Theres one wedding photographer here that puts into his contract that a table for him and his assistants is provided. He even states that he gets to eat exactly then same stuff that the guests eat. He insists that you address him as Mr Carver and he gets about 10 grand per wedding minimum just for the photography. He is one of the busiest guys around.
