re: Going price for wedding photographer?

Family portraits aren't really in the same league as wedding photos.

I'm not arguing with that. The wife and I paid a lot of money for our wedding portraits, and we ended up not buying a single one of them from the photographer. I don't know if he had an off day or something, but they were terrible in my opinion. The wedding photos we have in the house were taken by family and friends.

It's all about how well you capture the candid stuff that separates a great event photographer from some scrub with a dslr.

This is the point of my other post. There are plenty of talented people that are able to pursue photography because of the pricepoints of equipment now. You can't dismiss someone just because they are running a business off a facebook page.


EDIT: I will add that the price included our engagement photos and Mrs. Prez's Bridal portraits. Those came our fantastic.
