Why pay for that? Do I think that people should be charged extraordinary amounts of money for their photography on their wedding day? Not really. But then again, there are some who are just ignorant to what things cost. Craftsman Leatherbound 10"x10" album - 25 pages printed and bound - anyone care to guess how much that costs a photographer (with a professional discount)? Matching parent albums (10 page) 5" x 5" - anyone care to guess at that? Proof book with enough pages to fit, say, 600 images for the bride to select images from for her album? These are just deliverables alone - and the answer for all of the above (I have a package I'm shooting in September with these deliverables) - it's a four-figure number before the decimal point. Do I make the prices for these? No - but I have to factor them into my rate for photography - as well as the two hour each way drive, the six hours of photography, the twelve hours editing, the post-production work (if I outsource) of around 20-25 hours. I charged what I felt would cover my costs and allow me to get paid fairly for our work.
