When I proof something that I shoot, I do basic color correction/exposure adjustment as needed. When someone orders a print from me, I go in and fine tune the image, remove blemishes, stray hairs, etc. Multiply that times 1500 images or so to be put on a CD to give to a bride.
Don't do it, you say? And charge a lesser rate.
Sorry, I have too much pride in my work not to. And I want my clients to have the best possible images.
So it's more than just the cost of the CD and the 15 minutes to burn it.

I just wish you could speak with the Disney photographer before he actually takes pictures. Sort of like a planning session with them to tell them what you are looking for in pictures, etc. I think that would help out the bride and the photographer.
Why can't you? Disney does not make arrangements for it? Does it cost extra or something? I have no idea why they would not do this as standard practice- I would not even consider shooting a wedding where I had not had a preplanning meeting.
Yeah I see what your saying...I just think that the disney wedding packages don't really do that and I think 1000 is a little crazy in price for a copy of your images...
So I'm assuming photogs will take the time to edit every pic anyway regardless if the client is buying a cd or not so what is it going to hurt if they get a copy of the images..or maybe photogs could do something like give them the raw images/un photoshopped images on a cd and charge for photoshopped ones..IDK that would seem like the photographer isn't missing out on money...I think maybe just charge for the ones that they spend time editing.
Nope as far as I know the first time you speak with them is your wedding day.
I also think its important to speak with the photogs before because it gives the photographer an idea of the couple and their personality. I think that can help the photographer be creative in trying to capture the couple along with the scenery and events.
And I agree strongly with whoever said that Disney ought to let you speak with your photographer ahead of time. It's important that everyone's on the same page as far as photos and that you click (no pun intended) w/ your wedding photographer. Heck, most brides spend as much, if not more, time w/ their photog on the wedding day then they do w/ their husband.

wow its 1am and ive still got jokes
Wow I didn't realize this thread would make it to 5 pages! I just wanted to clear something up quickly. Under the Fair Use Copyright Laws you are perfectly entitled to post the images you paid for. Disney may request that the images be removed, but without a court order the site owner is under no obligation to do so. If you are concerned that Disney may go after you for posting the images, simply site the photographer and Disney will have no legal grounds for seeking removal.

Now, that's interesting... I'm in law school and I actually knew what that meant... Oh wait, I'm sorryyou didn't need law school for that to be clear. Thanks for the post... it's good to know!
I agree that you should be able to talk to them in adavnce and I think they are working on that! Cause when we asked about requesting someone they said nothing is guaranteed but once we're assigned our photog they would let us know who it was so we could talk to them. Granted we've gotten misinformation from this particular person before (don't know if they're new or what) but it sounds like they might be working at least a few kinks out.
