speaking of tips....I was wondering??

Are you supposed to tip your photographer/videographer? I'm not planning to especially since I requested the photog/videog to go to FHs house to take pics and they said they had to charge me an extra $100 to pay them.

What is the norm? I'm already paying close to $8K for their services.

I bumped a tip thread that has a TON of info on it. Scroll down to where there's a link. The title of the thread is Please I need a tip thread and it's started by tori.

It's a thread on all the best threads... if that makes sense.. check it out.. youll see what i mean!

I don't think we should 'have too' but we are anyway

I don't think that's necessarily right or true. While my photographer may own the company, it's a small business and he's personally going to be busting his butt for 12+ hours the day of my wedding.

i tipped photographer/videographer. And yeah i tip even if its the owner. Well for example look a photojournalistic photographers, yes they are technically the owners but not like they have other employee's the make money off of, i guess might be different if the owner of a big photography company does your wedding and has many employee's but theres also alot of independent photographers.

You're right. I guess in the grand scheme of it all what's a few hundred dollars extra when we're already spending so much on everything else. I don't want to offend anyone and make them think they weren't doing a good job.

its completely up to you and what you feel comfortable with. On the boards i always see mixed answers, but everyone did what they felt right doing so you do the same. I would just ask your FH how he feels about the situation. I had an independent photojournalistic photographer and didnt go through a photography company so i had a different situation.

I was thinking of def tipping photog bc she will still have my pics, and I want her to take good care of them LOL
And that's true Denise, I never thought of that. Mine is the owner, but she has no other employees.
