How we collected the prices
- Own websites only. Every price comes from the photographer’s own pricing page. Directory listings, social posts and “average cost” articles are not used.
- Checked word for word. For each price we saved the exact sentence it appears in, then re-opened the page and confirmed the sentence was there before including it.
- Full weddings. Elopement, courthouse and packages under four hours are recorded but left out of the starting price. Bundles with video are left out.
- Spread across each state. Photographers were found through ordinary searches in at least three metro areas per state, in the order results appeared. A state gets its own page once it has at least twelve verified price lists.
- Prices as published. Figures are before tax, travel and add-ons. Where a photographer gives a delivery window, such as “6 to 8 weeks”, we record the longer end. Prices were collected between 4 November 2026 and 4 November 2026.
