16 January 2008 - 18:32How much to charge for simple wedding photography?

well… asked:

A woman I know would like me to shoot her wedding. I’ve never shot a wedding before, only fashion type editorials– and I’m still in school. How much should I charge and what is the best way to deliver the pictures? (CDs + prints? If so, how many prints?)

    Tell her to hire a professional or dont charge her anything. You have never shot a wedding before and its really differnt than a fashion shoot. you dont have hours to set up check the lighting etc. It all happens in a flash. Just give her the CD

    Hire a pro. If you need to ask how much to charge, then you are not prepared to shoot a wedding.
