How Much Does an Engagement Photographer Cost in Melbourne?
Proposal and engagement photography in Melbourne is one of the best-value parts of a proposal, because it captures the one thing you cannot redo. These are indicative figures. The price mostly depends on how long the photographer covers and how many edited images you receive.
Proposal coverage only
discreet coverage of the moment, a set of edited images
Proposal plus couple shoot
the moment plus a relaxed newly-engaged session
Extended or premium package
longer coverage, more images, sometimes a second location
Engagement party coverage
event coverage of the celebration with family and friends
All figures are indicative only and set by independent vendors. We match you with vendors who fit your budget.
What affects the price
Where the cost comes from
Coverage length
A 30 minute proposal shoot costs less than coverage that continues into a full couple session or a party.
Number of edited images
More final, professionally edited images means more of the photographer's time, which lifts the price.
Hidden-shoot complexity
A discreet surprise shoot with a location scout and a hidden position can carry a small premium over a straightforward posed session.
