You don't have to tip but some do. Personally, I am paying top dollar for my photog and my e-pic are a part of my package. I plan on tipping on the day of the wedding. I may discuss with FI about the e-pic shoot, but in all honesty, I didn't know that people tipped for the e-pic shoots as well.

I would tip about $50-$75 if your on the island, but since your having two people I would say $50 each.

I have this same feeling. especially since I am traveling to them. they are getting paid, after all. tipping is a nice gesture, but it is for when people go ABOVE and BEYOND the normal work expected- no just for showing up. and doing what they are getting paid to do in the first place.
