Photographers....so expensive!!!



Boy, they're expensive! I've checked out a bunch of places online, and they tend to range in the high 1000s to mid-2000s. Some of my friends had photographers which were pricier - up to $6K or more! I'm not sure if we really need to spend that much....do we? Are all those extras (parents' albums, fancy-schmancy albums for the couple, themes, etc...) really worth it? If you've been married, did the photographer/studio try to get you to upgrade your package?

We haven't begun our official search yet. Right now, we're just compiling information. If you know of any good photographers who don't charge an arm and a leg in the Toronto area, feel free to let us know.

NOTE: In some cultures, couples go into studios for a portrait sitting, often decked in full wedding gear. The issue with this is that the bride isn't wearing her "real" dress most of the time, since these sittings can occur a month prior to the actual ceremony. In additon, there's the extra price for make-up and hair. Is there a point to that? Doesn't that drive up the cost of photography?
