How much does a wedding photographer cost?
The price of a wedding photographer can vary depending on the photographer’s experience, location, packages and additional services. It’s common to pay somewhere between NOK 10.000 and 40.000 for your wedding photography. If you have the budget for it, most people want to take advantage of full-day photography, which tends to be at the other end of the price range.
Some photographers also offer hourly rates or half-day packages at a lower price. It’s important to have an open dialog with the photographer about their prices and what’s included in the package so that there are no surprises afterwards. Remember, the photos from your wedding day are something you’ll treasure for the rest of your lives, so it’s worth investing in a good photographer.

What will you be left with?
After the wedding day, you’ll be left with a lot of memories, and the photographs will help you relive these moments. You should feel that the photographer has captured the essence of the day – the small moments, the big emotions, the laughter and the tears. Through the portraits, you should also get great pictures of yourself, your nearest and dearest.
The photographer should have provided a varied selection of images, from the traditional and staged to the more spontaneous and natural. You should be left with the feeling that the photographer was there observing, but without being intrusive. At the end of the day, these photographs should be cherished and looked back on for years to come. They should reflect your love and happiness and retell the story of your wedding day in a beautiful and genuine way.
How do you choose the right wedding photographer?
When choosing a wedding photographer, there are several things to consider. First and foremost, it’s important to like the photographer’s style and artistic expression. Look through their portfolios and find a photographer who takes pictures you like. Their experience of wedding photography is also crucial – a photographer who has covered a lot of weddings will know how to handle the flow of the day and capture the important moments.
Personal chemistry is also important as you’ll be spending a lot of time together on such a momentous day. Arrange a meeting with the photographer in advance to see if you get along. Also, be open about your expectations and wishes, and see if the photographer can accommodate them. Don’t forget to check what’s included in your packages and contracts. With good research, it’s possible to find the perfect photographer for you and your big day.

Videographer, photographer or both?
A photographer captures the moments of your wedding day in still images, while a videographer immortalizes the day in moving images with sound. A photographer will provide you with beautiful, detailed images to hang on your wall or put in an album. A videographer will give you a movie that captures the mood, emotion and action of the day.
A photographer can capture the perfect smile, while a videographer can capture the movement of your wedding dress as you swing around the dance floor. Many people choose to have both a photographer and a videographer to get comprehensive coverage of the day. Then you have both stills and video to look back on. At the same time, you need to consider your budget and priorities – for some people photography is most important, for others video.
You need to think about what matters most to you as a memory of the day. Maybe a combination of both is the perfect solution?
How do I get a quote for a wedding photographer?
Getting a quote for a wedding photographer usually starts with thorough research. Look through portfolios, read reviews and compare prices. Once you’ve found some suitable candidates, it’s a good idea to contact them and ask for a detailed quote. The offer should be clear and show what is included, prices and other contractual conditions. At the same time, you should also consider the communication and chemistry with the photographer.
