I did a wedding shoot for friends of my best friend. Gve them CDs of processed files. Charged them $300. The least expensive wedding photographers in this area are now charging $500 for files only deal. I'm doing a wedding for that much next week. Normally I ask for more, but it was all this couple could afford. And $500 is better than no dollars.
