So I have decided I will be taking my own professional photographer (a cousin). I will be bartering vacation time for pictures. This is actually cheaper than hiring a photographer there. She and husband will be coming as a guests.
When I first started researching local photographers I inquired about the vendor fee. My WC told me the fee was 350 for local or if I used one of my guests, like family, they could offer a discount.
I think that is just ridiculous! What is the difference if I handed a camera to guest and asked them to take photos all night?
So I'm wondering if I should even tell her before hand that my family member is taking my photos?
I refuse to pay a vendor fee for my own guest.
What so y'all think? Or what have others done?
