I did one just like this for a friend last weekend. I wouldn't do it again. These do look nice though.

I think the images look great! #4 is lovely. Nice conversion on it too. I also think that your work is worth way more than 150 dollars. :D

You did a great job! I like them and I am sure the couple was happy with these especially at that price.

Very good images. Just $150? That really hurts the ones trying to make a living at it..up your prices. My shoot and burn are $550.

I like your concept for #6, however I think it would suit that concept more if you pulled back, definitely take advantage of that 24mm on ff and capture the entire (at least more of) the tree...and probably underexpose 1 stop for the ambient light and then use that 430 to expose for the coupe. My two cents.

You shouldn't get off the couch for $150.

Nicely done!!!
I am just wondering, why did you shoot and burn and why only $150?
Why not $200 or $300/hour?

I personally believe I don't have the experience to charge that much.. Sure I can use a camera, but I have a lot to learn when it comes to posing/directing couples..By charging these rates a get practice and experience and it gives me a little extra cash ontop of my regular job

I would rather get more business and charge less, rather than few jobs at a high rate.. I know I'm crazy in my thinking, but I have just started professional photography and am charging these rates to get the good will and word of mouth happening..Plus at these rates I have low expectations :)

Also, I advertise on gumtree (Australian craigs list I guess you could say) and it's very competitive

Yep, that is exactly what I did...and in my area I'm still kinda low at $550, because I do not have a studio and have to do everything on location so I cannot produce the kind of work I'm dying to do so I just do the best I can.
