Did you pay photog in full..

before the wedding? Just wondering if I am supposed to give another third or pay the whole thing. I don't really want to pay the whole thing until i see the finished product. i don't see anything about it in the contract.

Our photog breaks down the payments on the contract. I would not give them all the money until you pick up your proofs/albums. After the wedding, our balance will be something like $500 or so.

we are paying in thirds- first on deposit, second 3 months from the wedding & third on the wedding day- I was not crazy about this, I really wanted to pay when I picked up my album

We gave 3 payments already.. the final one will be when we pick up the proofs. Same with videographer.. he wont get the balance until I pick up the video.

Ohh see I never thought of this, he requires full payment a week before and now i am thinking we shouldn't give the full payment till we get our proofs!

That's what I'm thinking. i just emailed him but I wanted to get an idea b/c or video was a third, third and third when we pick up.

we only owe $500 after the wedding - when we pick up our proofs - the rest has been paid off since july

no, we paid a small down payment to book them, and then 1/2 of remaining balance week before the wedding and have not paid remainder yet....our place told us that when we pick out our proofs for the album we owe another 1/2 of the remaining balance and then when we pick up our album and video the rest is due....so we have had kind of installmet payments i guess you could say

That's how my contract was also.

I'm guessing based on the responses each photographer works differently. We paid our deposit when we booked. We have to pay a decent amount one month prior to our wedding. One month after our wedding, we owe $500 but that's when we get our proofs!
