did i under tip?

so i had my eshoot today and i hope i did right by the photographer...the shoot was part of my package but i think they normally go for about 250 dollars...they are supposed to go an hour long and are supposed to be fairly local...when i met with my photographer, they said they would go to the hamptons and to just 'take care of the photographer' the day of...

when he arrived, which was a little early (about 12pm for a 1pm start), we offered him a glass of white wine (which was poured but he didn't drink) and some cheese/crackers (which he barely touched)...we finally got started at about 1245pm and after going to the second location, we finally wrapped up around 245pm...i know he said after the first location he took 300 shots (i was like wowww!!)...i had bought him a bottle of the house white wine at the vineyard which was like a little less than 20 bucks and we gave him a hundred dollars cash...plus we also bought him a drink (non-alcoholic) at the horseshow...

please tell me i didn't under do it...i really wanted to make sure i did right by him because he was really awesome to work with and spent a lot of time with us!

OMG I just did my engagement pictures today also....I'm so happy we had nice weather. I am using a photographer who included my engagement pictures as well although she owns the company and wouldn't accept a tip from us at the end of the shoot. I think your tip was more than generous and I hope your pictures came out beautiful. I can't wait to see mine also!!

I think you were very hospitable and generous with your tip. Def didn't under do it! Not only did he get some cash, you bought him a bottle of wine...that shows some effort!
