Was this done as a favour and the ang pow was $10? Or was the fee he agreed to $10?

Whatever it is, it's too low. I think the brothers get larger ang pows...

AD = Actual Day, meaning probably the morning and dinner.

Maybe the couple mixed up the ang pow is it? Unlikely it is $10. If it really is mixed up, then the one who gets the "fat" ang pow sure win liao.

Like Frijj has asked, and you have yet to reply. Was he shooting as favour for a friend? OR was he the official paid photgrapher that the couple has engaged?

If he was shooting as a favour for the couple, and the couple gave him a Ang Bao that was $10, they might as well save it. Cuz it doesn't mean anything. Because as friends or brothers, I still have to give them Ang Bao for well wishes, and just basic ettiquettes.

If he was shooting as an paid photographer, and agreed on $10. That is just plain stupidity.

You have to be clearer on the situation, or else it's hard for us to comment.
