When booking our photographer a few months ago he threw in a "deluxe engagement session," which means he would shoot our engagement photos anywhere in the state. Normally, this is done in his studio with a regular package. We know he did this to secure our business, and we were thrilled.
We've set up the shoot in Liberty State Park, which is where the Statue of Liberty is in Jersey City. This is about an hour from his studio, includes taking the turnpike (tolls) and requires driving through Jersey City (a little scary).
The photographer seemed surprised, but gave no grief. We picked the location because we both love it there. We thought it would be special to have photos with the NYC backdrop since that's where we got engaged.
However, now I feel bad putting him through the trouble. He probably expected us to pick the beach, like most couple here do. I feel like maybe we should do something nice for him. I know it's part of our contract and nothing is required, but I do recognize this has got to be a bit of a PITA for him.
What do you ladies think? Any suggestions?
