Also, where do you get off saying that $1500 is for the Frugal Bride?!! The truly frugal bride wouldn't pay a dime over $500 for a photographer, and that is only if nobody she knows takes good pictures. That is f*&%ing ridiculous to proclaim that someone would spend that much on pictures and still would be categorized as "frugal".
I call myself a "level-headed" bride. For the sake of not wanting to pay for this wedding for years to come and not asking my parents take out 3rd mortgages on their homes, I am just having a few of my friends and family take pictures. If I had an extra $1000 laying around, I would hire Carl McKinney - his pictures are amazing and he is way better than a lot of the people that charge twice as much as him. Vendors like you make me wish I had never gone to that worthless bride show. Every vendor there was out to gouge and swindle people en mass to the point where the stupider brides among the pack were convinced that pictures of one single day really should cost $1500 and beyond."
You tell 'em! Our photographer is only charging $575 and we are in expensive NYC, and photography was one of the things we wanted to splurge on.
ReplyDelete$575 is great, especially in NYC!
ReplyDeleteThe photographer responded with the fact that she pays $25,000 in equipment and professional development per year and she thinks her rates are very reasonable. I say yes, photo equipment is expensive but if you buy it annually you must have been the kind of bride that would have paid that much. And development is great, but once you have an established style and know how to work a camera, how much do you need?
