December 06, 2012 Posted in Photographer Resources

Being that we edit more weddings in a single day than most photographers shoot in one year, we found this infographic on the history of weddings entertaining!

Some of our favorite notables:

  • The average amount spent on wedding photographers is $2735. How close/far is that to your average?
  • Average amount of weddings each day for the US: 7,000
  • One of the most expensive wedding gifts given was a stadium?!?!

There are loads of other fun trivia bits in there. Enjoy!
