A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Wedding Pricing (alien.top)

If someone offered you $300 to cover 3hrs of a wedding, 1.5hrs of commuting, and 2hrs of sorting/editing time, WITH LESS THAN 8HRS NOTICE, how many photos would you include? Prints? Extras?

If you’re thinking that sounds insane then you’re correct but I’m just losing my mind here. He asked for an additional DISCOUNT and thought that I was going to include 200+ prints into a photo album for him???? I’m new to photography so I figured I could at least get the experience and use for marketing but I don’t have permission to post photos of the family in their culture either. I did someone a favor and it’s been nothing but a nightmare.

With that much pressure and those expectations, no contract signed, sounds like you are stepping into something you don't want to be involved in. I can easily see a court case, them saying how you didn't deliver and other things. I would say I'm sorry and decline.

But if it's honestly like that, that much pressure. The price quoted is way too low. Even for a amateur, with travel and such, editing printing. I'd do a good £2000, either they pay or not and move on to another sucker they can manipulate into getting cheap stuff.

Honestly it's not worth your time or stress with the conditions given. That's my opinion.
