How Much Does a Wedding or Elopement Photographer Cost in Montana?

Bride and Groom Walking into the Mountains - Alyssa Johnson -Wedding/Elopement Photographer

If you're planning a wedding or elopement in Montana , you’ve probably asked yourself: “How much does a wedding photographer actually cost around here?”

The truth is, prices can vary widely. After personally researching over 100+ photographers across Montana, I found that wedding photography packages typically range anywhere from $1,500 for very basic coverage, all the way up to $7,000+ for luxury, full-day experiences. It really comes down to the kind of coverage, style, and experience you're looking for.

Now—I can't tell you exactly what others charge, but I can tell you what I offer, why it’s competitively priced, and how I strive to deliver exceptional value to each and every couple I work with.
