In reference to that gear reply, the guy with the $250,000 excavator charges on average $90/hour including machine and operator, so I feel it's a little better "value" lol

Anyways..the wifey has a bunch of friends in the kinda artsy yuppy circles in Van who have pretty wide connections and one of them recommended a woman who is a part time photog, she forwarded parts of a portfolio and her Instagram account and her photos are awesome. She basically is the anti-wedding photog and basically promotes the line I've been talking about here in that taking pictures shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg.

Her rates vary from 125 to 170 an hour all inclusive including all digital files and 25 prints.

She basically specializes in "candid" photos and as I said, her work is excellent as far as I'm concerned, and relative to other "wedding" photogs.

Not to say she's definitely going to be the one, and I really appreciate the recommendations in this thread but if it came down to it, even with a 20k budget, I'll have no photographer at all if it can't be had for a price I agree with. I couldn't look the person in the eyes showing up at my wedding charging some of these prices.

Using the suggested $4000, for 5 hours shooting and 10 hours editing that's $266/hour. Sure that's the charge out rate, not the wage, but that's more than the charge out rate for some engineers for crying out loud.
I am pretty sure if photographers worked 5 days a week 8 hours a day they would charge less.

It's good that it's on the consumer to pick up the difference in their missing work week.

in the same boat. i can see that it's just simple supply/demand at play here. The "better" photographers all probably started off at reasonable rates for the reasons Hondaracer stated in his posts, but as time went on they could see that they could charge much much more for their work because people are simply willing to pay. unfortunately, for some, the people who are willing to pay simply outnumber those who aren't.

can't blame a photographer for maximizing their own return.

If you are willing to get married on a Tuesday I bet you could get a discount.
