So can you make something up, that goes over how to work out a price, how to know costs of the day, prints etc... for this would be very important, so one knows not to over quote, or to under quote and not make money.

@1stBEASTMASTER I have done a video on pricing generally - it really depends on your local market, your skills and what you offer. NO point charging $5000 if you cannot deliver stunning results - likewise charging $500 for a full day is a waste of your time.

I just finished watching the 4 part series and am about to watch the other 2. The series is informative. I have shot 12 weddings so far and I have another 8 booked plus 2 bridals this year. I love shooting weddings and agree with you that it is hard work and a lot of hours. I am now thinking of doing my own wedding series thanks to you. I would love to see a portraiture series both for an individual and families if you have the opportunity. Thanks and I am subscribing to your channel now.

do you include photo album in your package? or photo book? or your client would do it their own?

[thatnikonguy]

@odnanref1100 depends on the package

Matt, can you go over in a video, on when your talking to a couple, how to talk to them about size photos and prints and canvases etc... For i think for a newbie like me wanting to get into weddings, working out prices on prints, frames, how many photos they will get, if any canvases, plus the cost for the days shoot alittle daunting.

Hey just finished watching all your vids on shooting a wedding.. I am shooting my first wedding in July of this year.. I am still a beginner and am very nervous about it! Your videos has helped me be a a little more relaxed about it. Thank you so much for these videos! They helped me!! =] and btw i thought you looked badass in the "swat" vest! haha

@nazmen040 than you for the comment. I shoot raw, and yes lightroom is very user friendly - and cheap!

Can you comment - - in the editing process in Lightroom are you viewing/editing a jpeg or raw file. I currently do not have Lightroom but it appears to be more intuitive to use vs Photoshop. BTW your delivery and style are very appealing.
