Oh, sure, Michael. Get a load of this, from the website of Terry LeRoy Gruber, in NYC: "Terry's day-rate begins at $20,000 for the first 12 hours. This includes Terry, a 2nd Gruber Photographer, two assistants, 80 rolls of film, processing, proofs and the negatives. [AND ALL PRINTS AND ALBUMS ARE ADDITIONAL !!!!!!!! - bdc] After 12 hours his crew¹s hourly rate is $1,500." And he's not the only one fighting off clearly brain damaged couples willing to pay this kind of money for an album of photos they will look at a few dozen times in the first year, and then put in the attic...;-) B.
