## By area

| Area | Vendors | Lowest | Low quartile | Median | High quartile | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NYC | 109 | $200 | $2,950 | $4,000 | $6,500 | $20,000 |
| [The New York area](https://index.therunup.ai/cost/wedding-photographer/) | 176 | $200 | $2,500 | $3,500 | $5,500 | $20,000 |
| [Long Island](https://index.therunup.ai/cost/wedding-photographer/long-island/) | 67 | $600 | $2,750 | $3,650 | $6,500 | $20,000 |
| [North Jersey](https://index.therunup.ai/cost/wedding-photographer/north-jersey/) | 119 | $300 | $2,400 | $3,500 | $5,450 | $20,000 |
| [Westchester](https://index.therunup.ai/cost/wedding-photographer/westchester/) | 53 | $600 | $3,000 | $4,500 | $7,500 | $20,000 |

The lowest published wedding price is $200 and the highest is $20,000.

The median across the New York area is $3,500, so NYC is about 14% higher.

Almost the same vendors serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, so the same figures apply there.

For parties and other events the same photographers start lower: the median of every published starting price, for any kind of event, is $3,500 (189 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.

36 of them also publish a price per hour: the median is $360 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.
