The Survey Result - Wedding Budget

Hi .. its been a while since the last update. Recently, I've posted a poll in my blog to see or rather to know how much people especially in Malaysia are willing to pay their photographer to capture their wedding ceremonies. And, here's are the result.


RM500-RM1000 =>43%
RM1001-RM2000=>18%
RM2001-RM3000=>18%
RM3000 and above..=>6%
Photography is not important..=>12%

What seems bothering me is there's a few people think that photography is not important. Well, bits me. Not sure what are more important than the moments of your glorious day. You tell me... Wearing fancy gown with a fancy throne (pelamin) with fresh flowers and also changing wardrobe in between the ceremony. Costing MORE than RM2,000 just for a day or two and not being able to show your friends or relatives is a bit dissappointment aren't they. At least 43% are still willing to bill on this. So, why can't you? We can call you cheap that's for sure... :)

Having most voters are willing to spent between RM500-RM1000 for their occassion are not supprising. People are tend to keep their budget for more important things such as mention earlier, the dress, the make-up, the throne(pelamin), the food, the goody bags and such. All this can cost more than RM10K if being add-up together. We, the photographers understands your situation. Me, myself are married and know this cost are inevitable. With the price of "What you pay is what you get" to be precise. Don't blame the photographer if the pictures are not as you expected since "What you pay is what you get" being practise for some photographer.

Frankly speaking, we at Ahzadesign Photographer did not tied to the slogan "What you pay is what you get". We give 110% commitment towards out task and we deliver only the best. Nonetheless, we still think that with good money, we can double-up our commitment until 220%. Heheheh.... of course if the bride and grooms have the stamina to maintain.

Also, look from the photographer's perspective. When other people are on leave, holiday, we the photographer are working our butt to please our clients. Isn't there any sympathy for us? Working limitless, squeezing our head for ideas, giving undivided love toward our passion of photography just for a price of what? Peanuts?. Have a heart and reward us for the effort that we put in.

Nah.. no worries... At this point, many of our client are satisfied with the result, eventhough ... you know what I mean. So, lets make an appointment at your own leisure time and we can discuss more. Hopefully there are more clients out there willing to measure up the poll result. Cheers..... :)
