How to get a good quality wedding photographer for under $1,000

If you’re getting married in your backyard and the total wedding budget is $5,000, you’re probably not wanting to invest in a ‘cheap’ wedding photography package at the $3,000 end of the scale.  Instead, you’ll be looking for the highest quality wedding photographer you can find for under $1,000.  

Wedding photographers are good peoples.  Not to generalise, but they tend to love a good love story and in particular - couples who struggle to keep their hands off each other.  As artists they enjoy challenging themselves to create stunning imagery and having an awesome couple with great chemistry and big smiles to work with, is a great start towards an awesome artwork.  You may find you have a little negotiating power.

Unlike large corporate businesses with fixed policies and pricing structures, wedding photographers often work alone and have more flexibility with packages.  Keep in mind that your master artist still needs to eat.  

You’ll find a couple of budget packages around $1,000 in our list of affordable wedding photographers in Sydney

Almost all wedding venues from the Shoalhaven to the far South Coast offer cheaper wedding packages midweek and in the off-peak winter season. Prices usually hit peak from mid August through to mid April, so if you’re aiming to save on your budget it’s worth considering planning your wedding either side of these months.

Some reception venues on the South Coast provide affordable and all-inclusive food & beverage packages.  The other cheaper venues are more DIY where you simply pay a venue hire fee and supply your own drinks and catering. With a great range of food trucks and mobile bars in the region, organising a wedding that fits your budget is not as difficult as you might think.
