[QUOTE="simonhodge, post: 38309, member: 8134"] Thanks for all the advice guys. I take it you call a spade a spade Anthony? :) The bridal shop knows i am not a pro, she would just like to give me an opportunity. I have thought about it over the past few days and decided i am not going to ask for money from her as my wife, the bridal shop and a few other local business who specialise in weddings are thinking about getting together and marketing together, that way bringing all our skills together but keeping the cost down. I will not be charging for that either as we all stand to gain from it. The other point is that my wife may also be involved in this photo shoot and i'm not going to charge her. I know what rocky and Yibel are saying as in the cake business my wife has the same problem, far too many people think they can make cakes and give it a go and charge very little, ruining it for those who are serious about it. I would love to make money from photography as it really is a passion of mine but i know i have a lot to learn. I will give just see what happens over the next few years, may be that after giving it a go for that length of time i decide that keeping it as a hobby is better. I have to start somewhere. I'll let you all know how i get on in the new year. Simon [/QUOTE]
