I'm having a fairly low-key ceremony on Saturday 30th December, in the afternoon.

Just looking for someone to come along and take photos - I'll give you a flash card when you get there and you can give it back to me at the end, so all you have to do is turn up, snap away for a couple of hours and know you've been a part of making my day!

Happy to cover reasonable costs / hourly rate perhaps $50/hr - remember you have no post-processing to do.

I would prefer someone with a little experience, however not mandatory - I would even be happy if a couple of you wanted to share the experience.

Would also be happy to sign a release if you wanted to use these in your portfolio.

PM or reply here if you are interested.

You got PM

Hi, Doesn't look like Yi-p will be able to make it to Perth.

To clarify I am looking for someone in Perth who could do this.

Is it an indoors or outdoors wedding (or both)? Where is is taking place?
I wouldn't mind coming along, however I'd rather be an additional photographer rather than the main one
I've done a friends' wedding before but my main business is outdoors action photography. So this would be a welcome experience for me.

You can PM me with details if you don't want them posted here. I'm south of the river btw.

Outdoors at Jundalup (sp?) park I think.

this is not a big formal wedding - this is more about having you there to take photos so that I don't have to give any of the family or friends the responsibility. There are only going to be about 20-30 guests

So it would be pretty basic - bring the flash if need be (with the harsh Perth sun and shadows it might be neccessary) - and hold the button down and take lots of snaps for a couple of hours. As long as they are mostly in focus I will be happy!

Some group shots etc. I can provide aa 35-70 2.8 as per my signature line for portraits, the other lenses you have will be perfect.

Edit: I can also lend my SB800.

Hey Tim, just found your site (hope you don't mind me posting) at http://www.yourdogphotos.com/ - whilst this isn't dogs jumping over stuff (not that sort of wedding ) I think you've got a great handle on outdoor exposure and capturing the decisive moment - the tricks in weddings are the rings and the kiss, that's about it

Edit: I misread the date as 30 November, I'm not in OZ on 30 December. Sincere apologies!

Hi Tim no worries....

Gotta be some more photogs in Perth!

Apart from being tight , any reason why you wouldn't support a local wedding photography business in Perth?

I'll put my hand up, got a few wedding under my belt. And i want (need) the practise.

Maybe he just wants to give a budding wedding photographer the chance to break free and have the opportunity to do shoot 'another' initial wedding?

Thumbs up to you asking Justin!

And saving some cash at the same time, geoff

Hope it all works out for you Justin and co

Hey Simon, excellent thank you I'll PM you my mobile.

Padey - I just shot a wedding for the experience - Geoff has hit the nail on the head - I thought I'd come to the forum first to share the opportunity.

And if I have to pay $1000+ for a photog to be honest I just can't afford that and will rope in a guest to do it - so I ain't saving money if I'm not going to spend it!

HI
Did you get someone to take your photos?
Where abouts is the wedding?

Congrats Justin - looking forward to seeing some images!!
