Couples comparing several photographers often skip enquiring entirely when pricing is completely unclear — wedding planning already involves dozens of vendor comparisons, and photographers without visible pricing are frequently the first to be filtered out simply to save time, regardless of the quality of their work.
Coverage genuinely varies by hours, second shooters, albums, and travel, and a bare "from" price can undersell packages that are actually priced higher once real requirements are discussed — some photographers worry a low headline number anchors expectations too far down.
Publish 2–3 package tiers with representative starting prices and what's included at each level. This lets couples self-qualify against their actual budget before enquiring, while leaving room to discuss genuinely custom requirements once there's real interest.
