I\'m going to guess that there are brides who would be willing to pay you more but aren\'t because of what you charge. If a bride has $3000.00 to spend and knows that is what good photographers cost they aren\'t going to look at you. It\'s like If someone was offering me a $20,000 Bentley and telling me it\'s perfectly fine. It\'s like all the rest.Yeah... I\'d be wondering what was wrong with it. You\'re probably losing more brides with lost costing than gaining them. If your work is really as good as people are saying they are most likely looking at it and thinking \" What don\'t I know?\". Does this guy have no insurance, no back-up gear, no personality? Why the low price? Then they move on to the person with the same ( or less) quality of work that is asking what they expect a good photographer to charge. I basically live in the economic armpit of Canada. There are about 100 wedding photographers in a very small area. Most charge $500-$1000.00. I still manage to book 25-30 weddings a year at an average of $3000.00/ wedding for little more than a shoot and burn. You can do it. You just need to believe you can. People can smell desperation. Best of luck to you! I hope things look up soon!
