She likes my style a whole lot. The wedding is quite unconventional, with everything made by the groom and bride as far as decorations, food etc. They're trying to save money, but spending where it needs to be spent. There will likely only be at most 50 people at the wedding honestly. They have plans to cliff dive (yes, you read that right) when the ceremony is over and want shots of that as well. There will be a BBQ field party kind of thing at the location as well near sunset.My main question is how much to charge on my end not including my rentals and everything needed to do the shoot. It's unknown if I'll be the sole shooter at this point.End result is she wants approx. 150 shots total, probably a book of photos at the end and several shots blown up likely to somewhere around 11x16 or so.We're still working out the details between the groom and bride at this point since the wedding isn't for a little bit yet.So, I don't want to be that guy and blow out my friends' wedding budget on my photography, but at the same time, it is shooting an event and I don't want to be short-changed either. I will say that this is my first paid wedding, but being a rather unconventional one, I can say that I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to handle it. I don't think I'd be as confident shooting in a church under typical wedding photography standards! Can a happy medium be reached? What do you suggest?</blockquote>
