Eleven Houston studios publish what their wedding coverage costs. Read on 7 November 2026, the listings a 2027 booking is quoted from run from $700 for a ninety-minute elopement to $9,500 for ten hours and three photographers. Between those two ends sits the same ladder you will find in any Texas city: hours, then people, then what arrives afterwards.
I read each studio's pricing page on 7 November 2026 and wrote down what it says. No figure below is an average or a midpoint.
Floors differ by studio as much as by package. One Houston studio publishes $1,000 as its collection floor and about $2,000 as what most of its couples spend. Another starts at $9,500.
A quote with no hours, no photographer count and no delivery date is a number you cannot compare.
Published prices from eleven Houston studios, read on 7 November 2026.
| Package | Hours | Photographers | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elopement or micro wedding | 1–2 | 1 | $500–$900 |
| Four to five hours | 4–5 | 1–2 | $1,600–$3,299 |
| Six hours | 6 | 1–2 | $1,850–$2,400 |
| Eight hours | 8 | 1–2 | $2,575–$5,900 |
| Ten hours or all day | 10 | 2–3 | $3,450–$9,500 |
| Photography and film | 2–10 | 1–2 plus crew | $1,300–$7,200 |
Two columns decide most of the number: hours, then whether a second photographer is inside the package or sold separately. The film line adds a second person and a longer edit, which is why a photo-and-film quote at the same hours costs more than the stills alone.
Every range is the low and the high of published prices, not a midpoint. Where a studio prints what the package includes, the entry repeats it in the studio's own terms.
01
$500–$900
one hour to two hours, one photographer
One listing starts at $500 for an hour and reaches $3,000 for a full day · a second sells ninety minutes at $700, with a two-hour version at $900
Best for two people marrying at a courthouse or a small ceremony with lunch after. Ninety minutes covers the room, the signatures and twenty minutes outside.
02
$1,600–$3,299
one or two photographers
A four-hour package with two photographers is $1,600 · a five-hour package with one is $1,799 · another four-hour listing is $3,299
Best for a ceremony, portraits and the first hour of the reception. Ask whether the fifth hour is charged at the package rate or the hourly one, because the two rarely match.
03
$1,850–$2,400
one or two photographers
A six-hour package is $1,850 plus tax · another six hours with two photographers is $2,400 · one studio adds hours at $350 each
Best for a one-location wedding where the ceremony and the party share a room, so nobody spends the day driving between them.
04
$2,575–$5,900
one or two photographers
Eight hours with one photographer is $2,575 · eight hours with two is $3,200 · a third listing runs eight hours at $4,499 · a two-photographer full day of eight hours is $5,900
Best for the standard Saturday: getting ready, the ceremony, and a reception that runs past dark. Ask whether the second photographer is in that price, because in one of these listings it is not.
05
$3,450–$9,500
two to three photographers
Ten hours with a second photographer is $3,450 · ten hours with two is $4,000 · up to ten hours at a third listing is $5,899 · the highest published floor is $9,500 with three shooters and 2,000+ images
Best for two venues and a long guest list, where the drive between the getting-ready room and the ceremony eats an hour of the day.
06
$1,300–$7,200
one or two shooters plus a videographer
One studio pairs a photographer and a videographer from $1,300 for ninety minutes to $7,200 for ten hours · another pairs six hours of each at $3,950 · an all-inclusive video and photo collection starts at $3,900 · video-only packages start at $2,099
Best for a couple who want one studio answerable for both. The crew's needs change the timeline, so the schedule gets written earlier than it would for stills alone.
One quote tells you what one studio charges. Eleven tell you where that quote sits.
If you are weighing a Houston quote against one from another city, the studio's own packages are on the investment page, and recent work shows what the hours buy. Before you sign, read the ten mistakes to check, and for the two markets this one sits between, what Austin charges and what DFW charges.
