Photography Pricing

Our photogrpaher is also staying at our resort, but if he wasn't, we would get charged an outside vendor fee   it's not cheap either!

So the resort didn't mind that she was up and about working and taking photos during the ceremony? (clearly, not just a guest)

 

I guess the resort is getting a lot more money from her stay (for a few nights?) than a flat fee so why would they complain?

I'm sure it's whatever financially suits them better and you are right, they must be making more off of the stay!!

Before settling for photographer or videographer first take the chance to list down possible prices and after which you can settle which is cheaper but at the same time reliable services offered.

No they did not mind. She technically was a guest as she attended the ceremony and had a seat at the reception. She could have been a friend with a DSLR camera taking photos for all they knew. 

They made a lot more money off of her 5 day stay at the resort and the cost of my wedding than the $300 vendor fee.
