Most Maryland wedding photographers charge between $2,720 and $4,499 per package, with the full market ranging from $550 to $18,500. However, these figures come only from vendors who publish prices; premium and luxury photographers typically require an inquiry instead, so the true average is likely higher than what the numbers suggest.
