Tipping?

I'm taking my engagement photos this weekend. Is it customary to tip the photographer? If so, how much?

Some background: We are probably not going to use the same photographer for the wedding (becuase it is a destination wedding).

Thank you!

    It's personal preference. 10-15% of your package's price or the session fee would be appropriate.

    What if you don't know how much it exactly costs? I got a wedding package where DJ, catering, and photography is included so individuall,y I'm not aware of how much it costs.

    You should see if your wedding photographer does destination wedding because they are more likely to give you deals on prices if you stick with the same photographer throughout the entire wedding process. Ive never heard of tipping your photographer.
