<p>Hey fellow friends and photographers,<br>
My name is Riley, and I am a 14 year old from the Portland, OR area (yes, I am only 14).<br>
I have recently been very interested in wedding photography, and I'm having a challenging time figuring out what I should charge. I have been doing photography and video production for around 5-6 years now, and I've had a somewhat alright-going videography business for the past nine months. I am using a Canon T6i along with a 50mm and Canon 10-22 lenses gear wise.<br>
I feel I should charge significantly less due to a mix of not as much experience compared to competitors, and I also need the lower price to balance out my age, as that may draw some people away from the table. I'm thinking about offering different packages, basing it at around $30-35 per hour I'm spending on location, and either $220 for 50 edited pictures of my clients choice, or $350 for 100 edited pictures, and if they want more than 50 or 100 pictures, then it'll be $4 per additional edited photo.<br>
What do you guys think? Should I modify my prices or leave them be? And also, what are some sites that would be good to advertise myself on? This next weekend I have a 4 hour shoot and am editing 50-75 pictures for a flat fee of $300 for the whole project, which I thought sounded like a pretty good price for my first wedding :)<br>
Heres what I'm thinking:<br>
