Hi everyone, FI and I are having our engagement photos taken next Tuesday... we are so excited!!! We won a giveaway for free engagement photos so we are not paying anything for the session.
The photographer asked us if we'd like to have lunch first before we start shooting, just so we could all get to know each other a little bit. FI and I think this is a great idea and we agreed.
My questions are:
(1) Are we required to tip our photographer? This may be a dumb question but I've never worked with a professional photographer before and this is the first wedding vendor I've worked with.
(2) Should we pay for the photographer's lunch? I don't know if this is usual or customary in the industry. Since we are getting the session for free I thought it would be a nice gesture, but I don't want to be weird.
Thanks in advance for the help!
