Booked Bellarino!! WOOHOO!

Hi! I'm so excited we booked Bellarino last night! Phil is so nice and helpful!! I can't wait to see my video! lol, too bad I have a year to go!

Just a quick question though, I heard that when a person owns his own company and actually does the filming for you, that you're not supposed to tip them because whatever you pay goes to them anyway... We have already said we will be tipping, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that... How much? When? Etc??

Thanks Again!

Congrats on booking your photographer!!!

As for tipping an owner, it's at your discretion. We ended up tipping our photographer who also owns the studio. DH said he was reluctant to take it but we wanted him to have it for helping to make the day go smoothly and his infinite patience.
