| I have had photography classes, and I have done photography assignments in the past, nothing big. This is going to be about an hour or so of photography for a renewal of vows/wedding ceremony. How much should I charge? |

| This is a good question. It really depends on what you are giving your client. If you are just giving 1 hour of photography and a CD of images you really don't have to spend a lot of time "working" and you don't have any costs to factor in like film and lab work or an album that think about what your time is worth. Are you worth more or less than $100 per hour? If you have costs like film and labs fees and an album you should factor that in. In any case you should factor in travelling to and from the wedding site and the cost of gas. If the ceremony lasts an hour you will probably show up 1 hour early which automatically jumps your time up to 2hours "working" if the client want getting ready photos, you may want to be there even earlier. What if the ceremony runs long, do you charge for another hour of coverage. Whatever you decide is right for you remember to get it all in writing and signed by both you and your client before hand to protect you both from legal matters. Good Luck! |

| Okay, it doesn't sound like you have much experience. Do you really know what you're doing? I see you have good skills, but what about great skills? You have a tripod and camera, but what about lighting equipment such as fill flashes and reflectors?I think you shouldn't charge a thing at first. Let it be a learning experience. Create a great portfolio for yourself, then start charging. |

| If they offered to pay you, then dinner would be appropriate. |

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
