How much do you tip a wedding photographer? |
How much do you tip a wedding photographer? I am a photographer and I wish people tipped me. But really when you are paying thousands of dollars for 20 pictures you really don't tip the photographer. Don't tip the photographer. Tip servers. Tip the clergy-person. Tip the driver. Can't think of who else you should tip, but certainly not the photographer. You don't but they are welcomed to chow down on the wedding food. i wouldnt tip him unless he was gonna chuck in something extra with the pics maybe a video or editing for nothing!! if he is overly nice then so will be in return!! othewise why go out of ur way to tip someone who normally wouldnt get a tip!!! If you hire a bon a fide professional - nothing. Well here is what I have been told. If the photographer works for a company with other photographers employed then you should tip no more than 150.00 because they do not get all the money. If the person is self employed it is your choice to tip because it is their buisness and the money is going into their pocket. But when you tip anyone never tip more than 150.00 No sweetie, this is about the only thing you don't tip. Pictures are expensive enough; trust me! I just spent out $458 on senior pictures on my daughter and now I got a info package on cap n' gown picture's and there are $405! (I'm thinking Nursing may of been the wrong profession to go in..lol $$$ wise!) This hurts the pocketbook. I have spent this already on 2 of my children to graduate. She is child #3. I have 2 more 2 go..Man! Which brings me to my second side job. I also play the piano for churches, for wedding, etc. It is customary to tip the pianist approx. $50-$75 or what ever your budget allows. Just so you know. Some do however have a set price. I do not, I just let the couple give (tip) whatever comfortable for them. Well, I hope this helps some. I am just speaking on behalf on pianists..(me). Since this wasn't mentioned. Wish you all the best sweetie. |
