The national average is around $200–$358 per session for standard photography. Wedding photographers average $2,500–$5,000 for full-day coverage. Hourly rates typically range from $150–$300/hr for professional photographers.
If you're fully booked with no waitlist, you're likely undercharging. Ask the AI to benchmark your rates against your market and experience level.
Most photographers use project-based pricing for weddings and events, and hourly for commercial work. The AI can help you structure the right pricing model for your photography type.
Experience level, location, type of photography, session length, number of edited images, licensing rights, turnaround time, and travel all affect your rates.
Raise rates for new clients first, give existing clients 60-day notice, and add value (faster delivery, more images). Ask the AI for a script to communicate your rate increase professionally.
