I don't think people mind if you're being supplied a service that is value for money. I don't begrudge anyone who has done well through hard work and by providing a good service to their customers. However in a lot of areas now there is a feeling that some people, especially middle men, charge too much for what they bring to the table.

Wedding photography is a perfect example of a business where some people just take the piss. Price is often based around what they think they can get away with charging rather than the value of the service they provide.

in all honesty I don't think a woman can get more emotional in either the planning for a wedding or in pregnancy.

absolutely nothing must get in the way of the "perfect day".

and thats clearly how some of these photographers can blind fools.


my CEO must earn £200k a year and have 1300 employees working for her: she only drives an audi A5.

I agree. The variation in prices is staggering, when we were looking it ranged from £750 to £5000. Some of the best wedding photos i've seen were taken by friends of the family who did it as a hobby for free.

Which no doubt will costs circa £30-40k, yes someone driving an older super car like a Ferrari 360 / Aston DB9 can be the same money and perceived as a show off frown

which despite being so boring can actually be incredibly expensive.
