Frequently asked questions about hiring photographers
How much does a professional photographer cost?
Rates typically range from $50 to $300+ per hour depending on specialty, experience, and location. Wedding and commercial photographers often charge project rates from $1,500 to $5,000+.
What should I ask a photographer before hiring?
Ask about their portfolio in your specific style, equipment, turnaround time for edited photos, what happens if they cancel, and whether they carry liability insurance.
Do I own the photos after the shoot?
Usage rights depend on the contract. Most independent photographers grant you a license to use the images for your stated purpose. Always confirm rights in writing before the shoot.
How far in advance should I book a photographer?
For weddings and large events, book 6 to 12 months ahead. For commercial shoots and portraits, 2 to 4 weeks notice is usually enough, though top photographers book out faster.
Can photographers travel to my location?
Yes. Many photographers on The Booking Agency offer travel packages worldwide. Confirm travel costs and logistics during your inquiry.
