A 10 min ride home is not the same as a 3 hour wedding and 12 hours processing images and video.
That's not what she was talking about though.
It kind of is, but she's making her argument poorly.
If you want a professional photography shoot, there is a minimal expectation on equipment above whatever your phone can do. That equipment costs significant money to own.
There is also the money to pay for someone's time for the shoot, which she argues for poorly. Even though photography is a hobby, selling services is a commitment of time to reach a certain minimum standard. That time is worth something.
Ok, but i want a wedding photo, not a Van Gogh.
Then get your friends/family to take pics with their phones, and don’t hire a wedding photographer. No one is forcing you to. Just don’t then go on to complain if the specific moments you want are missed/blurry/composition sucks.
Like, maybe this is a controversial opinion, but of all the people trying to rip you off in the world, photographers are pretty low on the list.
Just have your wedding event near a flock camera and invite the local police chief. Ask if he can download the pics for you after a few drinks.
Nah, phones make too noisy images. While the people with the gear often edit too much.
I wish I could get a Van Gogh for only a few thousand.
I will sell you an nft of one for $2000
If she's even real (could be a troll account), we have no idea what she's talking about. Quick half hour or shorter shoot for your family after getting a new baby? A wedding lasting hell, maybe 5-6 hours or more? 300 bucks is way too much for the first option (assuming she has a studio and can just shoot 1.5 families an hour and then do the editing later) and probably about a fifth of what the second option should cost.
By your logic you're not paying for a 10 minute ride home. You're paying for a 15 minute drive to your point of origin, a 10 minute ride home, a 15 minute ride elsewhere, in time, fuel, maintenance, insurance, car payment, interest on that payment and taxes.
Of course. The second 'wedding' leaves the customer's lips, the price jumps 5x. Because fuck you pay me.
Not to mention the skill of moving around a wedding in an unobtrusive manner so as to both capture great shots and not distract from the ceremony too much. A good wedding photographer is worth more than $100-300. But, people getting married should get what they can afford. Even if that’s a ride to the courthouse and your friend with the newest smartphone that has the better camera. Great photos are nice to have. Any photo from your wedding is going to bring back the memory.
