Your opening slideshow of images is pretty freaking epic, but you start with a super weak image of a handcarved wedding figurin...I don't get it and I'd trash it
The music matches the epicness of your presentation, well done.
At this point you can tell I've spent a few minutes looking through galleries, very experiential with the music.
Very nicely presented, your pricing is clear and your presentation and work stands to back it up. My only comment is that I think $6k-$12k is a big gap differential between "averages".

thank you ))
You have to look past the figurine though. It's an edible dancing figurine with the couple dancing in the background, with pretty much the same pose.
That image is an idea...a way of capturing details and candids. I've had 2 clients telling me that they wanted to book me as soon as they saw that image,but never anyone mentioned the same thing about any other images

Yes, I saw past them and saw the other couple. I guess thats just my opinion, but I thought it paled in comparison to the rest of the images.

Your pricing page had little information, and my impression based off of it is:
-you will be hard to work with my schedule since you only have limited days per week
-you don't know what to charge, and if I call I might not get a straight answer
(and for the record, Dimitri Markine's initial image is in my inspiration folder- I totally got it-- although stylistically it doesn't go with the rest of the ultra-fantasy-HDR-epic-scenery shots)

Interested in what you think I should be charging...
Thank you!
You are doing a LOT of very good things presentation wise. In fact I didn't see anything that was negative in how you presented yourself and business. Very different site, very professional looking.
You are priced WAY too low, and thats my opinion without seeing your work. But here is what I would expect to spend:
Weddings - $1200-2000
Portraits - $300-600
You could easily double or triple that amount. But, your price is great, your presentation is very polished, so if you are not shooting 80 weddings a year at those prices something is wrong - you are not reaching enough people.
Because if I'm spending that kind of money, I don't expect to spend the base amount, at least a little more. $15,000 is also a high number for anyone, regardless if you have money or not. I would imagine he gets a few at those ranges, but probably the bulk of his clients range between $6500 and $11,000. Thats what I'd expect to spend if I was visiting his site.
