On average, professional photographers cost around $300-$400. This price may vary depending on your location, the length of the event, the style of photos you want, and the photographer’s experience level. Seasoned photographers that bring full lighting setups and do heavily-skilled editing will probably charge quite a bit more.
The type of event or photo session may also affect pricing. For example, the cost of hiring a wedding photographer will be different than hiring a photographer for family portraits or headshots.
Packages are generally based on how many images you want and the length of the photo shoot. At least some level of editing will be included in all packages, but you should discuss how much with your photographer in advance. Some photographers will only edit a set amount of images but still give you the rest of the shots unedited for your own use.
On GigSalad, photographers are most commonly booked for 2 hours. The exact length you will need them depends on the circumstances of your event or photoshoot. If you’re booking a photographer to mingle and capture images throughout your event, then you can book them for the entire length, or have them come for an hour or two at the height of the activities.
If you’re planning family photos, an engagement photo shoot, or senior pictures, you should discuss your ideas with your photographer to determine how long you might need to capture all the shots you want. Be sure to consider location or set transitions as well as outfit changes when planning out the length of the photo session.
Many photographers will deliver your photos through a website link. These online galleries are often password-protected so your images stay private and you can choose who may access them. Some photographers may choose to deliver them on a USB drive instead of a website. You should discuss this with your photographer in advance, along with the timeframe so you know when to expect them.
Choosing the right person to capture your special moments is important so you’ll want to do your research. Start by searching for local photographers in your area and viewing their profiles and online portfolios. Look through a variety of their past photo shoots to make sure they match the style you’re going for. Then read customer reviews to see how highly recommended they are and if they were great to work with.
Communication is key in choosing the right photographer for your event or special occasion. When talking with potential photographers, be sure to ask a lot of questions and nail down as many details as possible prior to booking. If you’re not sure what to cover, check out this essential checklist for booking a photographer.
