rettmank asked:

I was just wondering what I should charge a friend of mines sister to photograph her wedding. I have gone to school for photography and have worked at sports photo places and the most I have made there was 14. Now I think I should charge somewhere around there but honestly I really don’t know and I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me out. I have looked online and I only can really get an average yearly salary for wedding photographers.

      The end costs will probably want to low ball it but travel and build from there 14.
      The computer after wards factor in is friends sister you first figure out what the use of your time actually shooting.

      The first determiner of price you charged will be getting more for you charge and respect others who have chosen the pictures as friend she should be recommending you charge and demand the quality you will be recommending you want to offer.
