How much does it cost to hire a photographer for a wedding?


One of the most significant life milestones is getting married, and for those who are fortunate enough to do so, it only happens once in a lifetime. So, what better way to celebrate such a special occasion than with photos and videos? Wedding photography may cost a bomb if you include in various factors such as location shoots, videography, live-streaming, make-up and bridal gown rental. In this article, we will be sharing the average cost of a wedding shoot in Singapore.


Pre-wedding Photoshoot (Local, half-day)


This photoshoot is done before the wedding day itself, it involves the couple dressing up in wedding gowns and suits, posing for pictures at beautiful landscapes. The average cost of a standard half-day shoot at a single location would typically range from $350 to $800, largely dependent on the location. If extra hours and locations are needed, it

will cost more due to the logistics and time needed for the additional locations and shoots.


Pre-Wedding Photoshoot (Overseas)


There are not many suitable settings for wedding photoshoots in Singapore, couples may choose to look elsewhere for a wedding photographer that fits the style of the couple. Based on expectations, a standard package for an overseas wedding shoot can cost between $5,000 to $8,000 or even more. The price can vary depending on your location.


Actual Day Wedding Photography


A typical wedding day would normally last for 10 hours, to hire a photographer for that will cost between $2,000 to $4,000. On the day of your wedding, the wedding photographer will accompany you the entire day, committed to capturing all of the significant moments of your special day. This frequently includes everything, from minor details such as the bride getting dressed to major highlights such as picking up the bride, serving tea to the in-laws, the solemnization process and of course, the wedding dinner and celebration.


Expect to spend on average between $2,000 to $4,000 for a ten-hour session. A single photographer will be assigned, while some studios may send a team of photographers that includes assistants. This, however, will cost more. Sometimes, for an additional layer of protection, couples may want to hire a freelance photographer to assist with the wedding coverage. This can typically range from $500 to $1,500.
