Tipping Photographer

Do you tip the D.J and photographer at the end of reception?Do you tip everyone involved with the wedding?

Personally, I would say no. The reason being, they are there because you are already paying them to be there. You are paying them for their services. I don`t think that tipping them is really all that necessary. I say the same thing for the DJ and bartender, etc.

You don`t tip anyone that owns their own business:
DJ
Photographer
Videographer

You do tip people that go out of their way:
Bartender
Limo driver

You don`t tip the photographer. However, assuming that you are pleased with the work she/he did, you do give great references.

No, you don`t need to tip the photographer but you do need to provide dinner for them and the DJ, Make sure you include them in your final count. And also if you are happy with them make sure you tell them!
