[QUOTE="STM, post: 114416, member: 12827"] Have you ever shot weddings before? This is a key consideration. There is a whole lot more to weddings that most people realize and unlike a portrait or commercial shoot, if the results are not good, there is no "do-over". You have to be on top of your game every time, Since this is not a "I have this wedding to shoot this weekend" timeframe, my best advice to you before you do this shoot is to contact an [I]established [/I]wedding photographer and offer to act as an unpaid assistant. Learn as much as you can from them, both from technical and aesthetic points of view, but also ask them for their advice about how much to charge. Time is money and you have to be aware that the time you devote to actually shooting the wedding is going to be FAR less than the time you will have to devote to getting the newlyweds, family and friends their images! Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
