....My biggest package is about $4500, but MOST of that is just print costs (I offer a lot of prints with the package so that is where the price comes from). I haven't booked any, but I'm just starting to promote myself a little. ....
It seems like having to advertise a really high package price because of all the included print costs would be terrible for business. Some photogs tells me that they still make a lot on prints, but it still seems you'd be better off advertising a smaller price, and just letting the customer buy their own prints. Or, at least keep the print credit minimal, or at more inflated rates. For example, offer $500 in print credit with your package, but make sure the actual prints only cost YOU like $25 or less.
Then again, the higher price probably makes you more appealing to high-end brides. Makes you sound like you must know what you're doing!
I don't do weddings, but I finally did sell a print.....to my Mom.  She bought a 16x20 print of one of my "lightning strike" photos, and gave me a frame to put it in. It only cost like $20, but she insisted in giving me all the money in her wallet...like $100! Gotta love parents....only Momma's think their ugly babies are beatiful.
