Hair and makeup ran 90 minutes late. How to calculate the actual damages
The bride was scheduled to be ready at 2pm. Makeup finished at 3:35. The first look missed. The photographer lost an hour of contracted golden hour. The caterer delayed cocktail hour. Here''s how that cascades into dollars.
- Photography: contracted hours lost. Standard Houston rates put this at $400–700 per hour.
- Videography: same.
- Transportation: if you booked a car/shuttle with a fixed window, overage fees are typical $150–300 per half hour.
