Ever wondered how event photography is priced in Singapore? Event photography seems to be everywhere—weddings, milestone birthday parties, corporate functions—yet its rates are a mystery to many.
Event photography rates are essentially dependent on 2 factors—the duration of service and the features provided by the photographer. That brings to mind questions such as: What features are available? Will I have any use for these features?
We’ve all been there—your budget is tight when planning for your big day, and you want to make the bang for one’s buck. We want to be prudent with our choices and to make sure that we maximize every feature of our purchase.
Event photography rates in Singapore might seem elusive, but having sifted through the various options available, here is a complete guide to selecting the right one for you!
Price Ranges for Basic Event Photography
Across the board, this traditional option is the most common for events. The simple capturing of spokespersons during a business conference, a birthday girl blowing out her candles, or even a photoshoot for your child—if basic event photography is for you, here are its rates:
| 1 hour | 2 hours | 3 hours | 4 hours | |
| Without prints | $200 | $400 | $600 | $800 |
| With prints | $650 | $850 | $1100 | $1350 |
For event photography, the expected waiting time for the edited photos is a few working days, up to a couple of weeks. On the other hand, prints are distributed during the event itself.
While the above table is an estimate on the expected rates of event photographers in Singapore, it varies across different photographers and companies. To get a more accurate quote, you should reach out to the company-in-mind with the tips found in this article, on how to hire the best event photographers.
Nevertheless, a big event sometimes calls for more than just basic photography.
