price for my wedding photography

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten

Although I understand that it would perhaps be more convenient to find the details on my prices directly online, without having to ask, my choice has always been not to publish my price list on the web, but to make it available on request via email or direct contact.

I think for couples with high expectations of their wedding day, the choice of their photographer should begin by looking at his style and quality of photography. By concentrating on pricing early on instead, there’s a risk of loosing sight of the most important thing: the pictures.

Indeed budget plays an important role, but understanding the value of what you buy is possibly more important than the price you are going to pay. Because if you don’t value what you buy you’ll be paying too much, whatever the price. This holds true especially in those cases, where the real value of what is being purchased lies not in its tangible property, but rather in the emotional side of it. Exactly the case with wedding photos.

The real value of wedding photography lies in the memories it contains, in the emotions it generates, in the testimony given to future generations. These values are set by the quality of the photographs and in their ability to engage. Beautiful, emotional wedding pictures represent for the newlyweds an enduring value that is tangible in the years to come, long after the price paid for them will be forgotten.

By not publishing my rates on line, I’m implicitly inviting you to focus on my photography first, to see if my pictures speak to you, if you can relate to them. Ask yourself if this is what you’d like keep, after your wedding day is long gone. Can you see yourself in my pictures? The opportunity to create real value for you as a couple and for your future generations with your wedding photographs is unique and it only happens once. There’s no second chance to get this right, in case you choose the wrong photographer. Pricing is certainly an important and delicate subject that I like to discuss in detail with my clients, but even more important is the value that my wedding photography can and will represent for my clients.

The price quote for your wedding depends on many factors, such as the requested date (on or off season, weekend or week day), the requested coverage time, where the wedding will take place, whether I will need to stay overnight,  your specific expectations, the type of delivery (album / files) and therefore your final investment may vary greatly. My suggestion is to get in touch and let me know more about your wedding, go together through my brochure and come up with your personalized quote. I would love to hear from you!
