How Much Do Wedding Photographers Cost in San Diego?
When planning your wedding, elopement, or civil ceremony, one of the first questions couples ask is: “How much do wedding photographers cost in San Diego?” We’ve done the work for you. We researched several photographers in the area, compared their offerings, and looked at what’s included in their packages. The results might surprise you.
On average, wedding photography in San Diego can range anywhere from $700 for a one-hour session to $2,500+ for elopement coverage, with luxury wedding packages running $3,500–$10,000+ depending on coverage, albums, and extras. But what you get for those prices varies wildly—some photographers only provide digital galleries, while others add albums or light planning support.
That’s exactly why we recently introduced a brand-new set of wedding and elopement packages. For years, we stepped back from weddings to focus on milestone sessions, family portraits, engagements, and proposals. But with more couples reaching out for elopements, civil ceremonies, and intimate celebrations, we decided it was time to return to wedding photography—with packages that deliver more value, more support, and more keepsakes than the average San Diego photographer.
Even better: as part of our introductory launch sale, our prices are extremely competitive. These rates won’t last long.
In San Diego, prices can vary—but investing in a photographer who understands your story makes all the difference. Our Elopements & Weddings Packages are designed to deliver stunning, natural photos at competitive rates, with options that fit your vision and budget.
