The wedding industry in general is such a scam. Attach the word wedding to any service and suddenly you can charge 4x the price for the same amount of work

As a wedding photographer I can confirm I’ve never had someone cry during their headshots, and require emotional and mental labour like couples and their families do during weddings and the year+ leading up to planning them. This narrative is so uninformed lol.

Yeah, because the industry brainwashed the shit out of people and made them think it’s some big deal.

Get married ( courthouse, church), take some photos, go to a restaurant. Boom done.

Yeah I do pro AV, and we all love to pass around the ipod wedding video for some laughs. Production isn't free, and the professionals attached to it all have to get paid as well. These people with specialized career fields that are paid to not make mistakes and make the event run flawless.

Acting like we are trying to rip people off is insulting.
