Photography - Splurge or Save?

Splurge; looked around at prices, but still will end up paying a pretty penny!

Save because a friend of the family who has a photographer business is doing them for free so he can use them as a portfolio

Save! We ended up bundling our DJ, Photographer, Videographer and Photo booth vendors so we got an amazing deal.

Splurge, hands down. When all is said and done, the photos are all we'll have left to look back on. We have a tiny budget and we're spending about a third of it on our photographer. We're also both actors and know the importance of having someone behind the camera that knows what they're doing.

We splurged here too

We wound up saving on the photographer though we were prepared to splurge! The photographer we found thinks, as we do, that vendors hear “wedding” and suddenly they double or triple their prices. He hates that about the industry so keeps his pricing fair.

Splurge! Splurge! Splurge!!!! I cannot express it enough! The photos and videos will make lasting, visible memories.

I saved on photography, my photographer came with my venue💁🏼‍♀️

Splurge! Photos and Video are the only way you can look back on a whirlwind day. My photo and video are a bundle and I saved doing that, but I won't skimp on this at all.

We are lucky that we have a photographer in the family so we are saving big time

Splurge for sure!! Pictures were a top thing for us and I'm so in love with our photographers work. I'm so excited!!

We splurged for our budget, but saved compared to other photographers.

Splurge! This is super important to me, since these photos will be around a long time! Our photographer is amazing and will to travel, since she is from my hometown in another state, and she included our engagement photos at no extra cost. But she is one of the things that took a larger chunk of our budget.

I hope it will be a save, I do not plan to spend more than $1300 for a photographer. So far everyone I look into in NJ, near me costs more than that. If you can, HELP!!

Splurge! I am definitely going to be mindful of our budget limitations of course, but I am not willing to skimp on the photographer. These will be the memories you show everyone and hang in your home and look back on for years and years!

Save! My best friend’s nephew is just starting in the business. Hello, budget friendly photographer 🤪

We splurged! I knew the most important thing to me about our wedding was our photographer so I was prepared to pay a nice penny haha.

We always went back and forth on having a videographer but luckily we stumbled upon an amazing husband & wife duo that do video & photos! So overall we are technically saving (if you count both services) but I feel like we still splurged because we got a bomb a$$ photographer and added an equally bad a$$ videographer.

I splurged. I want to be able to look back and say that was the happiest day of my life.

Will say splurge since destination wedding want to have a videographer to record as well as photos...so we can send to family who are disabled and cannot make it

I plan on using two friends with really good photography skills. So between both of them I'm paying for a decent photographer times 2. I'm bound to get shots I fall in love with so that's what mattes to me. But they're giving me good deals and I trust them.
