This is a question that brides always think about or I always receive it in an email or in person . Wedding photography seems like easy money . Well for one day they seem to to be making 5-10 thousand dollars. Sometimes we need to take a step back and really understand what is happening behind the scenes. But most full-time wedding photographers I know carry over $20,000 worth of wedding gear and often work work a 60 hour week. Well if we brake it down further, if they are working a 3 day weekend with a 12 hour day , they are pretty much on their feet for about 36 hours . Not to mention the amount of weeks it will take for you to edit the photos. Add insurance, taxes, software, advertising, albums, repair, shipping, and studio expenses, and many photographers end up making less than minimum wage for the first few years of their career.
