Frequently Asked Questions on Wedding Photographers in Raleigh, NC and The Triangle
Q: Should I book a photographer that is charging half of what the others cost?
A: Unless you just don’t care, we advise you to hire a professional photographer who is charging at least industry standard – which is around $3,000-$4,000 for starting packages. If they are charging much less than that, they might not have proper equipment, insurance or even the ability to sustain a business (you want your images, right?). New photographers sometimes offer lower rates, but please remember that experience goes a long way: knowing where to be at the right time throughout the day, confidence in directing your family and expertise with lighting.
Q: If $3,000 is the starting price, what more could be tacked on?
A: Most wedding photographers in Raleigh, NC and the Triangle frame their offerings in packages. Their basic deal might include one photographer covering the end of getting ready time, to the end of the wedding. The next level up package might be a few extra hours of getting ready time, and a second day-of shooter. Other extra inclusions could be photo shoots outside of the wedding day, and photo album or print options.
