For weddings, the published range by coverage hours. For every other genre, an honest range built from jobs you already delivered.
The wedding rate is the commonly quoted 40 to 60 delivered images per coverage hour. No invented per-genre tables here; sources below.
Simple arithmetic on the published 40 to 60 per hour norm, not a separate finding. Guest count, weather and the schedule move the number more than hours do.
Weddings are the only genre with a sourced range, so for anything else the honest method is your own data. Enter up to five jobs you already delivered.
Uses the lowest and highest per-hour rate across the jobs you entered. Five jobs make a steadier range than two.
No trade body sets a delivered image count. What exists is a norm: a full day wedding produces 2,000 to 4,000 RAW frames and a delivered gallery lands between 400 and 800 images, roughly 40 to 60 per coverage hour. Everything else on the tidy charts you find is invented, which is why the second mode here builds a range from your own jobs instead. The full reasoning is in how many wedding photos to deliver and photos delivered per hour, genre by genre.
A delivered image is not free once it is chosen. It is edited, exported, stored and backed up, and it sits in a gallery the client has to get through. The four below are why the midpoint usually beats the top of the range.
For a standard eight hour wedding, 320 to 480 images falls out of the quoted 40 to 60 per hour rate. Write your contract wording carefully; the delivery guide compares the common phrasings.
No, and charts that claim one do not cite anything. Compute your own per-hour rate from five delivered jobs; the genre post walks through it.
Usually the opposite. An average $3,000 wedding delivering 400 images earns $7.50 per image; delivering 800 earns under $4 each for roughly double the editing. See stop over-delivering.
The widely quoted norm is 40 to 60 delivered images per hour of coverage, so a standard eight hour wedding lands between 320 and 480 images. There is no trade-body standard; guest count, weather and the schedule move the number more than hours do.
No. Weddings are the only genre with a commonly cited, sourced range. For anything else the honest method is to compute your own per-hour rate from jobs you already delivered, which this calculator does.
Usually not. Every extra image adds editing time and dilutes the gallery. An average $3,000 wedding delivering 400 images earns $7.50 per image; the same job delivering 800 earns under $4 per image for roughly double the editing.
