I’d do a wedding for about £650, £800 for full day morning to night-do. With that money i’d rent (and eventually buy) some equipment (lenses, bodies, flash gun) pay for transport, prints, albums, dvd if required. Also you’re paying for the time i’ve spent learning, the money I’ve spent on courses, software and not to mention the hours i’d spend processing.

I’ve seen people charge over a grand (in GBP), if you exclude all of the above they don’t have a great deal left and will need to do more weddings in a month in order to cover their out goings, rent, bills, car costs, site upkeep, feeding themselves and family etc. It’s not always an easy living. Which is why I work full time and fail to get work because there are people out there that charge pittance for pittance.

I’ve seen people charge a grand and still produce rubbish though!

As for the photos on this site the admin posts them and suggestions can be made as well. If you feel it’s harsh to ‘out’ them publicly then think about it this way, if there was a building company out there doing bad work for thousands of pounds you’d want to know about it would you not? Sham businesses should be highlighted and avoided.
