I had a email inquiry today about photographing a christening, the client wanted a price for the service and a couple of hours at the after party, she also wanted a disk of all the images and if possible an album created on my photographic page with all the images in.
I wasn't sure at all what to charge! I decided to look online and see if I could get any help, I found this really helpful website that has lots of information about photographers rates : http://www.londonfreelance.org/
From this website I decided to pick a price to charge per hour, I decided on £20. I think this is a reasonable price as I haven't done any christening photography yet.
I will be needed at this even for 3 hours roughly, I have agreed on it being 3 hours at minimum so thats £60.
I then had to decided on how much to charge for the time it will take me to edit all the photos, The client explained she didn't want any special shots taking just natural ones throughout the day this reassures me that there shouldn't be too much editing to do and 1/2 a day should suffice. I have said £75 for have a day of editing.
Then there is the cost of the disk on top of this, I have decided to charge just £30 for the disk as I feel anymore would be too expensive for christening photography.

£165 is the total I charged this client, she was happy with this price and came down to my studio and paid half of it as a deposit, the rest will be paid a next week, a week before the event.
