...and the thing you're doing wrong is charging too little. Low end pricing gets you low end clients. Weekend warriors shooting $500 weddings are going to attract riff-raff clients who basically want something for nothing. This is why, as a "shooting on the side" guy, I only freelance for studios atart at midrange pricing. Don't even have to deal with PITA MOBs, because it's the B&G that arrange things and sign the contract. Even if the folks are contributing, you're working for the person that signs the contract. At the end of most weddings we get thanks, hugs and a check.
