Thanks marc for that very interesting article.
I agree that low price's are not sustainable, but i think everyone has to start somewhere. I have read in the past that the first few weddings you do you should do for free to gain experience.
I am starting out, only done 1 wedding so far and i did that for 200 euros. Videography in germany is very very new, and germans and not used to change. They will pay an arm and a leg for a camera guy to take pictures but are very reluctant to part with much money for a dvd of the wedding.
A £1000(1500 euors) is nice to have, but in reality i don't think your going to get that sort of money for weddings. I know my price's are way way to low, but i am of a mind that i can afford to do it at a loss to get my name out there so then i can build up the price. Maybe this is not the right way i know, but its the only way i know.
