[讨论]How much will you pay for your wedding photographer

原因是偶一个朋友接到一个新娘的问价. 对方愿意付$600, 但需要的工作量和成品按这位朋友的收费是在$8000以上. 我想知道各位结婚(或打算结婚)的时候, 是付了多少在摄影师身上的, 占的总体花费比例是多少? 以下的是该新娘的Email内容:

Hi Austin,

Thank you for the email!! I have to admit the prices caught me off guard since I am on such a tight budget. However, I hope we can come up with a package that meets both our needs and our budget so here goes.
This is what I WANT and what I'm willing to pay for.

-3 photographers for wedding day
-Complete photo editing & website viewing of pictures
-8-12 hours of wedding photography coverage
-1, 50 page 12x16 album
-2 Parent 6x8 albums
-2 Grandparent 6x8 albums
- Bridal session at location of our choice (1-2 hours) includes 1-16x20,1-11x14, 2-8x10, 3-5x7
-Engagement session at location of our choice (1-2 hours) includes 1-16x20, 2-11x14, 2-8x10, 3-5x7

I really don't want to spend no more than 500-600 dollars. I know I might be asking for just a bit much but I know what prints REALLY cost and I know how long it takes to REALLY photoshop images so I know you will give me a fare price.

Best Wishes,

we'll plan for a decent x-year anniversary since we by-passed wedding 

budget wise, we have no input; but billing wise, do you offer pay per hour? of course, they'll only get the photos directly out of camera.

for picked and PS'ed photos, probably some other package? don't know, just curious, sorry didn't help much

I think this is way over the line. 
First of all, THREE photogs for $600, are you kidding me? $600 is close to the amount (a bit higher though) to be paid for a second shooter here.
The cost to produce the albums alone, excluding the photos, would be over $500.
I bet even you manage to pull it off, you will get hassled by lots of requests from this bride later, for instance she is not satisfied with the retouching etc.
Good luck.
Sorry for my rant.

that's why now most wedding photographers offer a service contract:

For example: a service contract usually include 2 sections:

section 1: $1000 (or whatever set by photographer) for a wedding day (8-12 hour) photography coverage. (some offer a 2 hour engagement shooting before wedding and a 20in by 30in print for wedding ceremony.

section 2: then photo product charge: usually $25 for each photo picked for photo-editing.

The service contract gave some flexibility for customer, and the final price depends on how satisfied and how many photos picked.

That bridal is just too greedy. She knows she has a tight budget, why requesting for 3 photographers and dreaming about so many albums?

service contract with these two sections makes more sense: both time and quality are managed in this way (hopefully - assuming the photographer is "professional")
