What is a reasonable amount to spend on a wedding photographer?

Around $3200-4500 is a good price to ensure you have hired someone who has the expertise to capture your wedding day. This typically covers a wedding from getting ready to a portion of the open dancing at a reception. At this price you will find a mix of photojournalism, fine art and modern wedding photography. If you are planning to have a photographer there for more than 10 hours, plan to spend a little more.
