[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 7929, member: 1061"] Very true. This aspect of the business really intrigues me. I am not (nor do I ever plan to be) a wedding photographer. On one hand, I can understand why wedding packages are so expensive. Most people hire a photographer on commemorative occasions: weddings, milestone birthday portraits of the kids, etc. Your wedding is supposed to be a one-shot deal, so you want good photos to remember the moment. But I understand the client's point of view too. Most people these days know someone with a DSLR, so why not just hire cousin Mark's college roommate to do your wedding for $200? Yes, odds are, the newlyweds will be disappointed with the results. We know that. We can tell them that we know that, but again...odds are high that they won't listen. After all, how hard is it to press a shutter button? This must be how a mom and pop store feels when Wal Mart moves into town. [/QUOTE]
