The title of this article may have caught your attention. This morning I read an article in Brides magazine. This article stated that the brides should avoid feeding their photographers. I cringed; why do they think this is ok? I’m not saying as a wedding photographer I expect to get a gourmet four course meal, but if I am there for 12 hours, carrying 50lbs of equipment don’t you think a sandwich should be provided? Most caterers prepare “vendor meals.” These are smaller portion or bag lunches which is great! We love this!

In my contract for weddings, I have a meal clause. Most of my brides are surprised that I have to even include this in my contract but have no problem feeding me.

Brides Magazine- You got this all wrong. Please feed all your vendors.

  1. As a former wedding vendor, I also am shocked! Granted, I usually was in and out in only a couple of hours and before the reception even started, so there was never a need to feed me. But, in my opinion, every vendor who is at the reception should be fed. How could you just sit there and eat while your photographer/DJ/whoever goes hungry?!? I made sure all the vendors at my wedding were offered dinner. Just my thoughts.
