I did a portrait session for a friend and would not charge anything for it, I received a gift card for $100 to a favorite restaurant unexpectently which we used on a trip and it was the nicest gesture I could've received.
I now use this method when someone does something for me and won't accept payment.
I don't think this is something you can suggest in your case, just do it as a graduation gift, but it is something to consider if someone does a service for you and won't accept payment.
A donation to their favorite charity in your name is another option.

Far too many independently wealthy posters on this thread...
Likely they are simply afraid to charge because they know they aren't at that level.
Working commercial shooters aren't on UHH, their hustling clients to pay the bills...
Elvis left the building long ago...
To the OP...
When your work is your play and your play is your work you have arrived...
Those who are successful in the portraiture marketplace are more than passionate about their work.
They are obsessed with their visual statement and the number of named publications accredited to them...
Competition is fierce...
You're either in this 110% for the long game or you're not...

IMHO you have a much bigger problem than deciding what to charge. I will echo the advice always given to UHH members who want information for shooting a friend's or relative's wedding with no wedding experience. The answer is usually some form of "Run away quick!" If you're not 100% confident you can meet customer expectations, graciously bow out and offer to help your friend by doing a little research so you can recommend qualified professional(s). If you decide to go ahead, I sincerely wish you success. >Alan

It's not a wedding where you get one chance.
As you know, it's quite different from landscape or bird photography.
Would be interesting to see what he got so input on post processing can be given.

That would be interesting. My daughter just shot a friend's wedding on Saturday. No experience with any form of shooting human beings. I didn't get a chance to give my opinion before the fact, which in hindsight, was a very good thing. Anyone who has adult kids knows that they don't want to hear your opinions on their lives. NOT AT ALL.
I hope the OP did well. >Alan
