By domino Go To Postmy pops always enjoys hearing about the weekly fuckery at work during our sunday dinners but that shit is on overload since were hitting the slow periodI actually don't mind being busy at work. Means the place is making money.
at one point he stops me like "all of this happened in a week???"
"no it happened by like tuesday afternoon. i still have a few more days of funny shit to get through"
"do you guys actually do any work?"
"dad sometimes i wonder that as well"
Always most dangerous when it's slow :|
busy is fine w/ me. i hate being slammed w/ work. thankfully that only really happens in december
but enough shit to get me through a wall to wall day is good in my book.
slow is..."i bet yall 20 bucks i can chip this soccer ball into a box on the highest warehouse shelf in 5 tries or less"

Can't lie. Stressed as fuck about the wedding.
All the little details and every tiny fucking thing people want to charge exorbitant amounts of money for have just left me checking every fucking detail 10x over, and having to micro manage every detail.
It should all largely be brought together this arvo / tomorrow. So I should largely be free to relax a day or two before. But no lie, i'm stressed as fk right now until it is all there.

90% of wedding photographers are bullshit artist.
I’ve been researching a lot because I’m thinking of doing. The prices these people charge for the actual work they put in is laughable

Dude this guy in Fresno charges $5000 dollars and he isn’t even good. Reilo and I were laughing at his work
Shit was sad. I could do it better than that guy using a $500 point-and-shoot and I don't know what I am doing.
Yeah min buy for a standard 4 - 6 hour package here is 4k. And that's minimum shit. Photography was our second biggest cost after the reception venue.
Shit is ABSURD.
Shit is ABSURD.
By domino Go To PostDamn lemme buy a dslr and finesse these wasp couplesHow are you gonna finesse someone while moonlighting when you're getting finessed at your day job?
Everything "wedding" is priced egregiously because they know people will pay. If people stop paying, prices would fall. You think that $5000 for shitty wedding photography is stupid. Look up how NOT RARE AND VALUABLE a diamond is and how Debeers artificially inflates price by reducing supply. Even the 2 months salary shit started from an ad campaign by Debeers.
Want to bring in your own food? Nah most venues require in house catering.
Have you seen the prices of invitations? FUCKING REALLY?
FLOWERS? WTF?
You're charging me to fucking CUT EACH SLICE OF THE CAKE?
I swear to everything I love and hold dear that if I did my wedding again I would do a taco man at a park near the beach in sandals. Maybe in San Diego so I can have kegs on the beach. I did my wedding cheap as fuck too

By DY_nasty Go To Postdo honest work brehs
I know a girl that charges $7k a wedding. She’s from her own presets in Lightroom. Spends a few days cropping choosing and calls it a day.
By reilo Go To PostHow are you gonna finesse someone while moonlighting when you're getting finessed at your day job?My bank account ain't getting finessed 🤔
I can't even remember what we payed. I was in it at first, but then it became overwhelming. Told my wife just pick what you want and bring me the price and we'll go from there. All I was concerned about was the honeymoon (Hawaii gawds) and the goddamn ring. Didn't go with a planner but we did get pics and a wedding Blu Ray which was dope.
By DY_nasty Go To Postdo honest work brehsI would consider taking pictures, but I've got no talent at all.
Would prolly end like psy working in a restaurant.

The diamond thing is well known.
But Yeah, we paid $5.3k for photography. That includes 2 photographers for the first 6 hours, then one for the next 3 hours. 2 small albums (for the parents) and a few standard sized wall prints. Along with a copy of all digital photos'. And i think 100 touched up photo's.
And that was good. Some were like "we'll release the touched up photo's but not all". Or we'll give you resized ALL but if you want it in large raws that x cost per photo. Photo albums were like first 10 pages / book start was $500, then it was $100 a page there after.
We're doing our own flowers. And getting potted orchids for the table so we can keep them afterwards (plant them). But the bouqets we're doing ourselves too.
Yeah, we had no choice on catering. And god help you if you want to do something different with your menu / alcohol package like put some good beer on there.
Venue is also trying every fucking thing in the book to get us to open a tab of some sort instead of using an alcohol package. And i have no fucking interest in that shit at all.
Cake being served as desert was included. But a plated desert as the third course was an extra $25pp. We got an ice cream cart instead, for a flat $800. But even that, they tried to charge us $1400 for at first, until i went and got quotes and asked them to please explain.
DJ is $980 for the 6 hours. Venue decorations is $1k (not even fancy shit, just fair lights / draping from the roof, which they do regularly) .
Wedding rings were fucking absurd for plain metal bands.
Invitations / paperwork is HOLY FUCKING SHIT money.
Most packages that include the wedding invites, menus, place cards for the receptions, wedding ceremony booklet, and a seating chart START at $1500. And some of those don't include printed names on the invites. Lord help you if you want a ribbon or some shit on the invites. We only paid $500 cause we did a lot of it our selves and ordered from Korea.

My wife and I did the same thing with flowers. Orchid centerpiece. We kept two that I kept alive for about 8 years. We ended up doing our own invites too. Cutting up our own cars stock.
It’s just crazy how they get you from all angles. Everything is inflated like roses on valentines
By giririsss Go To PosthowMy stomach is in pain and its half diarrhea half constipation atm
I haven't had prunes in 2-3 days, might be why

Yeah, my parents want some orchids, may give others away etc. But at least you get some return value and don't just throw them.
Literally every angle. Just have to be on top of / micro manage EVERY thing.

i ate some crap pizza w/ some folks from work after we got off yesterday and about every few hrs it feels like Mike Tyson punched me in the gut.
everybody that went to dinner was basically dead on their feet at work today.
It's always jokes seeing wedding photogs doing wtf-ever, while I'm filming, considering how much they charge. Relaxing at the bar like, "oh yea, I've been done." Don't know that I've ever heard of one being talked down in price either.
I really should be doing that instead, but I don't like the hassle of shooting wedding photos.

But i'm sure they allow for that in the price.
I won't even go into the story but needless to say I was fucking pissed. Three photographers, two camera men and assistance. Got married nearly two years ago and still no pictures ( stolen).
Dad flew in from San Francisco and is preaching today, said I'd go as I try and avoid church at all costs due being his son so today is going to be long (fake friends fake celebrities) . But we're borrowing my friends r1s and will go riding later, I enjoy family so much more as I've gotten older, he's flawed but really cool peeps (we went close to 10/11 years without speaking). Hope this old man doesn't get me killed, haven't ridden properly in a few years

Taken some advice and got myself back in therapy now. It's soul-draining man, as therapeutic as it is - it still makes me feel less of a person somehow.
Anyway that's some dark shit so hope everyone in general round here is doing well.

Just finished my nike 10k
Man these Nike 4% are legit.
Ran the perfect race, smashed my primary goal(sub 48), but fell 8 seconds short of the secondary time(sub47) I was aiming for.(actually smashed it on the Nike app, but the app said the course was 150m longer)Would have got it if I had started the race a little bit further ahead instead of dodging those who didn’t train.
Still someway behind my unofficial PB, but a race PB so pumped.
Felt so good running a controlled race at a constant pace for 7k before putting on the turbo chargers and breezing past those who had overtaken me earlier because they were sprinting from the get go.
Got the Seoul 1/2 next Sunday. Need to rest up a bit.
Makes you a bigger person. Recognising you need some help and Actually getting to it is great.
Hope everythng works out well.
