vision art wedding albums

I don't so can't help but you will be lucky if anyone will post a price on here. They only deal with pros and they only give out their pricing to pros. A lot of album companies are the same. It takes ages to get a good relationship and know exactly how to work with a supplier, we don't like to change too often! Colour space, resolution, the album design software, uploading, billing... are all different.

Hence the companies want to work with pros who will be giving them 20-40 albums a year. Too much to manage a lot of single orders.
 
o its just that ive been looking at wedding togs, and they are £2500 for a full day (2 of them), with a full dvd of images, and 10x10 art album.
they said they can knock the album off n just charge £2000

so my question was...is knocking £500 for not doing the album...good or bad?
would u pay the £2500 to get the album because in actual fact it costs more.....
or do you leave it out because u can pick one up later on down the line with someone else when u can finally afford it (or are they over £500)

anyone with an answer would be really helpful!

Firstly I would say I know nothing about Vision Art but just talking generally...

I sell albums within packages cheaper than if I sold them alone. So if I knocked £500 off my package because you didn't want the album, it would cost you more if you came back to me at a later date as it is no longer part of the package. In MY case, if I knocked off £500, that would be pretty much what I was paying for the album.

Or in the scenario you suggest, you approached me after your wedding because I supplied the particular make of album you want, it is likely to cost you considerably more than if you bought it from the original photographer.

Why?

I have not made ANY money from the deal already so I need to charge to prepare the images for the layouts, spend time ordering the album, possibly assembling the album and factor in my time for any meetings discussions with you during this process.

Ask around here for people, There are some amazing togs that would do your wedding and guess for less than £2.5k inc an album!! THere are a number of alternatives that are just as good.

But the premise of what's sated above is right. He's taking off what it's costing him but if you wanted to do it after the fact, you could end up paying a lot more.

thanks for the answers,
yeah i understand what your saying. Just wondering if it was worth paying the £500 to get it etc.

Jim, yeah i have looked at few but they are too far away or dont work with a 2nd tog.....as i want as much coverage as possible.

they are called lawson photography if you want to have a look....
i think they are really talented!
 
About second togs providing extra coverage - at the end of last year I shot (unusually) with a 2nd there were 3 of his photos went into the wedding set, the rest just his portfolio. Unless you have something going on special then the 2nd often does not provide that much more
 
Hugh, yeah ive had a good look at all the photos, and i really do think the contribute alot.
There are photos of the couple saying their vows from the front, and one stood at the back getting 'down the aisle' shots etc.
Then im hoping to have the 'posed' bride n groom shots done, and the second photographer is getting candid guest photos around the zoo.........yeah im getting married in a zoo LOL
so i think 2 photographers is always best....i want as many photos of the day as possible :)
 
It depends how you shoot tbh.

If your second if pretty much new or just left to their own devices I would not expect them to contribute much at all. If your second is trained and part of a team then heck yes they contribute shed loads!

A good example, last year shooting in big church I was at the front getting the expressions as the bride arrived and the vows and candle lighting stuff....what I could not get from my angle was the ring exchanges and the recessional. So I arranged with my brilliant partner in crime that he would shoot the ring exchanges and recessional from the back of the church....in portrait orientation please...I need that for the album. Four pages in the album duly captured :)

It's all down to good planning and training seconds properly :)
 
o yes, they are a man and wife who shoot equally...one goes with the bride in the morning, the other with the groom, then one is catching the guests in church and the grooms expression, and the other is capturing the bride arriving and walking down the aisle.
Definitely the sort of thing i want :)

they work really well as a team and ive kind of set my heart on them just because they capture every second of the day...and state that u receive at least 400 images,

its just with a price tag of £2500 im finding it hard to part with such a sum of money! LOL
 
The Album is worth the extra.
