Photographer/videographer Gifts

Tiffany, on March 9, 2020 at 3:39 PM Posted in Planning 0 12
Hello!!


Where are my April brides at?!? 40 DAYS till my wedding, woohoo!!
My fiancé & I have decided to give our photographer & videographer a gift with a handwritten letter instead of $$$ tip!
What are some ideas to give them?I have a few ideas of things in mind that they’ve shared on Instagram saying they love!
Thanks!!!

    They would 100% prefer a cash tip over a gift. Not only that, but they deserve it.

    It’s actually quite common to give gifts, nice ones, instead for the videographer/photographer!


    I didn’t ask for your opinion, just ideas from people who chose to do this as well! :-)

    You could maybe give them an experience type thing! My brother’s girlfriend gave my parents a spa day certificate to be redeemed at any time. Or you could get them some sort of camera related thing haha

    A gift card would be the next best option after a cash tip but if not I like the idea of some kind of gift basket

    Maybe a gift card to a restaurant or the movies? It's hard when you don't know them or aren't working them to learn their personalities and interests.

    A nice bottle of wine/liquor you know (just in case they may be sober) they enjoy! A lot of the times, they'll need it after a long day/night

    That is not okay. Tip your vendors. They work hard and deserve it!

    You are literally on a message board lol.

    Most photographers are small business owners. They are hustling for every dime them make. I am sure they will appreciate your gift certificate and note wayyyyyyy more than money to help them continue to grow their business, pay their bills, and take care of their family.

    Cash and great reviews are the best gift you can give!
