About this calculator

Estimate the total cost of hiring a wedding photographer based on hourly rate, coverage hours, second shooter, and add-ons like albums and travel.

What's a typical wedding photography budget?

Many couples spend between $2,000 and $5,000 depending on region, hours of coverage, and add-ons like albums and second shooters.

Should I always add a second shooter?

A second shooter is helpful for large weddings or multiple locations, capturing different angles and both partners getting ready simultaneously.

Are travel fees negotiable?

Travel fees often depend on distance and may be waived for local venues, so it's worth asking your photographer directly.
