Some do. But the ones that don't it's likely it's just rolled into the package fee anyway.
Just make sure you're getting full digital rights and they're not watermarked.
I second Gerbera's comments. My initial photographer charged extra for a CD of all images with reprint rights. He wanted $600. Otherwise, you'd have to order all prints through him and we wouldn't have been able to put any pictures online!
Our new photog includes this CD in the package price. It just depends on the photographer.
That's pretty normal. Just make sure they are high-resolution and not water-marked.
I used to work at ProEx, and a girl came in with a CD she had paid $500 for, and the pictures were only thumbnails. That was rough.
Definitely normal. I saw very few photographers that didn't charge extra for a cd.
It's totally normal. When a photographer give you a cd with all your photos and the right to print them, he gives you his copyright his 'artist rights'.
It's like a musician who sells his right to an advertiser/a brand can use his music.
it's like a model who sells her 'image rights' to represent a brand.
Completely normal depending on your photographer's preferences and packages. Just make sure they are the full sized/high res. photos and it will be well worth the price for your convenience.
My photographer had the CD included in the price. They are all different though which is why you need to find out the pricing before booking so you know exactly what you get.
It depends on the "package" you are selecting from your photographer. Some packages include it while others don't.
Beatrice, I hate to correct you, but I REALLY feel I have to in this instance. Just because we give a DVD with rights to print or post online, doesn't mean we are giving you the COPYRIGHT. They are two totally different things. The vast majority of photographers will never sign over their actual Copyright, at least not unless you specifically request the Copyright because you don't want the photog to be able to use your photos for his or her portfolio. In that case, we charge an arm and a leg and you will receive papers saying they are specifically signing over "COPYRIGHTS" to you and not just "usage rights" or "print rights."
Why do we not give out the copyright? It's because if we did, you could legitimately take one of our images to Panasonic and sell it to them for $100k to use as a screen saver on their next LCD. Copyrights are just too valuable.
From what I saw looking into different packages, that's pretty much the norm. we were lucky enough to have a semi-professional friend do our photos and she included it for free, but most places I've seen charge.
OUr photog has it in some of their packages. They also have a deal where the price of any images/cds goes down each year since the event passes. So we are going to wait until next year and just buy the cd.
Our photographer had the CD of the wedding day as part of the package...but a bridal session and engagement session is part of that package too and if we want CDs of those then we have to pay $250 extra for each.
Our photographer is charging $250 for all of our images (retouched) so that we can go and reproduce them anywhere we want so we don't have to spend a fortune.
Yeah, you usually have to pay for editing fees of all the photos and also license requirements.
If you have photoshop experience, you could ask them for an unedited version of your pictures on a cd. Might be cheaper.
It depends on the photographer and package. Ours comes with all the rights to the images but that was something that was important to us and that we made sure we found in a photographer.
Most of the photographers we looked at charged anywhere from $500-1000 for the DVD of high res pics. They do not give you a copyright, but you get unlimited printing rights. As other ladies have said, some of them roll this price into a package or offer the DVD at a discount if you buy an album from them.
yupper, that's a roger. it's not cool but they leave them on their web site for some reason for a year and you can get pictures from there.
It depends on the photographer. The disc of images was part of my photog's wedding package, but it cost $250 to get all of the engagement pictures. For just 350 images it seems a little high, though.

I know it's normal for a photographer to charge extra for ordering books and such but how about charging a CD for your pictures? my photographer is charging $200 for 350 images. Is that normal? I dunno~
