Harrison studio publishing a $5,500 average for wedding photography and an $8,500 average with video included.
Christopher’s Photography Studio publishes numbers, which is rare in this category. Its own site gives a $5,500 average for wedding photography and an $8,500 average for photography and video together. Read the word average carefully, because those are not fixed package prices and the studio says so. The business runs from a storefront on Mamaroneck Avenue in Harrison, so there is a physical place to sit down and look at albums. Coverage is sold as unlimited, with no six or eight hour block. Delivery is stated too: an album preview goes out roughly four to five weeks after the wedding, and ordered products ship six to eight weeks from the order date. The county work on file includes The Briarcliff Manor and Tappan Hill Mansion, which has a venue page of its own.
Both published figures are averages from the studio’s own site, which means plenty of weddings were booked above them. Ask for the lowest configuration in writing, with the number of photographers and the album included. What unlimited coverage means in contract language belongs there as well. Check whether the four to five week preview and six to eight week product windows appear in the contract, then get the travel cost to your venue in dollars.
The weddings page on christophersstudio.net, including its Tappan Hill Mansion venue page. Checked September 2026. First party means the business’s own site or rate card. Marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
Both published figures are averages rather than package prices. The real number moves with hours, coverage and the product order.
The studio calls both figures averages. That is more candid than a bare starting price, and it is harder to plan against. An average of $5,500 means real weddings were booked above it and below it. Your date, your hours and your product order decide where you land.
Ask what the lowest configuration costs, and what the $5,500 average actually included in photographers, album and hours. Then get that exact configuration quoted in writing.
Most wedding photography is sold in hour blocks, and overtime is billed at a per hour rate that couples discover at ten at night. Unlimited coverage takes that argument off the table. If the reception runs long, it runs long.
Confirm what unlimited means in the contract. Some studios define it as the start of getting ready through the end of the reception, which is effectively unlimited. Some define it as a maximum span with a hard stop. Get the words on the page.
Four to five weeks for an album preview and six to eight weeks for ordered products is a published commitment, and most photographers put nothing like it in public. It gives you something to hold them to.
Check whether those windows appear in the contract or only on the website. The full gallery is a separate deliverable from the album preview and runs on its own schedule, so get its timeline too.
The studio shows work at The Briarcliff Manor and at Tappan Hill Mansion, and Tappan Hill has a dedicated venue page. A photographer who has worked your venue knows where the light falls at five in October and which room the venue will not let you into.
If the studio has not shown your venue, ask whether they have shot it and request a complete gallery from one wedding, start to finish. A set of highlights hides the parts of a day that are hard: the dark reception, the group formals, the rain plan.
