What’s an affordable price for an Oklahoma Wedding photograher?
Wedding photography is a special and hopefully memorable experience for couples, and it’s important to find the right photographer to capture their special day. When choosing a wedding photographer, the most important factors to consider are pricing and style.
The cost of wedding photography can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the photographer's experience, the number of hours of coverage, the size of the wedding, the number of photographers needed, whether you live in Oklahoma or another part of the country and the type of photo package offered.
Additional Wedding Photo Expenses
Wedding photography packages can range anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 or more depending on the amount of photographer and whether if you need a wedding video or not as well. However, it's important to keep in mind that the cost of wedding photography is not only determined by the photographer's fees but also includes other expenses, such as equipment, editing, travel, and time in post-production.
While a basic wedding photography package typically includes 4 to 8 hours of coverage on the wedding day, an engagement session, digital copies of the images, and if requested a printed photo album. I like to offer affordable deals on high end photography. I have shot weddings where the couple only needed 30 minutes to two hours of coverage. This can greatly reduce the cost. Some people rely more heavily on a photo booth for the after party. Some photographers may offer additional services, such as overtime coverage, a second photographer, extra editing, or a videographer. These additional services will increase the cost of the wedding photography package.
Setting a Budget
When looking for a wedding photographer, it's important to set a budget and determine what is important to you. Once you have a clear idea of your budget, you can start your search for a photographer who offers a package that fits your needs and budget. Be sure to research and compare different photographers and their packages, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Wedding Photography Styles
When meeting with photographers, be sure to ask about their experience, their portfolio, and their approach to wedding photography. It's also important to consider the personality and communication style of the photographer, as you might want someone who will be easy to work with and who will be able to capture the essence of your wedding day.
I personally like to create a style and approach for each wedding including a specific set of editing presets and filters. I also like to meet with the client ahead of time and discuss what style of photos they like so I can choose which lenses I will be working with primarily, see if they need any video, decide if we want any drone footage and whether or not to bring external lighting depending on time and lighting situations.

In conclusion, the cost of wedding photography can vary greatly, and it's important to consider all of the factors when choosing a photographer. Do your research, set a budget, and choose a photographer who offers a package that fits your needs and budget. With the right photographer, you can be sure that your special day will be captured in a way that you will cherish for years to come.
