New wedding photography business in California?

New wedding photography business in California. If I charge labor only for wedding shoots and give pictures and cd disks away no charge do i need to worry about paying California for sales tax?
I was planning on paying sales tax when I purchased the items and giving them away as no charge/free so California would still get the sales tax.

Answer 1/1 - Submitted 7/28/2008

Labor for wedding shoots is subject to sales tax in California if the customer receives any tangible personal property (CDs, photos). It does not matter whether you are making a separate charge for the photos or not.
When the Board of Equalizaton audits you, they will make you pay tax on the entire charge to your customers with no exemptions for labor.
