are willing to invest in your wedding photographer. It is essential to have a clear understanding of your financial limitations before proceeding. Once you have established your budget, conduct a search for photographers within that specific price range. If you are working with a tighter budget, explore options such as new professionals or photography students. Although they may have limited experience, their determination to excel can compensate for any shortcomings.
While professional and well-established photographers occasionally offer discounts or promotions, it is important to note that they are typically less open to negotiations. Keep this in mind when considering your options and remember to weigh the value of experience against your budgetary constraints.
Look for offers and discounts
It’s worth noting that some photographers may offer discounts for early bookings or to fill the remaining dates in their calendars.
Nevertheless, it’s important to consider that prices can fluctuate due to factors like inflation or the photographer’s growing popularity. By securing your photographer early, you can ultimately save on your wedding photography, even if an immediate discount isn’t available.
Digital over prints
As mentioned earlier, prints can be quite costly. By opting for digital files only, you have the freedom to print your photos as many times as you wish, resulting in significant cost savings. Additionally, digital prints can be easily shared with family and friends via email, enabling them to obtain their own copies without incurring any additional expenses.
It’s better to have a professional photographer for few hours than no photographer at all
We previously saw how time is one of the reason why wedding photography is expensive.
Instead of completely forgoing a professional photographer, it is worth considering the option of finding someone who offers coverage for even just a few hours. By opting for 1 or 2 hours with a professional photographer, you can obtain a significant amount of high-quality, long-lasting, and unique memories.
