If you are having 2 photographers...

If you are having 2 photographers...

The owner told us to tip our two photographers 5% of the total package - is that 5% each or total split between the two of them??

Thanks!

Wow this is a first, i never had any photographer tell me that. I think they should leave it up to you for how much you should give in tips

They didn't tell us how much to tip each

We had the same thing in our contract. We interpreted it to mean 5% combined, but we ignored it and tipped what we thought was appropriate anyway.

Oh, crap. I didn't think about that. I have 2 and an assitant. 5% for me is $180. Tht doesn't seem enough to split for 2.
maybe $150 each & $75 for the assistant?

Wow! I think I'll become a photographer! To get paid for the day from my company and then get a $150 tip!

Ok, thanks everyone. I think we're doing $50/75 for one depending on how good of a job he does and $80/100 for the other since she has offered to stay after the reception to take extra pics of just FH and I. Does this sound reasonable?

Why is tipping costing us an extra $1000???
