How Much Does Wedding Photography Cost in Sydney? (2025 Guide)
Thinking about booking your wedding photographer in Sydney
but not sure how much to budget?
Here’s a helpful guide to get you started.
📸 Why Wedding Photography Pricing Can Vary
Wedding photography in Sydney isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that’s a good thing. Just like every couple is unique,
every photographer has their own style, experience, and way of working. So when it comes to price, you’ll find a range
from budget-friendly packages to more premium, all-inclusive options.
Some of the main factors that influence price include:
Coverage time (e.g., 6 hours vs 12 hours)
Whether a second (or third) photographer is included
The style and experience of the photographer
Inclusions like albums, prints or sneak peeks
Add-ons like videography or engagement shoots
💰 So, What’s the Average Cost in Sydney?
As of 2025, here’s a general guide to what couples might expect to pay for wedding photography in Sydney:
Package LevelApproximate Cost (AUD)
Basic coverage: $1,500 – $2,500
Standard full-day: $2,500 – $4,500
Premium packages: $4,500 – $7,000+
Note: These are ballpark figures based on industry averages. Every photographer will have their own pricing structure.
🎥 What About Photography + Videography Packages?
Some studios — including ours — offer combined photo and video packages, which can often be more cost-effective than booking separately.
These packages usually start around $4,500 and go up depending on the coverage, number of team members, and final deliverables.
Many couples love the convenience of having one creative team working together on the day — it often leads to a more relaxed experience and beautifully cohesive results.
