Why is wedding photography so expensive?

What is sold to you is your history, your good memories, not a labor cost. The more important function of these photos is not to see whether they look good when you get them a few months after marriage, but to turn over your history and tell your family's history to future generations a few years later, perhaps when you are married and your children and grandchildren are full. Maybe some photos make you feel a little crossed in an instant, as if you are back to the moment when you put a ring on your lover, the moment when you kiss your wedding, and the moment when you promise to love her for life. This is the value of these photos. Photographers communicate with you repeatedly and get to know you. In order to record you more truly and give you the most beautiful memories, they usually spend time and energy to learn technical skills to improve themselves and spend money on various courses. Perhaps this course has nothing to do with filming, but it is all about improving self-cultivation and providing better services for guests. In order to make these photos handed down from generation to generation, they have to constantly update better photographic equipment to ensure the quality of the pictures. If you spend money to buy a lot of cloud storage space for the safety of photos, you may lose it, and the photographer will store it safely, because this is also the photographer's hard work. Every time you shoot, every couple, every time you press the shutter, every time you stay up all night retouching, you are full of love for this industry and have enough respect for your own history. Of course, I'm not talking about many such photographers. I hope you can become one of them. Do you still think wedding photographers charge high fees?
