Tipping photographer for E-pics?

Is this customary?

If so, how much did you tip?


(FYI we are picking up our photog and driving all together to Brooklyn and back)

we tipped ours only b/c it was a friend of ours and he gave us a great price....

BUT if you are picking up and driving and stuff... i dont know... i would want to give him SOMETHING but i'm on the fence. is it a photog from a big company?

I didn't know until after, but I think it's customary. Needless to say we did not do this and felt awful afterward!

I didnt tip for my epics.. but we drove to him and did it in his studio and it took all of about 5 minutes. Im glad I didnt tip... I will at the wedding.

I would not tip - when you think about how much they charge for pictures its crazzy
if you really like how they come out you can tip more at the wedding
also - my guy owned the business - so i did not tip

I felt strange to tip him. I made the payment online w/ credit card. I'm usually pretty awkward at tipping. After the pics there was no right moment to take out my vallet and give him cash.
However, I really wanted to show our gratitude.
Next day I sent him one of those edible arrangements with fruit and chocolate covered strawberries.
Photog called me later to tell me how much he and his wife like it and how he was touched.

Re: Tipping photographer for E-pics?

I didn't because we plan on tipping for the wedding but I then sent them an edible arrangements type of thing as a thank you.

We had e-picks in central park yesterday and we tipped $50

Re: Tipping photographer for E-pics?

we gave $50 but only because 1) it was his usual day off and made an exception for us and 2) he accomodated our request to take them out east at a winery and drove probably 1.5-2 hours!
