I am mostly a sports guy that has been doing some second shooting this year for local wedding photographers. I am not a full-time pro and never have the intention of being one, but I find the idea of shooting 4-5 weddings a year as an attractive idea to supplement my sports work. This has been my first year as a semi-pro and I find that to be a good balance for myself.
In any case, I took some shots (as a guest) at a ceremony a few months ago and a friend-of-a-friend that I met saw those and just got in touch about covering her sister's wedding. Any idea how I should handle pricing for this? On the one hand it would be nice to make more than I do as a second shooter but I feel like I really need the first booking as a solo shooter to jump-start things. I let them know that my experience is as a second and she is ok with that.
This is not going to be a huge affair-- it is at a very nice venue but I think about ~100 guests and they have only requested ceremony+reception coverage.
