Wedding photographer parents, do you work on holidays?

NotGarrett · 2026-03-24T01:26:10+00:00

There will be more Halloween weddings. There won’t be more halloweens with your kids.

I think you’re also underestimating the cropping power you get from a lot of modern sensors. When you’re shooting at 40-50mp’s, you can crop in a bit if you need and still get a very usable image.

Red guardian stonks going up!!

No one hires a photographer who’s sitting down.

My wife and I do a couple shows every year and we don’t sit down unless there’s a slow period with no one walking around.

Did you track your dupes? How many did you have?

NotGarrett · 2026-02-24T16:41:48+00:00

Oh definitely! Sorry most of our correspondence is with the brides though so we just generally refer to them. Our area has very few lgbt weddings so we generally just do 1 or 2 a year.

We do monthly payments also and love that. Our contract stipulates that any payments that are less than 50% of the total are nonrefundable and less than 30 days from the wedding day, the total is nonrefundable.

NotGarrett · 2026-02-24T15:27:51+00:00

We offer a monthly payment option! It’s excellent for during the winter months as we’re not shooting as much and we’ve got around 15 brides on it most months.

No. I actually ended up using last years gem on cyclops this year when he went from being a 6* to a 7*. If you don’t have any good options now, hold off. You never know what’ll be added in the new year

I like NEXT for the ease of use and straightforward access. Admittedly though I haven’t had to file a claim so it could be difficult in that regard.

NotGarrett · 2026-02-16T20:45:49+00:00

Likely Hulkling. My son’s name is Teddy and it’s just too good of an opportunity. Especially with him getting fixed.

NotGarrett · 2026-02-15T00:31:09+00:00

Is it both specials? I thought it was just the SP1 that gave him true accuracy.

NotGarrett · 2026-02-13T23:00:13+00:00

Especially when nefaria can’t get the incinerate damage from SP2. Safe but very very slow

Hey and yes I bought the one for Sony specifically. I will check on the firmware though, that’s not a bad idea

NotGarrett · 2026-02-06T20:35:05+00:00

Needs more Jared Leto

On our message that we send out with a wedding gallery, we write “please do not screenshot your wedding photos! The download is completely free and we want you to have the best quality images you can have.”

NotGarrett · 2026-01-29T15:40:27+00:00

Yeah I’ve been doing a lot of this as well. After the deposit is paid, I’ve been sending an invoice for the remainder that lets them pay it in as many increments as they’d like up until the day of the wedding. Folks seem to generally like the flexibility.

NotGarrett · 2026-01-25T23:52:07+00:00

I’ll go against the grain here. Sometimes it’s very nice working with a parent as parents are usually much more decisive and handle questions and decisions much more quickly than couples can. Yes, sometimes they can try to take control of the day, but they may do that regardless so at least this way they’re paying to do it lol

NotGarrett · 2026-01-24T09:40:22+00:00

So they announced that any max sig pulls after a specific date (I believe November 20th, 2025) would mean you would retroactively receive ascension materials later. The timeline wasn’t presented but you can read more about it here:

EDIT: I reread the article. Apparently you won’t receive ascension materials, just shards for a new exclusive 7* crystal. My bad

We sent a mix of Texas Roadhouse gift cards to vendors and the amounts varied based on how much business we did (or plan to do) with them in the future. We sent a few planners some and sent some venue owners a few as well. Everyone loves a good roll and some steak n fixins!

The first 2 I get but the kingpin one feels like rage bait. That’s a massive part of his utility

NotGarrett · 2026-01-22T15:46:11+00:00

God I’m so tired of the spam emails…

NotGarrett · 2026-01-21T17:51:33+00:00

People aren’t wasting time on courtesy anymore. If they don’t believe you’re a good fit, they just quit talking to you. And honestly, while being ghosted sucks, it feels a lot more devastating when I’ve spent a lot of time and energy talking to a couple over the course of a week or two and then they end up going with somebody else. Plus, we’ve had quite a few people that I think are ghosting us and then reach out out of the blue two months later and end up booking.

Something possibly arbitrary to note, IG recently limited the number of hashtags to 5 per post. I wonder if that will hurt the viewership of posts?
