if you would hire the top wedding photographer in Sg, does not mean your own wedding photos will exactly look as good as what the photographer show in his website.Prices can be deceiving. I hate to be blunt here but I will.
Recently a friend of mine engaged a photographer, supposedly well-recommended and he's featured somewhere here and elsewhere. Of cos, sorry, can't reveal the name. His price is about what you will think is reasonable of that sort of calibre.
Before the wedding, he was friendly and all that. All emails were promptly replied. When the deposit had been paid, it was difficult to reach him. Unreplied emails, etc.
The shots turned out generally ok, but from what I see, there were unpardonable technical mistakes that I wouldn't make myself as a non-pro.
And in case you believe in the "WPJA" label, I'd say forget it. I've encountered 2 phtographers who are WPJA members. Their shots look nice on their website, but when it comes to a personal shoot, it ain't fantastic.
I'm not sure about this WPJA thingy, but I suspect you just take your best shots and submit for application? That's the problem if it is. BEST shots. Surely everyone has some Best shots in a wedding but if the overall is nothing fantastic then what's the point?
So if you want to be ethical, price it based on what you feel your couples deserve. And make sure you deliver the job as promised.

each wedding couple is different, no photographers will able to guarantee the couple will look fantastic before the shoot, and also no photographers able to guarantee 100% good shots.
But, nevertheless, the pros can ensure the couple that 99% of the shots are usable.
To me, the photographer didn't screw up anything, just that customer has too high expectation on a lowend wedding day photographerOh, what a coincident. I have just posted something similar to the topic being discussed:

catchlights, do you mind providing a link to the incident you mentioned about the bridal shop screwing up the shots? Mine is definitely not from a bridal studio.
coffee3in1, wow, your photographer charged cheap. Mine is a lot more but I'm ok with the price if he had produced more quality in the shots.
