Typically hourly however recently if I'm booked up for 4 hours or more, couples end up getting me for a couple of extra hours for no extra charge because I'm having a good time and I like the couple.

Yes, depending on how much overtime they are talking. Sometimes $100, sometimes I'll just stay an extra hour to get the shot I think the couple might like.

I don't - I'm there to photograph and capture the days events, I like to keep my eye in the camera as you never know when something might come up.
Do you charge for travel?
Depending where - if its 50 miles outside my coverage area, that would be nice, but if you are getting married in Hawaii or some place like that, just fly me there and I'll be your personal paparazzi.
