Why Do Wedding Photographers Cost So Much? | Las Vegas Weddings

The beautiful Jensen wedding was a complete success! In their inquiry, they hoped for an elopement-style wedding full of classic Las Vegas charm. At first, Sydney was hesitant to commit so much of their wedding budget to a high quality photographer but in the end, she trusted me and boy, did it pay off!

This hesitation is SO common when planning a wedding and seeing just how much more everything costs as soon as you throw the word “wedding” in there. And look, I get it — but TRUST when I say it’s not for no reason! Here’s why investing so much in a high quality photographer (or any vendor) is worth it:

First and most obvious is that there is no re-doing a wedding. It’s high-stakes, high-emotion, and incredibly high-value. If the weather totally ruins an engagement session, we can do it again! But weddings? They’re one-and-done, especially with vendors and guests and rentals and so much more all lined up for that one date. If your photos turn out poorly, there is no other chance. Don’t trust that to just anyone!

Not only are these photos the only ones you will ever have of your wedding day, but these are photos that will outlive you! Your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many more generations will cherish these heirlooms. Not to mention they may include family members who you rarely see, or who your children and grandchildren will only get to know through photos. The investment becomes pennies in comparison.

Last, and most valuable IMO, an experienced photographer will know their way around the venue, plus can help you stay on track and on time throughout the day. Especially with elopements and more intimate weddings, your photographer often ends up stepping into the planner role as you approach your big day. This type of guidance is invaluable, trust me!!
