Cheapest is not the same as best value for wedding photos. A slightly higher quote with a complete scope and no open-ended extras is often safer than the lowest figure with caveats.

What moves the price of wedding photos

The scope you agree drives most of the cost of wedding photos. Every extra task, upgraded material or access complication adds labour and risk, and the provider prices that risk into the quote.

Getting quotes for wedding photos

A good wedding photos quote lists what is included, what is excluded and how long the price is held. If it does none of those, ask for a revised version.
