Would you pay 2-5 thousand dollars for pictures?

When i was 24 and getting married, i paid my cousin 50$ to take some pictures.

For $4K to have wedding pictures, they'd better be absolute studio quality AND include studio quality video/audio too.

If I was charging that much for wedding pics, you damn right I'd be out there every weekend! It would mean 2-3 people in my "crew", but for that much, close to $2K of that would be pure profit. Making roughly $100K a year for working 1-3 days before and day of the wedding and likely 2-3 more per week editing the pics/video... not too bad.

Would I spend that much for wedding pics? Hell NO! I've been married 2X. Wedding 1.0, we had a friend take pics and they did that as a wedding gift for us. Wedding 2.0, we had my sister-in-law record the wedding in the church itself and at the reception, we put 8-10 disposable cameras on each table and let the guests take the pics they wanted. We had like 80 cameras full of (actually nice) surprises!

I can't take credit for that idea. That belongs to my wife. We knew we'd have a lot of surprise pics, but we really enjoyed what everyone took. Pics of those st the table, us, other guests, dancing... they were great!

there are people who have that kind of money to capture their special moments. and people who buy $200k sports cars for spares, and fun. People buy 3million dollar house, and sell for $1 million... and they don't care. I know some... not well enough.

If you owned apple stock and amazon, you'd be trying to figure out how to spend 10 million... The $ distribution system is broken... people who work have fallen behind and many can't afford to live.

Good for her, she found way to do well... yes, people will pay all kinds of amounts.
You'll spend $20 on dinner... some people... that's a fortune.

There is a difference wether you are asking a friend or family to take some pictures,

or if you are hiring a professional photograph, espacially when said photograph is working 2 full days.

It might be worth it depending on who is taking them. It's all about your budget though too. Budget is key. It also depends on what you are looking for too. If you want magazine perfect photos, you do have to spend a little more cash.

No way, even if i do have this kind of money, i prefer to spend on myself and my wife if i was married!

I used to have even more than 4000$ but i always knew how to spent it and benefit from it...
