Originally posted by vawendy: I shot a wedding for a friend. How many photos do you provide for a particular wedding?

But it seems like I’m getting rid of a number of good options. |
You should provide what you originally agreed upon.
If that wasn't discussed, then you have to figure out a reasonable number for the time it takes you to edit them versus what you got paid.
If you didn't really discuss the individual aspects of the event, better do it now before you spend too much time on any particular area.
Do they want the two of them? Do they want group shots? Are the more inclined toward the candids? Actual ceremony? Reception? Formal portraits? Of them? Of the family?
And if they're friends, you will probably be expected to produce more than if you were a straight-up hire.
My daughter's getting married in about a year. The wedding photog's plan we picked is going to cost $7K.
It is NOT a destination wedding.
But this photog is the best I've ever seen and she is so on top of how the whole process works.

The caliber of this woman is everything about why I am not, and don't want to be, a wedding photographer.
