A woman I know would like me to shoot her wedding. I've never shot a wedding before, only fashion type editorials-- and I'm still in school. How much should I charge and what is the best way to deliver the pictures? (CDs + prints? If so, how many prints?)

Word to the wise.

IT IS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY.

And I'll bet you dollars to donuts she is spending a ton of money on the reception, and trying to get the one memory that she will cherish forever, her wedding photographs for cheap.

I used to shoot weddings, made a ton of money doing it and lost my love of photography in the process which took me a decade to get back (that is a whole other story). I ran into more people who contacted me for their wedding photographs, only to go with a friend or uncle Bob because I cost too much. Didn't matter that they would spend $5 grand on the wedding, they wanted the photo's for next to nothing and what they got, was indeed, next to nothing. I even had a few brides contact me in tears asking if I could fix what the photographer had major league screwed up. Not to mention the ones that contacted me or I ran into later and said they wished they used a pro. I know few people who have been happy using an amateur.

My advice to you, have her contact a pro, one that will let you shoot around him or her and learn that way. Then later on strike out on your own.

Yours is almost a sure fire way to lose a friend. Tell her to spend the bucks and also tell her if she doesn't, you will not let your inexperience get in the way of your friendship and that she can't hold you responsible for poor results. Put the fear of God into her and she may be willing to part with $500 or more for a decent pro.

What you should charge her at this point ------ your out of pocket expenses. Best way to deliver is on CD's and let her edit them. But edit a few for her to see what the final results can look like.

Also, have her sign a release allowing you to use them in your portfolio and for business purposes, such as advertising. Standard photo release forms can be had at most good office supply stores or possibly on the web.

i'm on the verge of graduating high school, and i would love to go into photography. i'm not sure what style of photography i like though. I know that there is wedding photography, fashion photography and nature photography.
what are some good things about these types of photography? and are there any other photography styles or jobs that i could look into?

Styles and types of photography are totally different things.
Within fashion for instance there are a load of different styles as with wedding, travel etc

different types
Wedding
portraits
kids portraits
pets portraits
wildlife
nature
macro
landscape
travel
sports
scientific
forensic
motoring
glamour
adult
and more..........

within each of them there are different styles and within some there are different specialities (for instance sports, some shoot only football, some shoot only motor racing or athletics).

Methinks you need to do a bit more research.

I want to be a photographer but i don't know how much money i will have to spend
i am interested in wedding, fashion photography
i am loooking to put ad's
to offer free portfolio
so i could sell those photos to magazines?

To be a freelance you'll need to invest in some gear:
A good D-SLR (or a film SLR if you prefer to work with film), a manual flash, a solid tripod, and to add to that a few different lens depending on what you'll be photographing. In Australian dollars that's anywhere between $5000- 10000 set up you're looking at there.

If you would prefer to shoot fashion photography then try and get in through a magazine or a chain of magazines who focus on fashion.

To do wedding photography then look into becoming an assitant to a photographer and working your way in that way.
