EXPERIENCE + EDUCATION
Photographers who have been professionally educated and trained in wedding photography, have more years of experience and invest in continuing education will naturally require a higher investment than someone who is just entering the business.

NUMBER OF WEDDINGS
When a photographer accepts a large number of weddings per year, the investment will typically be lower because the studio spends less personal time with each client, and less time creating custom stylized imagery and custom designed products. Photographers who accept a limited number of weddings per year will typically require a higher investment because of the increased personal attention with their clients and time involved creating custom imagery and custom designed products.

CUSTOM ARTWORK
Photographers who invest a large portion of their time providing clients with custom stylized, professionally enhanced and retouched images, as well as custom designed products will require a higher investment than those who don't spend the same about of time creating finished artwork.

QUALITY OF PRODUCTS
As previously mentioned, there are dozens of professional album companies and print houses available to photographers, all ranging in quality of print, products, construction and expense. Not all products are created equal and it's important to take your time evaluating a photographer's products to understand why an investment would be more or less than another studio.
