These estimates are based on real 2026 market data. Final costs vary based on specific vendors and scope.

How This Calculator Works

This calculator is built from real 2026 market data across the destinations I shoot most often. Each location has its own pricing multiplier based on average venue costs, catering rates, and permit fees in that specific market.

Photography prices reflect my actual package rates — elopement packages start at $4,995 for 4 hours and scale up based on coverage hours and complexity. Venue, catering, and permit costs are averages from real bookings at each destination.

The low end of each estimate represents couples who choose budget-friendly vendors, simpler ceremonies, and fewer add-ons. The high end represents couples who go all-in on quality and experience. Most couples land somewhere in the middle.
