Questions photographers ask us

How much should a wedding photographer take as a deposit?

Industry standard in the US is a 25–50% non-refundable retainer at booking, with the balance due 1–2 weeks before the event. Influx Theory templates default to 50%.

Do I charge sales tax on photography in the US?

About 30 states tax photography services, and roughly 40 tax delivered prints and albums. Tag taxable vs non-taxable lines separately so you only collect what's owed.

Should I invoice licensing fees separately?

Yes — commercial clients budget shoot fees and usage rights from different lines. Splitting them makes renewals and audits much cleaner.
