Affordable Wedding Photography
I live and am getting married in the Philadelphia Area Saturday, July
25, 2005. We would like to have a digital photographer take 5-6 hours of photos of our big day. We would prefer someone a bit more artistic and a bit less traditional. I want all the digital images (preferably on a CD) so that I can edit/create/print my own album. Are there any recommendations? |

Thanks... but we have already tried that. It seems that many of the
photographer w/ websites in this area do not want to relinquish the proofs (or the digital high res files). Is that normal? |

Is that normal? Yes, that is normal. We charge $300 for the "digital negatives," which seems to be a fairly standard price in our area for them. Most photographers either don't release them, charge extra for them, or include the cost in and increased "package" price, since the release of those implies that the photographer's not going to get any additional print business. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

Look through your local papers and get the names of photojournalists whose
work you like. Don't forget the free papers. Call up those people and see how you do. Also...hand out one-use cameras as people show up and let them take shots for the "grand album" "NatalieLynn" wrote in message oups.com...

Thanks for the helpful tips. I will certainly do the leg work necessary
to find an artist I love and the one-use cameras for the lucky shots. Being a freelance graphic/web designer and my fianc=E9 a musician we work/live from gig to gig... I still am a bit shocked that the photographers I have contacted so far are all so well off that they gawk at making $700 for one days work. I am disheartened to realize that many professional photographers would rather be salespeople than be paid a fair price for their talent. |
