I need a wedding tog..

Postby Bindii on Tue Jan 29, 2008 3:43 pm

in Brisbane (bayside) for the 22nd of November this year. I have been approached by a staff members family who are planning a wedding for their daughter who is coming over from the UK to be married.. and they wanted me to do the photography.. unfortunately (for them) I am planning on being out of the country on that date (ironically in the UK) and they have asked if I know of anyone else who is available and able to do it at a reasonable price.. my cheapest package is around the $1000 mark (no album) so that might give you an indication as to what their limit is..

I have emailed them and they are willing to give a new tog a try.. so this could be a good opportunity for someone who is just starting out to build up their portfolio and gain some experience etc Now if your brand new please don't be thinking that this is an easy way to make loads of money.. if your new your prices should be reflective of that.. having said that I am not expecting anyone to do it for a ridiculously low price you still have to make a profit and have some respect for your work..

If anyone is interested and capable of doing a decent job please feel free to post in this thread and pm me with some examples of your work and or experience and I will pass the information along to the family concerned..

Thanks all..

Damn right! :) There's a good reason I don't do weddings anymore, hard work, and you need to be a 'people' person. I don't like people, so I got sick of weddings after a couple of years. :lol: :lol: If only bugs needed wedding photographers :) :)

Good luck with your hunt Bindii. :)

Lol.. if i had a dollar for everytime someone said that to me I think I would be well on my way to my first mill... errrr.. few hundred dollars.. :wink:

Its amazing how many people think that shooting a wedding is walk in the park.. well technically it is often is a walk a park.. but these parks have bride-zilla's... *said in a hushed kinda tone*.. :P
