Tipping

Do you tip your photographer for your e-pics? If so how much? I don't want to not tip if I'm supposed to !!!

Re: Tipping

It depends on your photographer, if he is the owner of the company technically you don't have to tip him. I tried tipping my photographer $20 and he wouldn't even take it

Re: Tipping

I didn't. I had the same question before we went for ours and decided not to. It is totally up to you though. I don't think either way is wrong.
