That Determine A Photographer’s Pricing
Hidden Work. A photographer doesn’t work for you only on the day of your wedding. Every meeting with potential clients is an investment of his time, whether he gets the job or not. Your photographer will spend time with you before the wedding to go over your plan for the day, your required shot list, and the design of any albums you may wish to purchase.

Once the wedding is shot, your photographer will spend hours editing, retouching, and color-correcting hundreds of images and then creating an album and/or online gallery of your wedding photos.

Intangible Artistry. Photography is a skill and an art. A professional doesn’t simply memorize what all the camera buttons do; he or she is able to capture the beauty and emotion of your day in a unique way. Good photos are more than just technically correct, they are special.

Compatibility With Your Wedding Photographer
Unlike a caterer or florist, a wedding photographer is someone you need to feel personally comfortable with. He or she will be following you around on your wedding day and capturing your emotions. No matter how good his samples might be, if the photographer makes you uncomfortable, you’ll look it in your photos. If he intimidates you so much that you’re afraid to ask for the shots you want, well, you may not get them.

Ideally your photographer will make you feel relaxed and at ease so that you begin to forget he is even there. If it’s something you would like, he should be willing to meet with you as the event approaches to go over your plans for the day and any required shot lists or portrait lists.

Photographer’s Prices
Wedding photography can be expensive. If you’ve already begun to plan your wedding, you probably have a sense of what your budget for photography will be. Costs can range from free (friend or family takes photos as a gift to you) to RM1,000 and up. Prices will also depend on your location – fees are usually higher in major cities. Generally, a good photographer in a large market will cost between RM5,000 and RM15,000. Students or “second shooters” working on solo portfolios will be cheaper.
