How much for Engagement pictures?

View Quoted Comment Good idea. Especially since she isn't paying for anything lol.

View Quoted Comment My FH and I are leaning towards not getting professional photos done when we marry. We plan to elope and many of our loved ones gave me negative feedback with my photos regarding to what I was wearing. Lol. I'm not much of a picture person either.

View Quoted Comment Oh wow $1150 is too expensive for me. I'm too frugal.

View Quoted Comment For us it was great. Other photographers wants 1800 and up

View Quoted Comment Whew that is a lot to me but according to google thats within the average price range.

View Quoted Comment Woah, are you the one who lives in Flordia?

View Quoted Comment Yes, she is a professional. Quite sought after actually! Her Wedding rates range from $2,600-8,000. I had no idea what engagement sessions cost, but after I saw how much some of her wedding packages were, I thought we must be getting a great deal on the engagement session! FH and I figured she must have low engagement session rates in order to bring in clientele. Then, once they realize how great she is to work with and how amazing her pictures are, they would book her for their weddings also.

View Quoted Comment Nope, I live in NJ

View Quoted Comment Do you plan on booking her for your wedding?

View Quoted Comment If we were having a local wedding, I would have booked her in a heartbeat! But, we are having a destination wedding.

View Quoted Comment Okay sorry about that.
My FH and I are leaning towards not even hiring a professional for our wedding day. We plan to elope and I'm not much of a picture person anyway.

View Quoted Comment Do what is best for you two! Either way you will enjoy it

View Quoted Comment Oh yeah, you're shooting for Prague, right?

View Quoted Comment Oh my gosh no! That was our “if you could get married anywhere” location. We are getting married in New Orleans. It was important for us to have our closest friends and family attend and we knew none of our family or friends would go all the way to Europe for a wedding. We are hoping to go to Prague for our one year anniversary (pandemic willing!🤞🏻)

Our engagement photos were included in our wedding photography package.

$235 for that sounds fantastic.

View Quoted Comment That's what I thought. Lol. My Fmil may be out of touch with what some things cost.

View Quoted Comment Do you want a recommendation? I live in New England and we paid way less than $1000 for engagement photos.

View Quoted Comment Sure! We haven’t actually decided on the photographer yet or if engagement photos are needed, so more options are always welcome!

That is a great price! Ours was included in the package we booked, but her going rate for engagement photos is $550 for a one hour session and 100 edited photos.
