Questions worth asking before you book
The answers most couples and organisers are looking for when they start planning.
How much does a wedding photographer cost in Australia?
The cost of a wedding photographer depends on how many hours you need, whether there is a second shooter, how much editing is involved and inclusions like albums or prints. Rather than quote a figure that may not fit your day, Reel The Moment helps you request and compare quotes from photographers who cover your area so you see real pricing.
How much does wedding videography cost?
Wedding videography pricing depends on coverage hours, the length and style of the edit, and extras such as a second shooter, drone footage or a same-day edit. Comparing a few quotes from videographers who cover your area is the best way to gauge value for your event.
How many hours of coverage do I need?
Most full weddings are covered across six to ten hours, from getting ready to the reception. Shorter events and corporate functions may only need two to four hours. Tell us your run sheet and we will help match coverage to it.
Do I need both a photographer and a videographer?
It comes down to how you want to remember the day. Photos give you timeless stills to print and hang, while video captures movement, sound and speeches. Many couples book both, and coordinated photo and video packages can make that simpler and more cost effective.
How far in advance should I book?
For weddings and peak-season events, popular photographers and videographers are often booked six to twelve months ahead. For smaller events a few weeks can be enough. The earlier you enquire, the more choice you have.
