Why is Wedding Photography So Expensive?


Hello! This is Becky & Ryan from Black Forest Photography. We are going to answer some common questions asked about wedding photography. So lets start with this one!


Q: Quality wedding photography is more expensive than I expected. Why is that?

A: Simply put, quality wedding photography is only 'too expensive' to those who do not believe it is important. Almost everyone knows someone who has had a bad wedding photography experience. They will generally tell you that the money they saved by cutting corners on their photography was not worth it... Especially now that their memories and images of their once in a lifetime day cannot be replaced... ever...at any cost! There are plenty of money saving tips and ideas for your wedding day but, photography is not one of them. Your wedding photos are the ONLY thing that you will take with you as a permanent record of that beautiful day. Quality wedding photography requires a remarkable amount of skill, patience, and people skills. The equipment necessary to provide the quality images we produce must be extremely reliable and of top quality. This equipment must also be redundant so you have a back up in case of failure. Other factors are also involved such as liability insurance, transportation, etc. Costs vary greatly in the Colorado Springs area. However, for this market, you should budget $2,000.00 and up for quality wedding photography. We hope this was helpful and informative.
