[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 60407, member: 1573"] The only reason you would want to use a "fancy" camera is to make sure you can execute your vision and deliver the shot. You better make sure you have a contract and if you're charging him "cheap", include in the contract that this is a special rate and for that special rate he agrees to not hold you liable for any shots missed. It gives you a way out if you have equipment failure or some other unforeseen catastrophe. I also would definitely talk to the bride . . . she may have completely different ideas about what kind of photos she wants. This is a once in a lifetime event (well, at least with the same bride and groom), and they will expect you to capture all the "special moments". Photographers have been sued for not getting the job done. You may want to look at some wedding shots online or in a bridal magazine and try to duplicate some for practice before the shoot. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
