Photography Portrait Prices
how much would you realistically like to pay for your wedding photography?
I am looking to start up doing wedding photography (I already do portrait work) and have been wondering about my pricing. The question I have is..how much would you ideally like to pay for your wedding photography and what would you like included in that price in terms of CD, album, DVD, etc?
I took my first wedding photographs this summer... Above all: make sure you're skill (and your camera) is up for the task. It would be nice to have someone with you just to make sure you can handle the whole group.
Pay depending on your experience/skill level. Do not go in expecting you can get thousands... and what I would even suggest (if you want to do this as a real job): offer a free job for practice to make sure you can handle it and so future paying customers can see the quality of work that you do.
One bonus that people love is to sign the rights of the images to the couple so they can print as many as they want without having copyright issues. People will love that a whole lot more than a dvd slideshow-it'll save them money in the wrong run.
You first job shouldn't be more than a thousand, and that's if you are great. And make sure you know your equipment and limitations. Have a contract written out for you and the couple, and a list of posings they want before the wedding day so you are not stressed and you can help direct the group. Photographing a person is nothing compared to photographing a wedding party of 20.
