Fast facts about wedding photography prices...

Did you know that in the average wedding album, 9 out of 10 prints are "proof size" (4x6)?  It's true!  In fact, the average newlyweds spend more on proof size prints for their album than they do on any other cost related to their wedding photos, except of course the photographer's session fee.

So, if the photographer's session fee, and proof size prints are the most expensive things in a wedding photography order, it stands to reason those would be the two things to hopefully get a good deal on, right?  We think so!

That's why at Better Deal Photography the two things most couples spend the most on, the session fee, and proof size prints, are also our most competitive.  Our wedding sessions are priced approximately 25% less than our typical competitor, and as much as 50% less than some!  And our proof size prints, in any quantity of 10 or more (easily done in even a small wedding album) our prices are as much as 60% less than our competitors!

In the example below is a comparison of our prices compared to a competitor whose service fee is in the lower range of our typical competitors (25% higher than ours) and whose price on proof size prints is typical of our competitors.  Otherwise, we've assumed all other prices are the same.  As you can see, Better Deal Photography really does have the better deal!
