You think, “It’s going to cost me more than a thousand dollars just to have someone photograph my wedding, and that doesn’t even include any prints, books, or albums!
...Uncle Joe may own a camera and flash, but he is unlikely to capture effectively the many moments and emotions of your day and deliver them at a level of quality that tells a visual story of what made your day special.
...These cost from $600 to $2,500 apiece; and the photographer needs at least one per camera, especially if he will employ a second photographer or assistant during the wedding.
...It may seem that the photographer works only when the camera is at his eye, but this is only part of the time he invests in your event.
...I once read another photographer’s recommendation that portrait photographers should charge 8 times their cost, and certainly no less than 5 times that cost; otherwise, they are doing volunteer work and harming the broader profession.
