Wedding: May 2015

So I just joined WeddingBee to help get inspiratation for my wedding next year. Looking on the photography board there seems to be a consistency of why is photography so expensive, I don’t want to pay a photographer this much money.

I’m not a photographer but I know two people that are. One is wedding photographer and the other does interiors. When they talk about their business I’m amazed at not only how much time they put it in, but also the amount of money it cost.

Mostly imporantly you’re making an investment in your memories. 10, 20, 50 years from now when you, your kids or your kids kids look back at the pictures there’s a special moment there.

Wedding: March 2014

Yeah, one of my budgeting priorities was to get as good a photographer as I could afford. I have an awful memory so I know I want pictures that I can cherish forever. The only expense relating to my photographer that I had to decline was the cost of the album. It would have cost almost as much as the whole fee (a couple thousand dollars) just for one album and there is no way we can justify that, so we’ll be printing our own onto canvas and into albums.
