Jamie Wolfer explains why luxury vendors charge premium prices. A high-end wedding photographer at $10,000 offers white-glove service, while a beginner at $2,000 gives longer shoots and personal touches. They're different experiences, not different scams.
You can't be mad if you're going to a luxury company and expecting budget prices. That doesn't mean that that vendor is out scamming people. It means they provide an ultra elite white glove service that clients want to pay $10,000 for, as opposed to a photographer who's just getting started, has done a couple of events on their own, has owned their camera for years, but needs to build up their wedding portfolio. So they're willing to go to your wedding, shoot for 10 hours for $2,000, and bring along their spouse or their fiancé as their second shooter. And just give it their absolute all. Those are 2 completely different experiences.
