catchlights said:How long is your lunch brake? did your company pay you salary during your lunch brake? any brake must be more than 3 hours, 4 hours or 5 hours is up to you to set.
the main idea of this thing is to tell couple that you are expensive, you value your time, encourage couples plan their activity wisely. if a couple can tell photographer this, for sure this is the cheapo clients, the wouldn't buy this kind of idea. they would prefer to pay a package and ask photographer to start from 6am till 11.30pm, take whatever things, even their pet fish, dog and cat etc...
Even in commercial photography, client pay you by day rate, you go for a 2 hours lunch brake, client also don't bother, as long you deliver what he wants.
yeap that's right. you need a contact to deliever a clause that a break is of more than 2-3 hours. This will weed out the al cheapo and 'eat you type' of clients you rather not shoot for and you will be more passionate about shooting those who respect your craft and deliever.
if the couple treats you nice i'm sure that you will put your heart into your craft. If the client is eyeing your every movement i'm sure it will affect your mood and ability to shoot better.
