    Advice from wedding photographers

    I need some input from some of you wedding photographers. The photos I posted yesterday are from a wedding I photographed this past weekend. This is the second wedding I've photographed ever. The first like this one was for a couple I go to church with, we came to the agreement that they paid me for film and processing and just consider my time a wedding gift. I am happy to the same for this couple.

    The help I need is to determine a price for the others weddings I have been asked to do later this year. The average price in our area seems to be about $1000, which includes engagement and bridal portraits, and 4 hours the day of the wedding and proofs in an album. I do not want to have to set up albums but would want to handle getting the proofs printed so I know they are taken to a good lab. What type of fee do you guys charge and do you handle reprints or just make your money up front, and give them the files or negatives to do themselves? Any advice you could give would be great.

    Here a link to the photos I posted I this would help you help me. Thanks in advance.
