What kind of payment plan does the photographer require?
Since photographers put aside specific dates to photograph a bride’s wedding, it is only fair for them to get payment prior to the actual wedding date. The question then becomes how much of a deposit should be tendered and should the full costs be paid before the wedding date? All photographers require that full payment be made on or before the wedding day. Ask the photographers you see what are their payment requirements. You would be best served by a schedule of 3 payments, the first at the time of signing a contract, the second about one month prior to the actual wedding date and the third payment due on or before the wedding day. This arrangement gives the photographer the commitment he or she needs and gives the bride three easy to make installments.
