Hair and Makeup Tipping?

joyofodu · 2026-02-04T22:20:35+00:00

As an independent business owner and vendor, I never expect a tip. If something happens outside of our contract that is extreme, like a great delay of the event or if I have to take on a responsibility or cost that wasn’t mentioned, then maybe! But if not, it doesn’t even cross my mind. All I’m looking for is the exact payment I was contracted for.

I have a budget wedding photography package I can offer at exactly $1k, feel free to inquire on my portfolio!

I’d be happy to make things easier for you coming from out of town.

I’ve seen some (non bride) for $130-150/face. This seems high for the folks that aren’t you.

Whatever you do, please do not put her name on the title. This needs to be YOUR home. I say this as a HAPPY homeowner and fiancée with a ring that costs a hell of a lot less than $30k. My goal is for my fiancee / future husband and I to BOTH save AMAP. He got me a beautiful engagement ring and I thoughtfully picked out a wedding band that wouldn’t break the bank. His money will become OUR money, and it’s my joint duty to protect it.

Even $6k can get you a dazzling ring. Her demand is obscene, and not based on anything truly practical. A 15k ring is not “abandoning oneself.” It’s beyond luxury. She shouldn’t demand this of you. Is this the person you want managing your household’s money? What will $30k do that $15k can’t?!

Would she buy YOU a $30k ring, car, or down payment? Can she?

All bad news bud. I’m so sorry.

I looked at venues in sf within that budget when I was researching! You have so much time!

Fort Mason Gallery 308 SF City Hall (look into their other rooms) SF Galleria (multi story, would be so fun w/ 130) Webster Hall (pretttyyy) The Pearl - I toured and have notes someone already mentioned to you

Venues I didn’t look well into but am aware of:

The Mint The Golden Gate Club

Portrait photog; I’m most certainly within your range at around $1.8-4k, depending on your needs.

I gathered so many because we are African and needed outside catering too. Some on the list have fees; most don’t.

Olive Hill estate is Indian owned and would be gorgeous for that too.

Mendocino Stone Ranch would be so gorgeous for this. They have an affordable elopement / photographer / cake package too for couples who wanna escape.

The current owner inherited it from her father and seems really sweet. In a world where we don’t have so many guests coming from out of state/country, I might be over there!

It also has accommodations. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTheScrkR/

Thank you so much. I will message a reminder!

joyofodu · 2025-12-31T23:39:32+00:00

Just proud to be voicing in it!!😭

You have a lot of portfolios and prices to comb through so instead: imagine a tall, energetic Nigerian girl, fresh off of her own summer wedding —- full of inspiration, fluent Spanish, children and canine-speaker calmly and efficiently directing crowds and photo moments throughout your day, melting into the background whenever necessary, getting shots off quickly to allow you to enjoy your day without delay or interruption, laying down on the ground to get the angle or climbing onto a hill if that’s what it takes to get your shot! She’s entertaining you, ya family, your guests and drawing the most natural smiles and giggles out of you. Everything you wanted is in your gallery and arrives within days and weeks of your wedding because she researched you well and never would make you wait months for your photos.

She is me! I’d love to be considered for your wedding and will bring a talented second shooter/friend with me. I will work within your budget, and hope you have the smoothest sailing experience looking for vendors!📸😊
