Deposits for Photographers?

I think I may have done something stupid :( After getting engaged, my FI and I opened up a joint wedding fund. We opened up a CD for the higher interest rate and we have been very good about putting almost all of our extra money away each month. Well, what I didn`t consider was that I would need money for deposits before the 12 MONTH CD matures. Duh. So I am off to LI this week to meet with photographers and hopefully book one. How much should I expect to put down for a deposit if I choose one??

So nervous about your responses because I can`t get at the wedding fund!

I believe we put down $500. I'm not too sure though! Perhaps you can see if you can put some $ down now and pay more in a few months!

Since your wedding is not for another 15 months, I think most photographers will be willing to compromise on this.

You can put a smaller deposit down now with the agreement of a large amount later.

My photographer depost was $1500 but that was ok with me. Im sure my photographer would have worked with me on this subject if it were a problem.

We put down $500 also... *NM*

We put down $1250 *NM*

We put down $500 - and that was for the photographer & video. If we would have gone with a separate video guy, we would only have put down $300.

I put down $600 dollars when I booked the photographer and videographer.

A 1/4 for deposit... another 1/4 two weeks prior to wedding...1/4 when we pick up the proofs and the last quarter when we get the album. Everyone is different though and of course it depends on how much your photographer is to begin with. Good Luck!
