About this tool
What the Wedding Photography Pricing Calculator does
Wedding photography packages combine hours of coverage, a second shooter, editing time, products such as albums, and travel. Building the price from these parts, then offering a smaller and a larger package around it, gives couples choice while protecting your margin.
It also works as a wedding photography package builder.
Formula
- Hours = coverage × (1 + editing ratio) + meetings
- Price = hours × target hourly ÷ (1 − tax) + second shooter + album + engagement + travel + cost of doing business
