How Much Does a Wedding Photographer and Videographer Cost in Melbourne?

It's the question every couple eventually Googles, and the answers online are frustratingly vague. So let's be direct about how much a wedding photographer and videographer cost in Melbourne — and, more importantly, what you're actually paying for.

The Short Answer

In Melbourne, a combined photo and video package for full-day coverage typically ranges from $4,000 to $8,000+. Photo-only sits around $3,000–$6,000, and video-only usually starts near $2,500. Where you land depends on a few key factors.

What Actually Affects the Price

Experience and reputation

An established team with hundreds of weddings, professional backup gear, and a consistent style charges more than someone starting out — and for good reason. You're paying for reliability on a day that can't be reshot.

Hours of coverage

Four hours of ceremony-and-portraits coverage costs far less than a full 10-hour day that runs from getting ready to the dance floor. Decide what moments matter most to you.

Team size

A two-person team captures angles a solo shooter simply can't — the groom's face and the bride walking in, at the same time.

Inclusions

Drone footage, engagement shoots, albums, and film photos all add to the total. The trick is knowing which ones you genuinely want.

Why "Cheap" Can Get Expensive

A bargain photographer with no backup camera, no contract, and no insurance is a risk on the one day you can't redo. We've met couples re-hiring us to recreate moments a budget vendor missed. Value isn't the lowest price — it's the result you'll still love in twenty years.
