Just read this response to an article in a recent event DV magazine and it kind of disturbs me that the already tainted image of wedding videographers is being worsened. Can't we do something to improve the image of a wedding videographer? We already have every "Uncle Bob" with a camcorder calling themselves professionals and charging brides for amateur work, now we have to deal with professionals squeezing brides for every penny they can? Aarrgghh!
Original article is called "Sell it In Post" from the July issue of Event DV magazine.

"I have been able to charge twice as much for exactly the same thing after
the wedding as I would if contracted to produce it prior to the wedding
day.."

This is a direct quote from the article. What happened to business ethics! The author is a very talented videographer with a high standing in a prominent National wedding and event videographers group and it saddens me that this practice seems to be in line with many other practices condoned by the same organization.
Brides please investigate the practices and contracts of your wedding videographers to avoid being taken advantage of.
"How to Gouge the Bride"? What are we doing to our image??!!
