Make sure you know where your "professionals" are coming from

Was looking at Craigslist today looking at wedding related stuff and this post caught my eye so I clicked.

Photographer needs Videographer for Wedding


http://newjersey.craigslist.org/evg/3820360783.html


If I hired a studio to do my photo and video and found out the photographer hires inexperienced people who "need to make money"  when I paid for a professional, I would flip out!

    Yikes! I bet this is what you end up with when you book the too good to be true deal of $3000 for a photographer + videographer.

    I think this is probably very common for photography, video, and DJ. And you're right; you should know who these people are.  Ask who they will be.  Ask where they came from.  Ask if they've done work with this company before and if you can see that work.

    I have no problem with studios hiring other professionals, but I cannot imagine why any studio would risk their reputation on an inexperienced student who needs money. And if I am paying for a professional wedding video, I don't expect  a student off of craigslist that has never done this to show up. Wish I knew what studio that was so I don't accidentally book them.

    This is quite scary! When you choose a photographer and videographer, it is important to see the work of that actual person and have a contract that states that you will work with them - and no one else.
