I’m a wedding videographer in Kansas City. My main wedding package is $3,000 for up to 8 hours, a 4–6 minute recap film, and full ceremony/toasts/dances edits.

A friend-of-a-friend, who sings Amharic worship music, wants me to film and edit a music video for him. I’ve been shooting weddings for nearly 10 years, but have never done anything like a music video before, so I’m trying to price it fairly without undercharging since there will be a fair amount of filming and editing time.

Video details:

• 5-minute song, already recorded
• 3 locations: downtown walking shots, rented old car, inside a church
• Mostly performance/visual-based, no clear storyline
• He wants 3 videos total eventually, but we’d start with just this one
• I’d be shooting/editing myself
• Client covers outside costs like car rental, location fees, etc.

What would you charge for this first video? And would you offer any kind of discount/package if they end up doing all 3?
