Скачать или смотреть Wedding Photography Budget: Who Pays?

"When planning a wedding, one of the biggest questions couples face is: Who pays for photography and videography? Traditionally, this was the responsibility of the bride's family, but times have changed. Today, many couples take on the cost themselves, sometimes with help from parents or other family members. So, how can you budget wisely for this crucial part of your big day? Let’s break it down."

"First, let’s talk about videography. Most wedding videographers offer a set package based on the style and method you choose. This often includes professional editing, a selection of baby and engagement photos, favorite music, a high-quality master video, and extra copies to share. The main additional cost? Overtime—if you want them to stay past the agreed time, expect to pay extra."

"Photography is a different ballgame because it can easily spiral beyond your initial budget. The key? Be realistic about what you need. Consider the number of prints, albums, and enlargements you’ll want. And don’t forget about your parents—will they want their own albums and extra prints? Factoring in these costs upfront can save money and help you decide whether to split the cost with family."

"If your parents are contributing, approach the topic sensitively. Wedding photography and videography aren’t cheap, so if they have a different budget in mind, be prepared to compromise. For example, if your dream package costs $4,000 for photography and $1,500 for videography, but your parents are only willing to contribute $3,000 total, consider adjusting your package or paying the difference yourselves. One thing’s for sure—no one ever regrets spending too much on capturing their special day, but many regret spending too little."

"A gratuity for your photographer isn’t required, but it’s a nice gesture. If you want to tip, $25 to $50 is a good range. Even better? A heartfelt thank-you note, a small gift, or a glowing online review. Referrals go a long way in the wedding photography business!"

"Wedding photos and videos last a lifetime, so make sure to budget wisely and choose a photographer and videographer who match your vision. Want more wedding planning tips? Like and subscribe for more helpful insights!"
