Wedding Photography FAQs - How Much Does A Wedding Photographer Cost?

1. What Is The Average Price Of A Wedding Photographer In Ohio?

The cost of a wedding photographer in Ohio varies based on several factors, such as skill level and experience. Photographers in the $1500 to $3000 range are usually hobbyists or new professionals who may not have much experience in handling unforeseen circumstances like bad weather or timing issues during the wedding day. 

On the other hand, photographers in the $3000 to $5000 range are typically established professionals who have extensive experience and are equipped to handle any challenges that may arise. World-renowned photographers and national educators who command a higher fee of $5500 and above are known for their exceptional skills and reputation.

2. What Is A Reasonable Amount To Spend On A Wedding Photographer?

Around $3200 to $4500 is a good price range to ensure you have hired someone who has the experience to capture your wedding day in Ohio. This typically covers a wedding from getting ready to a portion of the open dancing at a reception. At this price, you will find a mix of photojournalism, fine art, and modern wedding photography. If you are planning to have a wedding photographer for more than 10 hours, plan to spend a little more accordingly.
