I saw that craiglist post earlier in the week too. And you know I'm not so sure I'm going to be able to drive my lamborghini I just bought with all my 'wack' wedding money with a clear conscience anymore. Dang.
Well as a wedding photographer, this pisses me off! I don't charge anywhere near 3 grand, my top session is $1175. But being a wedding photographer is a lot of work! We're not gonna work all freakin' day for nothing. Whatever.
Thanks for the read.
Fantastic article. I've been asked by a friend's friend to do their wedding for £500.... I'm turning it down. Not only because of the money. But because I am NOT a professional photographer. If they want a professional, they need to get one and pay accordingly. I much admire all you pro's out there....IMHO you should be paid MORE!
Did wedding photography yesterday, as an amateur. Use to say to the couple that I spend about 12 hours with them on the wedding day and need about double this time to select the best of the 1000 photos and process them and make both book and dvd. Bringing the costs per hour far down.

@scrapnyak It makes you think for sure when comes to pricing up work
Thanks for the read.
My hat goes off to all wedding photographers. A lot of work, time and stress!
