jeremy_clay Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · I LOLed and cried a lil Ultra Spendy Client wrote: "I would prefer to have a day package including the getting ready stage, to the first dance. I think it would be great to capture the story from beginning to end, for the most part. I am a photo junkie you could say!! I am pretty sure everything will take place in -deleted-. The ceremony and reception will both be talking place in -deleted-, and possibly the photos? We hope to spend around a thousand dollars for the photography, and then purchase any larger shots as we need them and create our photo albums. We based our number on budget as well as the average pricing for photo journalists around the GTA. For a full day. Assistant. Images retouched. Released on disc. I missed you FM guys.

Jimsokay Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · I LOLed and cried a lil When I deliver I like to see the bride shed a tear or two over the photos. I'm sure these people will too. Jan 09, 2009 at 06:27 PM

StatHunter Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · I LOLed and cried a lil I have more and more emails for perspective clients who want all of this and an album for under $1K. I am actually a little tired of replying back to them. Thinking about not replying to brides when they email me stuff like this. Actually I am thinking about posting my pricing on my website--not something I have done before -- just to weed out ones like this. Jan 09, 2009 at 06:33 PM

Create a well thought out email, including places to sub in name of client, etc. that explains delicately and smartly why this just doesn't work for you versus other 'professionals', then copy/paste. It's rare, but two separate occasions I've turned "..can't spend more then $1500" into legit double up+ bookings with selling services. If they can't understand why something costs XXX dollars, then I let them know and sometimes it's worth it to them after the see why they need weeks of editing, or the experience, etc etc. But yeah. WTB Sam Hassas for my wedding. $500 plz. Jan 09, 2009 at 06:50 PM

Hoff, you're welcome to shoot it too, but I figured Sam would do it for me just to get nearer to Kathryn :S The ol' photographer steals the bride routine... Jan 09, 2009 at 07:02 PM

tdl2920 Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #15 · I LOLed and cried a lil sadly, this represents about 75% of the unsolicited inbound emails i get. i've stopped replying. but maybe i should take the time to craft a form email that explains the drawback of booking the $500 shoot & burn guy. for me, referral is everything.

Don't have them on this computer, but I know that one is a "we would love to be part of your day but we have already booked that date" signature. Saves time typing and you can still fill in blanks to personalize. Jan 10, 2009 at 05:23 AM

Won't do any good. I have my prices on my website and I still get emails that say "Can you send me pricing information?" Jan 10, 2009 at 12:56 PM
