How much should I charge

[ExcitezR]

So I will be doing wedding photography for my mates brother and it will be my first time shooting a wedding and don't know how much to charge. I have been doing photography for about 2 years now and have all the gear I will be there for about 9 hours or so

Google the local places around you then charge under or the same as them?

Are you a professional photographer?

[ELSknutson]

I would do It for 10% less then what the locals do it for 

also depending on how long your there for taking pictures can get pricey at a wedding 

I know my photos cost me over $500.00

If you aren't established as a professional... I wouldn't charge more than 60% what the people who do this all the time do it for. You have to work up a proper portfolio, and no matter how much you do it, no one is quite as good as they think they are.

Maybe it's the moment to try to see if it can be your work.

 

Take it as a challenge and a professional work even if you didn't do it yet.

 

For the charge it's simple evaluate the cost, the selling prices of locals and place yours.

 

Good Work

A win-win situation.
