Everything couples ask before booking an Atlanta wedding photographer and videographer.
Short answers first, detail after. If your question isn't here, ask us directly.
How much does wedding photography and videography cost in Atlanta with MRP Weddings?
Photography starts at $2,500 for six hours, and photography plus a cinematic wedding film starts at $4,200 for eight hours. Our top package, with two photographers and film, is $5,500. Every package includes an engagement session, a private online gallery, and a full print release. See the full breakdown on the packages page.
Do you offer both photography and videography for the same wedding?
Yes. Photo and film together is what we are known for and what most couples book. One studio, one timeline, one point of contact, and a photographer and cinematographer who already work as a team on the day.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Atlanta, Georgia and regularly photograph and film weddings in Atlanta, Decatur, Stone Mountain, Snellville, Lawrenceville, Marietta, Lithonia, Duluth, Sandy Springs, and College Park, plus the wider metro area and North Georgia. Travel within 50 miles of Atlanta is included; destinations beyond that are quoted individually.
What is your photography and film style?
Warm, cinematic, and honest. We shoot the way the day actually felt: film-like color, documentary coverage over stiff posing, and a short, relaxed portrait session so you still get the gallery-worthy images. Films are color graded, use licensed music, and are built around real audio from your vows and toasts.
How far in advance should we book?
Most couples book 8 to 14 months ahead, and popular Saturdays from April through June and September through November go first. If your date is sooner, ask anyway; we take last-minute weddings when the calendar allows.
How many photos will we receive?
At least 350 professionally edited high-resolution images with The Ceremony and The Feature, and 600 or more with The Feature Film. Every image is color corrected and delivered in both full-resolution and social-media sizes.
When will we get our photos and film?
A sneak peek gallery arrives within 48 hours (24 hours on The Feature Film). The full photo gallery is delivered in 4 to 6 weeks. Films are delivered in 8 to 10 weeks. Rush delivery in 2 weeks is available as an add-on.
What does the wedding film include?
The Feature includes a 4 to 6 minute cinematic highlight film, a full multi-camera ceremony edit, a full toasts and speeches edit, and a 60-second vertical teaser for social media. The Feature Film extends the highlight film to 8 to 10 minutes and adds drone coverage where the venue allows. Films are delivered in 4K, both downloadable and streaming.
Do we get the raw footage and unedited photos?
Raw footage can be delivered on a drive for $250. We do not deliver unedited photos; every image you receive has been reviewed and finished, which is the standard you are hiring us for.
Is an engagement session included?
Yes, a complimentary engagement session of up to one hour is included in every package. An upgraded two-hour session with two locations and an outfit change is available for $350.
Can we print our photos anywhere?
Yes. Every package includes a full print release, so you can print anything, anywhere, at any size. Professional prints, albums, and framed artwork are also available through your gallery.
How do we reserve our date, and do you offer payment plans?
A $750 non-refundable retainer and a signed contract reserve your date. The balance is due 14 days before the wedding, and payment plans split over the months leading up to your date are available. Dates are first come, first served; we do not hold dates verbally.
Do you bring a second photographer?
The Feature Film includes a second photographer for the full eight hours. A second photographer can be added to The Ceremony or The Feature for $800, which is worth it when both partners are getting ready in different places or the guest count is above 150.
