I thought it said on the contract that you pay the rest of the balance the day of the wedding. But my mom said I shouldn't be paying the whole amount until I pick up the pictures like weeks after the wedding? What is their policy?

Ok- we had the same feeling when we booked Duet. My fiance and his mom were pretty nervous about not having anything holding them to deliver the actual product. But, we spoke to a bunch of people and we also met with other photographers who had the same policy- it seems that most photographers have that policy. After much discussion, Nicole told us that we could withhold a small amount if it made us feel better but we decided that it was fine with us to pay the entire balance the day of the wedding. Their reputation is at stake if they don't deliver and they have insurance. As I said- most photography studios have this policy so we figured it's the way it is. Plus, I spoke to some brides that used them and they didn't have a problem at all. If my fiance (who is a lawyer) and his mom (who is a tough business-woman) are ok with it- than I am too.
Yea, I was a bit nervous about it also. I was very impressed witht their work and the ladies on the board made me feel much better.
I am not using Duet...but I have to pay the entire balance (except $200) before the wedding...I pay the last $200 when I get my proofs. I think it's a pretty standard practice.
hi- i have heard the same thing from other photographers....can someone please give me Duets contact info. thanks.. also- what are their prices- ballpark figure?

Also, they ask that you tip 10% to the photographers which I thought was standard. My mom got all mad that I have to tip when I'm spending so much money on it already. But that is common right?
i posted the the same thing a few weeks ago- i called duet to see if they would do anything about it and they were not at all crazy about the idea just as i wasn't crazy about paying them the day of. so anyways we decided to do some research with other photographers- it seems to be pretty standard now for full payment on the day of! i would say if you really like them go for it- we did it and it feels better to know thats one less thing to book!
