Just picked up on this thread after joining recently. I am a pro photographer that has taken up video (not weddings though)...I have a contract for all my work, especially weddings to cover my backside and insurance. If anyone wants a copy that they can edit in Microsoft Publisher drop me an email and I will forward one on to you.

With pricing I am fortunate to be in the top end of the wedding photography arena and charges start at £2750 for 5 hours coverage and album etc. A wedding for me is about 30-35 hours work with post production on images, album design, album build etc etc. If someone says that we are expensive, I ask them to take their car in for 30-35 hours work at the garage and see how much that would cost them.

Pictures and videos of their wedding are not expensive, they are priceless....they can never re-create that day, and they want us to take the responsibility of documenting it, the least they can do is pay a fair price. Your best asset is you, dont under price yourself.
