I think she's exaggerated a lot of the costs to help emphasise the point a bit more. I furrowed my brows at the thought of 100 dollars per season for new shoes, if it was a male it'd be 100 dollars for every 5 years for new shoes. But adding the costs of gear, both camera and PC gear was a bit much.

In my opinion, a wedding photographer earns their money for providing good results. And to get good results I understand that they put in a very long day of shooting, and a hell of a lot of editing, along with making up galleries, blogs and albums. That alone is enough for me.
