I'm meeting with our
photographer tomorrow for the ongoing album thing. When I asked
his assistant how much I owed, he quoted me the entire balance. I
was thinking that I would owe only for the pictures (reprints)
that I'm actually picking up. Should I be paying for the albums
What you have to pay will depend
on what your contract says. Typically, a photographer charges a
deposit to reserve the date for you. The deposit may or may not be
deducted from the total amount due, depending on the photographer.
You will be expected to pay for the albums before you pick them
up so that the photographer can cash your check and it can clear
at the bank. When couples marry and then move (or move, then
marry), often times bank accounts are closed and the merchants who
provide services are not informed that their check may not clear.
Consequently, many merchants require payment in advance, since,
once a couple has the pictures, it can be difficult to get the
money.
You mention the companies that
put the albums together. Usually, the photographer or his
assistant puts the photos that you have chosen into an album that
has been purchased for that purpose.
