For a 2025 Wedding 9 hours of Photography only is $4900. You can book both Photo + Video though and I give a 10% off when you book both. ALso If you book on of my contracting shooters instead of me personally you will recieve a 15% off how amazing! So many of my couple ask for my contractors these days as they had a friend who had them in the past and loved them and why not for the discount too, free's me up for the bigger weddings and saves you money and everyone is happy.
Hi there,

Hi, great question!
Photography is a significant investment in your wedding because those pictures will last a lifetime. You can typically expect 9 hours of photography for approximately $4,000. AT Black Avenue Productions, we offer a 10-hour coverage for less - complete with the following inclusions:
Hi my 9 hour package is $2448
Factors such as location, number of guests do influence the cost. That said you would expect to pay around the $3k mark. This includes time with the clients before the wedding, equipment hire, time on the day and editing and online access to your images for download.

Hi! My 8-hour package is $1990, and with an extra hour it would be $2190:)
For 9hrs the price would be $2500 plus any travel expenses for venues outside of metro melbourne.
This package includes:
- 1 photographer.
- 2 locations (ceremony and reception should they take place in different locations. Additional locations will incur aditional travel expenses.)
- I don't believe in photo caps so you will recieve a full edited gallery. This is usually between 500 & 700 photos.
With this package I also throw in pre wedding couples photos and postcard sized 'Thank You' cards for sending to guests after the wedding.

Ask a question
It's a how long is a piece of string question! I'm charging $2,500 for all-day shooting, no time limits. I believe the average in NSW is $1,500-$4,500 (so say some wedding surveys). But you can find photographers around Sydney who will charge $25,000.
Main variables are:
-- number of shooters;
-- what the deliverables are (eg: digital download only, or album, or even other printed material, like thank you cards for guests, canvases, etc).
But the biggest variable is simply what the photographer thinks they're worth (or can get away with charging)! Which kind of depends on their experience and skill level, how well known they are, how many awards they've won, etc. I mean, everyone has a unique way of looking at the world, and since part of what you're paying for is that intangible, unique creativity, then it's not straightforward to put a valuation on it, and say what it should be worth. It's like, "How much should a painting be worth?"
