That alllll being said. Mean average would be 30-40%. Maybe more. My weekends average take is 4000. But that's an 8 hour day with a second. I've shot 4 hour things on a Wednesday for 1000 bucks because it was an easy going wedding and I wanted to redo the floors in a spare room or something. I've shot the same 4 hour wedding for 2500 because the bride was a bit more needy and there were more moving parts and I was super busy. So on an hourly basis, it might be considered more expensive than my weekend rate. So, the economics of those things are highly dependent on your situation, how bad you want it, and what the markets are like in your area. Sorry to be vague, just wanted to explain how I would approach it. ...Show more →
Interesting, but I can't gauge a brides confidence when my pricing structure is set, so we're unable to adjust based on their "needs". I've decided to simply have a set hourly rate based on a 4 hour minimum and offer less products. You'll still get all the quality and experience, albeit, with less tangible products, but pay considerably less than for a full 12 hour wedding.
