I want to book a photographer and was wondering how I can keep the price down without compromising on quality?
This is a great question and a tricky one to answer. Good quality in any industry, generally comes with a price tag that reflects the level of experience, skill and equipment used. This will vary further depending on what's included in the service, as someone including physical products such as albums and prints will usually have a higher price than someone offering a digital service. To achieve quality photography and remain within a reasonable budget, look for a photographer whose work and style you like. Once you've narrowed this down, contact the company to see if they offer a shorter elopement service or a minimum number of hours. These services became popular during the pandemic and have remained in favour with couples preferring a more intimate or scaled-down wedding. If your big day is during the week or out wedding season, you may find photographers are more open to discussing a discount.
