How much does Wedding Photography Cost in Sydney

Hey, there! If you're planning your dream wedding in Sydney, you're probably curious about wedding photography costs and why costs vary so much. We, at Two Peaches Photography, are here to give you the lowdown on what factors can impact the pricing. So, sit back, relax and let's dive right in!

1. Hours of Coverage

Alright, so how much coverage do you need? From the "I do's" to the epic dance party, it all matters! Longer events with more coverage naturally mean higher costs. So, have a chat with us about your schedule, and we'll tailor a package to fit your needs and budget.

A wedding can be broken down into the following parts

The Morning Getting Ready
The Ceremony
The wedding couple + bridal party portrait session
The big party also known as the reception!!
The Farewell.

Depending on which parts of the weddings you want covered hours of coverage can range from 6hrs all the way up to 14hrs. Work with your photographer to come up with a package that best suits your coverage needs. This will influence the cost of your wedding photography coverage.

2. One Photographer vs. Two

Choosing between one or two photographers is like deciding between a single scoop or a double scoop of ice cream. Two photographers mean we can capture those tear-jerking moments from different angles. It might bump up the cost a bit, but trust us, you'll cherish those extra shots forever.

The Benefits of Two Wedding Photographers instead of One

Get more angles of coverage at any given time. More angles means more photos. Less likely to miss that moment!
We can cover two areas at any given time. Eg.
Boys Prep + Girls Prep
1 Photographer can photograph details (church\ceremony area and Reception) while the other focuses on the bride and grooms. Going to 1 photographer meaning we have to be in a lot of places which means some photos might get missed.
We can split the teams. 1 photographer can focus on the bride and groom portraits while the other can focus on the bridal party. More fun more photos.
Family photos!! Family photos are very very important at a wedding. By having two photographers you can have one photographer making sure we grab the all important family and friends photos!!

3. Inclusions of Wedding AlbumsAND PRINTS

Picture this: flipping through a stunning wedding album that tells your love story in a tangible, heartfelt way. What about hanging that favourite wedding photo/family photo on the wall of your home! Our album packages come in different sizes, styles, and materials to suit your taste and hand made by the best in the business Queensberry Wedding Albums. It's more than just photos – it's a cherished keepsake! Different packages will impact the costs.

4. Number of Professionally Edited Photos Delivered

Did you know not every wedding photographer edits your wedding photos??? A lot of wedding photographers dump your "raw" unedited photos onto a disk and ask you to sort and cull an agreed number 50-300 and they will only edit those. Everything else is untouched. Now, let's talk about those professionally edited photos. All our wedding photography packages include a minimum set number of edited shots ranging from 600-1000+. If you want more, no worries, theres a good chance you will be delivered way more than what your package includes. We love wedding photography and we love editing all that we can deliver you. We want you to have all your favorite moments preserved perfectly.

5. Extra Charges (e.g., Travel Costs, Overtime): "No Sneaky Surprises!"

We like to keep things transparent, so you know exactly what you're getting into. If your wedding's outside of Sydney, there might be some travel expenses involved. Also, if the party keeps going late into the night, and you want us there, we'll discuss overtime charges upfront. All our additional costs are clear and transparent and reasonable. We wont charge you something that isnt agreed or isnt listed in our contract!

6. Wedding Photographer's Experience and Reputation

Reputation and experience is the biggest factor that drives cost of wedding package. The more experienced the crew, the more in demand they are by other studios keen to nick our talented team of photographers and videographers. We look after our team well!
