I would like other's opinions on how to organize my wedding photography business. I shoot about 10 weddings a year as a side business. I typically charge a flat rate for so many hours that includes a DVD slide show which I make and wedding album which I order fro Asuka but am am trying a few others out. Extra hours and prints cost more.

I am considering the idea of a single source for prints, album design and creation, DVD's and custom items as needed. It would be nice if I could focus on getting the pictures and upload them for professional creation. I am a much better photographer than I am a page designer so I'm hoping to take my business to a higher level

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jerry ... lets have an open discussion here.
I have 28 years with over 400 weddings experiece but am soooo newbie with the digi thing.
I would love to have a frank and open discussion on your question, since Im at the same point. However ... the winds of today are sweeping me away for a while.
Perhaps indicating what you are doing now would be a good start.
