Tipping the Photographer

Brianna, on October 16, 2020 at 9:11 AM Posted in Planning 0 6
Ahhhh, my engagement photos got postponed 3 times because of the weather and my photographer has been the absolute about it.


Of course I’m stressing hair and makeup and outfits but also money. Is it the norm to tip the photographer after the engagement shoot?!?! We are shooting off site at a local beach.

    None of my friends/family tipped theirs. They either did a card or a small 'thank you' gift. We aren't planning to tip, but since I personally know ours, I'm making her a 'thank you' gift basket, or buying her a new camera strap!

    We didn't tip for the engagement shoot (we actually didn't pay for it my stepmom did, so I'm not sure if she tipped). But for our minimony we tipped $30 and we will also tip for our big wedding in March.

    We didn't give a cash tip for our engagement photos, we instead gave a bottle of wine as a gift at the time we took the photos. We plan to give a cash tip at our wedding that will also include an extra cash tip for the engagement photo sessions.
