High Resolution Aerial Property Photographs
Many wedding photographers will be happy to negotiate prices with you. Don’t be afraid to ask. However, photographers are businesspeople, and they set their rates for a reason. You shouldn’t expect your photographer to lower his price simply because you ask him to; if you want to pay less money, you’ll have to give something up. Here are some bargaining points that might help you get a lower price.
Go all digital.
Many wedding photographers are already leaning toward working mostly with digital cameras, but for those who still work with film, the price is higher simply because film and processing are expensive. Digital technology has come a long way. See if your photographer will shoot your wedding digital only for a lower fee.
Skip the proof albums.
Putting together a wedding album is time consuming. Your photographer might not mind shaving off a bit of the fee if he doesn’t have to spend time making albums for you. Try asking if he will give you your prints in a box, or even simply images (edited and retouched) on a DVD. With high resolution images on DVD, you can upload the images to an online gallery, put together a wedding album yourself, or print only your absolute favorites. You can also wait to make prints later, when your bank account has bounced back from the wedding.
