Is $2,000 a Lot for Wedding Photography?
$2,000 is not a lot for a full traditional Los Angeles wedding day at an established studio. Most experienced full-day quotes in this city sit higher.
$2,000 can be a fair amount for a shorter day: courthouse, micro wedding, or a tight ceremony-and-portraits block.
Why the same number feels cheap or expensive
If you are comparing $2,000 to eight- and ten-hour Saturday packages with second shooters, it looks low. If you are comparing it to two hours of portraits, it can look high.
Name the hours first. Then judge the money.

What to watch at this price
Very low full-day quotes sometimes mean inexperience, no backups, or files that arrive late and lightly edited. There is also a ton of fraud out there. No website and only a limited profile on Instagram are huge red flags. That is not always true—but it is why red flags matter more at bargain numbers.
Ask to see an entire wedding, not three pretty frames. Ask who shows up. Ask when you get the gallery. Make them prove it by having access to when the event date was and when it was shared. You can see all of ours on our Recent Events tab.
Our hours-based pricing is on the booking page. Work: portfolio.
