Budget Wedding Photography

How did you determine what you spent on your Wedding Photography?
Did you have an entire wedding budget?
What factors did you base your spending with your photographer?
I’m curious to know. ![]()
Thanks!
Sorry for not clarifying – I am a wedding photographer and am curious how brides calculate this important factor into their wedding budgets. Just looking for insight at the moment.
But thank you for your comments and replies thus far!
We’re not married yet, but we’ve booked our photographer and yep, we have a total budget, broken down to every last penny.
I’m not going to lie, we totally splurged on the photographer. We both have an artistic eye, and it was really important to us to have amazing photos that we’ll keep for the rest of our lives. To us, it made sense to invest in the best. We basically booked the photographer we both liked, figured out the cost for what we wanted, and based everything else around that cost.
But for some people, that’s the food or the venue or even the dress. For us, it was the photographer. Just figure out what your priorities are and build around that (while having a set amount for your total wedding, of course).
