Every wedding needs pictures. They capture memories of one of the most important days of your life and will forever give you pleasure. You know you want and what you need.. but the next decision is a tough one. Who do you hire and how much should you pay for your photos?
When you start your search of wedding photographers you’re going to find a wide assortment of packages and costs. Sometimes the photographer can cost more than your dress, reception and flowers combined!
While it is important to find a professional who knows what they’re doing, it is also important to not overspend. Just because one costs more doesn't mean they’re a better photographer. Also, many friends and family members may approach you and offer to do your photos….that is great but make sure they have the wedding experience needed to get you the best pictures possible. Remember, there are no do-overs on your wedding!
Ask the person you’re considering hiring for a portfolio of weddings they’ve done. It is important to remember that not all great photographers know how to photograph a wedding. Positioning, what gives a great picture, what doesn’t, who should be where and when….the good ones know all of the answers. It is important to have a photographer that knows how to shoot your wedding in the tricky lighting of outdoors, special needs indoors and all of the traditional shots.
We have found that photographers can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 for a 4 hour shoot. But what if your wedding and reception are only going to be an hour or two? Most photographers won’t even consider shooting that but LakeFront Wedding’s talented team of photographers have created special packages for the shorter wedding. Why should you have to pay for what you’re not going to need? So many more things you could spend that extra few thousand dollars on!
Imagine watching videos of your wedding on your 25th anniversary! Pictures are great but there is something about a well made video that you can watch and share with your loved ones. This is another category where we can give you a great value at hundreds less than many other videographers. At Lakefront, our video services start with a standard DVD with a scenic Lake Tahoe introduction for only $250! You can upgrade and get special packages where the cost is $250/hr for services and an extensive assortment of choices.
Look at our pages of photographer choices and you can see how beautiful your wedding pictures will be. You don’t want to rely on assorted throw-away cameras to capture your special day (though those can be fun for extras at the reception).
