Photog payment schedule

[sweet raisins]

I will pay 50% the day of the wedding and the remaining 50% after receiving the video.

Nic is correct -- nobody wants to deal with $ the day of - we take 20% deposits (plus 100% travel costs) and the rest is due 1 week prior. - 50% I think is a little big - but for the simple reason of this......... not that you will.... but occasionally, brides reschedule their wedding, or call it off... and normally that first payment is not refundable.

i paid 50% down and will pay the remaining 50% within 30 days before the wedding. for video, my deposit was 20% with the rest due the week of the wedding.

Yep, mine was 50% up front and the other 50% no later than 2-weeks before the DW. I am about to send off the final payment.

thats exactly the same as what our photog wanted.

How are you paying the photographer? Wire transfer? Paypal?
My photog wants me to deposit the money into his account. To be perfectly honest, I'm still trying to find the best way to do that.

Someone else put it right in their account. I can't remember who, but maybe they will chime in. If they are reputable it's probably not a problem. Paypal takes a chunk of the money, which is why he probably wants it right in his account.

This is very regular for alot of vendors, if you have a problem with the whole 1/2, he/she should be able to work with you, otherwise if youre comfortable with them and feel their totally reliable/legit, book away! BEST WISHES!!!
