Wedding Photographer Prices – Understanding the Prices

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you will likely notice there is a difference in prices between the photographers. For many people, understanding this is difficult. We are going to try and help you understand why there is a fluctuation in wedding photographer prices from location to experience. However, there are other factors that could cause the rates to vary, but these are the most common ones.

The amount of experience the wedding photographer has weighs heavily on the wedding photographer prices. Generally speaking, as a photographer or photographer studio increases in popularity and knowledge the rates will go up slightly to increase profit. A new photographer will generally keep their rates competitive but on the low side.


This enhances the possibilities of getting their business name better known in the area. If the new photographer jumps right in with high prices, he or she will likely be overlooked and left without any clients. Whereas, if the wedding photographer prices are on the lower side they are ensuring more clients on a tighter budget which often is a great way to get their name out and in the industry.

Location is also a weighing factor for the wedding photographer prices. If you live in an area that is about average in yearly earnings, you can expect to pay a bit more for your wedding photographer. This is generally because the photographer knows he will make as much per wedding as he would like to simply because he is in a prime location.

Unfortunately, if you live in an area that is well below average you will should be able to find wedding photographer prices that are fairly inexpensive. However, make sure you have seen actual photographs taken by the photographer. This will ensure you are about to hire a photographer that can actually take beautiful photographs.

The location of the wedding also can be a factor for the wedding photographer prices. For example, if you are planning on getting married at a destination location, this could cost you more money.

In the event that your photographer is not going to charge you more money could be taken as an indication that you will be responsible for footing the rental car bills, the airfare both ways and at least two meals per day for the photographer. This is usually why many bride and grooms hire a photographer in the location where they are getting married.

Camera Lens F-Stop Values Explained

Lens aperture settings are commonly knows as f-stops. The letter "f" is an abbreviation of the term "focal-ratio", which describes the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the light entrance pupil (more commonly called the aperture). The standard sequence of f-stops is: f/1.4 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22 On this scale, an f/1.4 setting is the largest aperture, while f/22 is the smallest, and each f-stop in the sequence is half the size of its neighbour to the left, and twice the size of its neighbour to the right. In other words, f/5.6 permits the passage of twice as much light as f/8, but only half the light of f/4. Low f-stop numbers represent larger apertures, and higher f-stop numbers indicate smaller apertures because the f-stop is a ratio is between the size of the aperture and the focal length of the lens; i.e. a bigger number represents a larger difference. Here's the maths for a 50mm lens. f-stop / Diameter (...
