Sorry, I won't be much help, but I'm not planning on tipping the photographers or videographer! Is this standard? They are charging us a pretty penny as it is, I don't think I'll be giving them any extra cash! lol

I was told that you tip the Maitre'd $2-3 per person you have at the wedding.

I just pictured you in your dress running around literally throwing 20s at people.
