Mom and Dad spent 50 bucks on a wedding. Two photos. Today a wedding photography charges a few thousand. Guess what ends up in the trash first, after a divorce.?
People who have big weddings and spend money left and right sometimes wanted me to do photos. However, they wanted me to do them for nothing or next to it. That was a lot of why I quit doing side photography for others. I stayed with stock video and photos.
The money is there sometimes and other sales do nothing. It beat being chiseled.
I cut a couple of breaks for very good friends who helped me out a time or two and cut me in on some good deals.
