Tipping a photographer

How much am I supposed to tip? Our total is 3500. He's really great, how much money says "thank you" but doesn't overdo it?

    As per The Knot's Tipping Cheat Sheet:

    Wedding Photographer/Videographer
    You're not expected to give your shutterbugs any dough beyond their normal fees. Yet if the wedding photographer or videographer doesn't own the studio, consider tipping each person (or give a certain amount with a thank-you note to disperse to staff).
    Protocol: Unnecessary, unless the photographer is not the studio owner.
    The $tandard: $50 - $200 per vendor
    When to Tip: At the end of the reception.
