That still feels on the low end. It’s what I paid for my photos in 2018 and I got a friends rate.

Wow, that sounds expensive to me. Might depend on what exactly you book for the pictures. We also had a friends rate, but with like 250€ for the 2h shooting and 800€ for the rest of the wedding day. From what I have seen before, without a friends rate we would have been between 1500 and 2000€. That was 2024. Is it that much more expensive in the states?

Thats what i keep hearing, but after some research i think its a regional thing. Where i'm at the median seems to be $2500 after all fees
