Another wedding photographer thread! (Sydney)

Postby Hyena on Fri Jul 28, 2006 5:51 pm

Yes, yet another poor bastard bites the dust :P
I'm getting married in early February next year and obviously need a photographer to cover the big event.

In an attempt to keep costs down I'm looking for someone for probably only 3 or so hours to cover the actual ceremony and then photos afterwards. I'm happy to have just the pictures supplied on a CD and I'll sort out printing and albums etc myself. I could probably do the post processing myself too - I've got a bit of experience but I've got 6 months to become an expert :lol:

So yeah, I thought I'd sus out the talent here first before hitting google and the phone books. I'm only new here, but if I'm going to pay someone random I'd rather give the business to a forum member if possible.

The requirement from my missus is that you have to be a "professional photographer" That said, I've seen some brilliant work from alot of you guys who do it as a hobby and some rather ordinary shots from "professionals"

I agree with her though that we need someone who's experienced in doing weddings, has a bit of personality and can arrange us for poses etc and not just take a series of shots from different angles and print half out in b/w. I had a bad experience at a mates wedding recently where his photographer (who he paid quite a bit of money to) was generally unprofessional, moody all day, started a fight with the car drivers and took pretty average photos. She certainly won't be getting my business!

So, any interest ? :)
The date is the 10th of February and the ceremony will be in Brighton Le Sands.

You can PM me if you don't want to post it publicly.

If you're a nikon user you're more than welcome to use my D70 as a backup if you don't have one.

Cheers

I thought of that, but the missus didn't like the idea of a series of wide angle shots taken at arms length :lol:
