To print or not to print

[EmmaG]

Hello all,

I photographed a wedding recently in order to build my portfolio I offered a highly discounted price. The couple asked if I could have a photo book and perhaps some "wall art" made (e.g. canvas) for them. I'm a bit torn here because on the one hand I see it as a way for me to make some extra money, but on the other it could make things more complicated.

I was hoping some of you out there could share your experience with me: is it normal for a photographer to coordinate printing as well or would I be better off just handing over the files and letting them get it dome themselves?

Thanks,
Emma

I would expect printing to be done for me! I would hope for 30 or so images in a wedding book.

It depends what you said to them really. Did you price for simply shooting the wedding, or was it for processed files or what?

Most people I find want processed digital media and actual images for their album...

albums and wall art are fundamental parts of being a wedding tog.

If you want to succeed you have to be able to do it, even if you don't always do it

My standard package doesn't have albums or wall art, but if someone offers me money to do them I'm going to do them!

Great thanks! They are going to give me extra for the photo book, so I am going to do it.
