My wedding, 10th of FebHey guys
Less than a month away until my budget for DSLR goodies is eternally squashed I've organised a 'proper' wedding photographer to cover the ceremony and formal shots afterwards but being on a fairly tight budget we're limited to paying for just that coverage. What I'm after is a few shots at the reception of ourselves doing the usual stuff and the guests. I find these shots are usually the sort of thing you have in an album to document the occasion but you rarely come across many that are striking enough to bother framing or the like. Normally this is the sort of thing I'd do at friends weddings but I suspect the marriage would be short lived if I bought my own camera along I've seen a few people on the forums here asking about getting wedding experince so thought this might be a good opportunity. I guess having a 2nd camera for a different angle at the ceremony wouldn't hurt either if thats an area someone was looking for experience. I haven't spoken to the 'other' photographer about having a second person so I don't know if he'd be happy for you to tag along for the formal/posed shots or not. If that's something you'd like to do I can ask, altho you'd think he wouldn't mind as long as you're not getting under his feet. Failing that, just the reception (+/- the ceremony) The ceremony and reception will be at the Novotel, Brighton le Sands. Ceremory at 4, reception at 6:30. Formal shots will be up the road at the cliche centennial park. Anyone interested ? Cheers Jay Jay

Congratulations Jay!!
I'm not a fully qualified wedding photographer, only a limited amount of weddings under my belt and I dont think you will take a risk in getting me there I'm sure many here in Syd will be offering for help. I wouldn't mind be the guy who carries stuff around for a little 'experience'
Now you're just being modest! I'm actually quite impressed by alot of your shots Yi-P and I'd be more than pleased to have you there if you're interested. I booked an extra seat for dinner for a photographer at the reception today so someone has to show up and atleast eat I can throw a few bucks your way but unfortunately not alot as we're already quite over budget Send me a PM if you're interested Cheers Jay Jay

Sorry Jay, but I've got another commitment that weekend, but if it helps I could offer some of my gear if you do find someone who can make it.
Hi Jay, Sorry that I have missed out your reply earlier.
I am able to make it if the place is around Sydney metro areas, tho I'm not quite sure where about is that area you mentioned "Brighton le Sands". I have no own transport so I have to rely on public transport
Yeah I know! Thanks for the offer Craig! If I can sort something out with Yi-P he may want to borrow something. Yi-P Brighton is right near the airport but Rockdale is probably the closest train station. Here's a map http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/8397/brighton8nz.gif Check your PMs Jay

Hyena, PM sent
Yi-P, no train there but there WOULD be buses from Central station. 5D | 16-35L | 35L | 85L | 135L | 70-200F2.8IS | 580EX
