Vendors: how many publish a wedding price. Half of them start between the low and high quartile.
The lowest published wedding price is $200 and the highest is $20,000.
For parties and other events the same photographers start lower: the median of every published starting price, for any kind of event, is $3,000 (313 vendors).
These are advertised starting prices for a whole wedding, not quotes. The final price depends on the date, the hours, the guest count and extras, so confirm with the vendor before booking.
55 of them also publish a price per hour: the median is $380 per hour.
Method
How we get this figure: we read each vendor's own website and record a price only when the site states it, keeping the page it came from and the date we checked it, and a second reader checks each price against its page. A price counts as a wedding price when the vendor's site says it is for a wedding and it covers the whole event. We leave out prices per hour or per guest, and prices for something else, such as a ceremony only, an elopement, an engagement session, a photo booth or video. When a vendor publishes more than one wedding price, we use the lowest. The median and quartiles are rounded to $10, and we give a figure only when at least 8 vendors publish a wedding price. How the index works.
