Just had my attention drawn to this on twitter. I'll let you form your own opinions:

WHY is finding an amazing wedding photographer so difficult? :/

I am a Bride who is getting married this summer and have yet to find a decently priced, exceptional, amazingly talented, fun photographer.

WHY because the word "WEDDING" is involved photographers think they can change you $ 3,000.00 for wedding photos? Oh, because no bride is going to go without so they are going to pay it, because they HAVE to. They are ripping people off for all they have! Why when you want to get married it costs you AT LEAST 15 grand after all is said-and-done? Its such CRAP!! I love all you $ 3,000.00 photographers out there but i think your prices are WACK. All your doing is hanging out at a wedding taking tons of photos and editing them.. and thats owrth 3 GRAND!!! You're making so much money its crazy. I just wish people would be more realistic. I mean the "average" persons salary for 1 freaking month is somewhere around 3 grand. (Thats making 19$ an hour) So you're going to take someones WHOLE MONTH paycheck for one flippen day of photos? Just because you CAN!!?????? So that maybe they will not be able to feed themselves or pay any other bills they have, right? It makes me SICK!

I know im speaking for more than just myself right now. Alot of brides out there think the same thing. & I bet all you fancy photographers wont even read this. oh-well.
Maybe there are cheaper photographers that will read this and LOVE to take my photos

Sigh, most people just don't get it do they.

Trouble is there's a lot of brides think that way. Does anyone ever sit down with them & explain exactly what that $3000 is for? I bet a a lot don't.

Look, my uncle Harry took his camera (which only cost £500) to my cousin Barbara's wedding and he took 800 shots in an hour. And they were on facebook by 7 that evening. You can use your camera at the next wedding you do so what's the big deal...?




is there an 'irony' smiley?

The words 'decently priced, exceptional and amazingly talented photographer' dont actually fit together in any sentence other than one that ends with 'who also has a day job and can afford to do your wedding on the cheap, isnt insured and doesnt have that much experience'
