The number of photos you get from an engagement shoot can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Photographer’s Experience and Style: Some photographers may focus on a more curated selection of high-quality images, while others might deliver a larger quantity with a mix of edited and unedited options.
- Length of the Shoot: A longer session (1.5-2 hours) will naturally produce more photos than a shorter one (30-60 minutes).
- Number of Locations: If you visit multiple locations during the shoot, it will likely result in more photos capturing the variety of backdrops.
- Editing Workflow: Some photographers heavily edit all the photos, while others might provide a selection of lightly edited or unedited images for you to choose from for further editing.
Here’s a general range of what to expect:
- Low end: 15-20 edited photos (typical for shorter, budget-friendly packages)
- Mid range: 30-50 edited photos (most common range for engagement shoots)
- High end: 100+ edited photos (offered by some photographers for longer sessions or those with a more documentary style)
It’s important to communicate with your photographer beforehand to understand their typical workflow and how many edited photos are included in their photography package. Don’t hesitate to ask if they offer a mix of edited and unedited images if that’s your preference.
