Martha was amazing!! She was very accommodating of the time constraints we were faced with and was able to capture the smallest of moments. She is also extremely affordable!! I love looking at the pictures from our day at the courthouse and have already picked which ones to place around our house. I highly suggest her for any event!

How Much of Your Wedding Budget Should Go to Photography?
How Much of Your Wedding Budget Should Go to Photography?
When it comes to wedding planning, one of the most significant decisions you'll face is how to allocate your budget. Among the myriad of expenses, wedding photography holds a special place. It's not just about capturing moments; it's about preserving memories of one of the most important days of your life. So, how much of your wedding budget should go towards photography?
Understanding the Value of Wedding Photography
Before diving into percentages, it's essential to understand the value of wedding photography. Unlike the flowers, cake, or even the venue, photos are what endure long after the day is over. They are the tangible memories you'll revisit on anniversaries, share with future generations, and look back on throughout your life together. This perspective helps in appreciating why wedding photography is often considered a significant investment.
Recommended Budget Allocation
The general recommendation by wedding planning experts is to allocate approximately 10-15% of your total wedding budget to photography. This percentage can vary based on several factors, including the importance of photography to you, the location of your wedding, and the photographer's experience and package offerings.
Factors Influencing Photography Budget
Priority: If photography is a top priority for you, consider allocating a higher percentage of your budget to ensure you get a photographer whose style you love.
Location: In some areas, wedding photography costs more due to higher demand or the cost of living. Research local photographers to get an idea of what to expect.
Photographer’s Experience: More experienced photographers typically charge more for their expertise and artistic skill. Their packages might also include additional services like engagement shoots or special albums.
Package Details: Look at what's included in the photography packages you're considering. Some photographers offer comprehensive packages that include extras like a second shooter or special editing, which can offer more value for your investment.
Making It Work for Your Budget
Adjust Priorities: If you find a photographer you love but their rates are a bit high, see if there's flexibility elsewhere in your budget.
Custom Packages: Some photographers are willing to customize a package to fit your budget and needs. Don't hesitate to ask.
Consider the Off-Season: Booking your wedding during the off-season can sometimes lead to discounts or more negotiable rates.
Conclusion
Allocating 10-15% of your wedding budget to photography is a recommended starting point, but the final decision should reflect your priorities and the unique details of your wedding. Remember, when the day is done, your photos will be one of the few lasting reminders of your special day. Choosing the right photographer and allocating an appropriate portion of your budget to capture your memories is an investment in preserving your wedding day's joy and emotions for years to come.
