Ok folks,
My Experience: Very little, have a keen eye for a good shot, still figuring the settings on my camera. Confident around friend or with the aid of alcohol (*hic*)
My Equipment: Canon EOS D60, Kit 28 - 90mm Lens, 1 battery pack, 2 x Compact flash cards (2gig & 128m), Laptop, stock flash
My Problem: A friend of a friends sister is getting married in a church and is having difficulty finding a photographer. They dont really have much of a budget so i guess that where the problem is. I have been asked if i would be kind enough to take some pics, obviously for a fee. However, i dont have any experience but i know i have to start somewhere and i figure this could be a little break for me.
I need as much advice as possible as far as getting the 'money' shots are concerned and with wedding ettiquette.
Where does the photographer stand during these events?
What shots do i NEED to get?
Bearing in mind my equipment, what can you suggest that might help me pull this off.
I still have to think about whether i can pull this off, but i have to meet with the couple first, be up front and explain my situation. I will probably state that i will not give them a fee for taking the pics, however should they turn out acceptable, then they can make me an offer, because to be fair, its the experience i want more than the money at this stage, biut if the pics turn out nice, might as well make a little something to fund a new lens or something.
What do you folks think ? Am i totally nuts or what ? lol |
