Ok I know everyone HATES pricing questions but I just need a couple opinions. This is only the second cake Ive charged for other than cost of my supplies. Here are the pictures the bride sent me :

The first obviously the wedding cake and the second the grooms cake.
How much would you charge. They are expecting about 250-300 people. and she wants alternating flavors. most likely buttercream. I want to say no less the $600 for both. Am I too low , too high? I really hate this part of caking! I need a business manager! 
Thanks in advance!
I couldn't view the grooms cake... how many guest do you think you will try to serve with the grooms cake? I would charge more than $600 for the wedding cake alone. If you did the wedding cake for 200 guest @ $3.50 per serving, that's $700 right there! And $3.50 per serving is probably cheap in most areas.
Let her know that you charge a particular amount (whatever you choose) per serving of cake. This is industry standard.
You should figure out what size cake it will take to make the cake she wants and count up how many servings that will give her. Sometimes the actual cake will have way more servings than is needed...sometimes not enough. You should charge for the servings that you MAKE. For example..."The wedding cake you requested will serve 325 people, therefore, at $2.50 per serving, it will cost roughly $812." That price might not cover any extras like sugar flowers or other decorations which you might choose to charge extra for. If they say it's too much, then you can recommend that they downsize the cake or use a cake dummy for one tier. You could charge 1/2 for the dummy b/c you still have to decorate it. Time = $$$.
