Love this 🎯💯 Greatly Appreciated 🖤
What about in the case of somebody who only wants to book a photographer for a wedding for 1.5 hour? It’s my first wedding but this is all the client wants for photography, maybe to save money? But that just doesn’t seem like a lot of time.
Besides CODB. E.g How I should pay my assistant if some of the months I shoot less and some months I shoot more.
What's your favorite film stock to shoot on?
You do beautiful work, thank you for breaking this down for us. Do you see a big change in using flim vs just a digital camera?
Interesting. I keep hearing different numbers. 12-15% is the highest I’ve ever heard. I usually see 5-7% for photography. You did a video with a full budget breakdown and listed a low % for floral, then I watched a video you did interviewing a florist and she suggested a number that, if I remember right, was about double your number. I keep seeing the same thing with every vendor. They quote a percentage much higher for their profession than I hear from those presenting a full budget breakdown. If I went with what each professional considered “average,” my total budget would reach 175%! 😂
Thank you! I appreciate the advice!
Thank you! I also shoot film. I just want to know what a good price.
3 day celebration? I cant wait till you photograph an indian wedding where there are 4 to 6 day celebrations aha !! This video is so helpful and it really does give a different perspective to photography that people don't normally hear so thank you x
If only Cavin would be my wedding photographer someday 😂😍
Cause your style and outputs are the ones im usually attracted to like using natural outdoor lighting that produces full and colorful photos 😍😍😍
Thank you for another helpful video. If I knew you did world wide and I knew about you 6 months ago I would have booked you and had you come to home country for my wedding. I checked out your page and, although things look different on a screen I could tell how bright your photos you displayed were. I couldn't actually believe my eyes were just drawn into every part of each photo that was my n your website. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see your next video.
