Entirely dependent on how good you are. A good wedding photographer will cost you about $4k for the day, usually with 2 shooters. So you take away the album that's included and the second photographer, and it's probably around $2000-2500 for a 8-10 hour day. Let's say 10 hours, that's $200 per hour of shooting time, but there's also PP involved after the event. For an amateur you can't charge anywhere near that.

as an amateur I´d tend to selling the photos, not my working hours. the price per photo can depend on things like:

-size
-quality
-is the post editing included?
-do you burn it on CD / DVD?
-do you print it?


Let´s say you charge 20-50 bucks per photo or something ~~

or you just make a all inclusive price that considers your working effort and the amount and quality of the photos you deliver.

1 hour- charge a flat rate, burn a dvd and an 8x10 for Mom and you're done.
shoot no higher than iso 400, use double flash if possible.
