The couple wants someone who understands their vision and can do it in a style they prefer.
Something else the soon-to-be newlyweds may consider while selecting the perfect person is their pricing.
Recently,Tripp Photorevealed hers on TikTok, and people were appalled, to say the least.
This photographer is getting a lot of backlash for releasing her prices, which is $8,500 starting.
Share iconNow with this picture, I can see the intent, right?
Going for that old-timey, rustic.
I dare say you did not capture what you thought you did.
What I did see is shes a very big fan of blurry photos.
I just feel like the jewelry placement- its just not working.
On a wooden hanger.
Now, this woman is stunning, but this picture looks like it was taken in somebodys backyard.
Again, shes stunning.
But the photographer… it just looks like this is in somebodys bathroom.
Theres nothing special to the photo thats like, that wow factor.
I would say posing wedding dresses for a photo is not her strong suit.
Obviously everybody should charge what they think theyre worth.
If you think youre worth $8,500, go ahead and charge for the $8,500.
Actually, I would dispute it with my card company.
Their average price in 2023 was$2,900, a $300 increase from the year before.
Like with any art its not about the price, its about what the client likes and values.
I think its up to the individual client to see value in somebodys work.
All those skills take time to polish to perfection.
Shaw adds that a good photographer will be constantly making decisions throughout the day.
Where is the good light?
Are we on schedule?
What does my couple need right now?
Have I got all the group shots?
Checking the weather and sunset location.
Another factor that might rack up the price of such keepsakes is the location.
If youre planning a destination celebration, something like traveling costs can increase the costs as well.
Is more expensive always better in the wedding photography industry?
Quality isnt cheap and it goes like this with anything in life.
Experience is key in this job, and more experience costs more, right?
Shaw believes that expensive wedding photography services might not be for everyone.
In the wedding photography industry, the correlation between cost and quality is not always straightforward.
