We are often asked why photographers y wedding videographers they are so expensive. It is undoubtedly a trick question, since it implies the belief that a certain amount in euros is high or low regardless of the contracted service.
Entonces How much does a wedding report cost?
In this sense, the first thing that we have to take into account is what does that price includeWell, a basic report is not the same as one with all its "extras" and guarantees.
Just like having a professional with proven experience is not the same as having an excited student who has just started.
WEDDING REPORT PRICES
To put a price on a report or to be able to value it properly, we recommend that you ask yourself several questions. The first one is a bit philosophical and perhaps somewhat pretentious:
How much are your wedding memories worth to you?
Despite being a question that many professionals use with a clear objective of emotional marketing, is still a good starting point to reflect on the real value of a report wedding.
There are moments in life that are unrepeatable and that we will probably all want to remember in the future.
In 10, 20 or 30 years... when we look back and want to relive that special day with our partner, we would love to have a beautiful, professional, complete and well-presented souvenir.
If we visualize ourselves at that point in our lives, it is probably easier to understand that it is worth investing in high-quality professionals instead of saving €300, €500 or €700 and having an incomplete or mediocre report.
cheap wedding reports
Unfortunately, there are not a few couples who tell us bad experiences of friends who got married and had cheap photographers or even with family fans for your event.
From delivery times of more than two years to couples who received a report with blurred photos.
We also receive stories of couples receiving images that had little to do with those advertised on the web, photographers who forgot their cameras at home, key moments that were not captured.
Not to mention last-minute hidden expenses that can double the initial advertised cost (for example, having to pay to receive photos without a logo).
PROFESSIONAL WEDDING EXPENSES
When a person offers you a wedding report for €400 or €500, for example, the first thing you should think about is where is the catch? There certainly is! We will explain why.
Many expenses that you must face a true audiovisual professional: being registered as a freelancer (about €300/month), you have to pay taxes (21% VAT), gasoline, you have to invest in high-priced professional equipment (cameras, lenses, tripods, lighting... ),
You also have to have a manager for accounting, paying for the web, the office, advertising campaigns to be able to reach couples...
Then you have to add the work hours, which are not limited to the 8 or 12 hours of a wedding, but include previous meetings, email service, calls, retouching hours, album layout time, video post-production, etc.
It usually takes 1 full week to touch up wedding photos and about 2 weeks to edit a wedding video. This is without counting the training expenses that have allowed us to achieve the style and knowledge we have today (postgraduate courses, masters, workshops, etc.).
No-Cheat Wedding Rates
Therefore, when a person or company offers such a low price, there is probably a "cat locked up": surely they will not be registered (with the consequent risk of labor inspection and not being able to continue taking photos of your wedding).
They won't have really professional cameras or equipment, or spare gear in case their main camera fails.
They will have last-minute hidden expenses, they will send you students or interns instead of "the artist" who names the studio, or directly the quality of their final work will be quite different from what was initially announced.
If you are willing to assume all these risks, nothing happens, we understand that your priorities will be different and simply enlazArte will not be the company you are looking for for your wedding.
So when should I invest?
If the average expense on a wedding is around €20.000 or €30.000 in Spain, investing €1000 or €2000 in the professionals in charge of immortalizing it seems quite reasonable.
Weddings are unrepeatable, expensive and it seems logical that an important part of the budget is destined to remember the event and to be able to share it with all the guests.
If in a single day we are going to spend between €1000 and €3000 on decoration or flowers, between €1000 and €3000 on a wedding dress, €500 on makeup and hairdressing, €15.000 or €20.000 on catering…
Better make sure we have good pictures and a magnificent video to remember it all the rest of our lives!
The price is associated with the quality
Although this post has been focused mainly on the economic part, the most important part of the value of a wedding report does not reside in these "material" aspects, but in the end product quality given to couples.
And it is precisely in this section where enlazArte offers its most outstanding added value, all those intangible aspects such as customer service, good aesthetic taste, attention to detail.
But also the professional and personal advice that we will offer you throughout the process, the formality, punctuality, knowing how to be on the day of your wedding...
and of course the unique audiovisual style of our reports of photography y video.
