Wedding Costing by Derek Avery FSWPP
Compare your prices with the ones below.
Are you under pricing yourself.
For the purpose of this article we will use the example of a part time photographer who undertakes approximately 20 weddings a year plus some portraits in the out of season months. His fixed costs can therefore be divided between his weddings and portraiture.
The photographer has a lock up studio which is open three days a week. His wedding packages include a wedding album with a number of 8x8’s prints which the client selects from a preview set (which are the prints to be used in the album).
The wedding coverage we are pricing for this example is the:
Designer Collection
30 8x8 prints mounted in a Spicer Delius Album from a selection of 48 pictures taken at the church and reception.
