Do you have a wedding photography or videography business? Have you ever sat down and listed all of your costs so that you can plan financially? If the answer is yes, great - this episode will hopefully refresh things for the coming year. But if you are just starting out and need to know what to consider, or you have started your business but never really considered how much you spend on running it then you really need to listen to this episode!
In this episode we discussing the costs associated with setting up, growing and running a wedding photography or videography business. Costs will vary between locations in the world and circumstances, but as UK wedding photographers and filmmakers we have experienced the practical reality of starting our business from scratch, weathering the story of the pandemic to hopefully building something sustainable that provides a reasonable quality of life moving forward.
All of this is built around understanding the costs of running a small business, specifically in the wedding/photography/videography industry and being able to plan your pricing to cover expenditure and growth as well as provide for your lifestyle. The intention of this open and honest discussion is to provide an opportunity to consider elements of cost that you may not have thought about previously or to refresh yourself during the quieter months of the wedding season so that you can financially plan for the coming year.
We discuss fixed and variable costs, what you can expect to pay as an average/estimate and how that may influence the topic we were discussing on the last episode - pricing!
