Prices for Photography

If you’ve been shopping for photography services, you may notice that many photographers don’t clearly state their prices on their website, especially for weddings.

When I went to determine the wedding pricing for Moments in Time Images, I did some research to see what other companies were charging. It was interesting to see how many photography businesses won’t tell you their pricing for wedding photography and video. I’m not sure why that is. Maybe they think there are so many variables to consider that each person’s pricing is different.

Many photographers don’t identify their prices

Take a look for yourself. You will see a lot of photographers use language such as “pricing starts at X” or “contact us for your customized quote.”

I’m sure these photographers think that’s a good thing. Maybe it gets potential customers contacting them more for pricing information. Moments in Time Images falls out of the norm in this regard. I believe in being upfront with our prices. That is why you will find a complete outline of our package prices on our website along with a list of what these packages include.

For example, you will notice that we have three photography packages at three different price points. With video, we have even more packages. In each package our list will tell a potential customer everything received for that price.

Now I must say that these package prices aren’t necessarily set in stone. Say, for example, someone doesn’t want the engagement photo shoot that comes in our wedding photography packages. I’m fine with removing that and adjusting the price accordingly. Or if someone wants something completely different, we can put together a customized package that fits their needs.

I do, however, think it’s a good idea to give potential customers an idea of what your prices are while they are investigating you. This will tell them right up front whether they can afford your services or not. I personally believe many people would be hesitant to contact a business if they really don’t have an idea of what their price would be.

I my mind, telling someone that wedding prices start at a particular figure gives them no idea of how much their actual price will be. I think these companies should at least say wedding packages range from X to X, giving a starting and an ending amount. That way people wouldn’t be in for a surprise when they get their quote.
