any couples who plan a formal
M wedding also elect to have it
recorded with professionally-
taken photographs.
Ninety-seven percent of those
responding to a survey taken by Bride's
magazine said they arranged for
photography as part of the wedding. The
average expenditure was $485.
“The best photographs come from a
good relationship between bridal couple
and photographer,’’ says Vickie Mal,
marketing director for Professional
Photographers of America, a trade
association of photographers. She
advises couples to shop carefully.
Most photographers offer wedding
package plans. Photo studios generally
have from three to 10 different packages
at different price points. Each package
specifies the number of hours during
which the photographer will be at the
wedding taking pictures as well as the
size of the wedding album and number
of prints included.
Typically, packages start around $350
and range up to $1,000 or more. The
more costly packages provide for larger
albums, more photographs and may also
include portrait sittings taken at the
studio.
The wedding couple may elect to
make up their own package or to work
with a photographer who charges a set
fee for being at the wedding and then
bills each picture separately. However,
Ms. Mal notes that as a rule, a preset
package price will work out to be more
economical.
“Buying a package is like ordering the
table d’hote dinner. It’s less expensive
than the a la carte menu,’’ she says.
Besides a feeling of rapport with the
photographer, it’s important that the
couple like the style the photographer
works in. Visit several photo studios
before making a decision. Compare what
each offers and insist on looking at
finished albums at each studio. Ask for
and check references, as well, she
suggests.
Large photo studios often employ a
number of photographers. Make sure
that the photographer you meet and
whose samples you see is the one who
will actually be doing the work at your
wedding, she says.
