Consider becoming a wedding photographer if your looking for a fun and exciting new career. Toronto wedding photographers enjoy a fun and relaxing lifestyle. However, without proper planning your new career could fail financially. Sadly, most businesses fail within 3 years. This is mainly do to not having a business plan. Part of your plan should be a well thought out price list.

Consider all the possible expenses you could incur. The first consideration would be your yearly income. Here are a few more common expenses (related to wedding photography); advertising, administrative costs, studio rent, lab fees, etc.. Until you know these costs you will be unable to generate a price list for profit. If your goal is 40 clients per year, divide your total expenses by 40. This will be your minimum rate (per wedding).

If your resources are low, then consider starting your photography business from home. Use your local Starbucks for meeting with possible prospects. I began my career this way with great success.
