Question Re: Going to have engagement pictures :)

OH MY Gosh! I just emailed Juan to take engagement pictures and he emailed me back and told me just for engagement photos the price will be:

Hola Andrea, July 27 sounds good to me. I am thinking that it would
take about 6 hours or so to do all of those photos. here are my rates.

Packages:
$3,000 USD = 5 hours. (minimum)
$3,600 USD = 6 hours.
$4,800 USD = 8 hours.
$6,000 USD = 10 hours.



***Aren't these prices for weddings? That seems very very expensive for engagement photos.
I'm not sure if I'm going to take him.
I can take my own photos for that price.

yes that does sound pricey...hmm maybe you should talk to Sarah when you get back because he did hers too, but she is also getting her wedding pics done by him, so who knows.

Wait... really?? Engagement pics take SIX hours?! Ya, those are Juan's wedding prices. Definately contact him about it. I'm sure he's use to getting so many inquiries about weddings he didn't look closely enough. If those are his engagement prices it's not worth it! That's a lot!

But seriously... 6 hours for engagement shoot? I thought most were around 1-2ish hours?

It's 6 hours because so many different picture types were requested, including the scuba photos. I think just taking a boat to scuba location would take an hour... right?

Oh I guess that makes sense then! Of course, I never factored in the travel! lol, you hire him for two hours and spend your entire two hours getting to your scuba location!

D'oh!
