[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 4126, member: 1061"] EoI, I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love your style. That's an excellent image and is very current with the contemporary look many young couples want these days. I completely understand what you're saying. So many people have succumbed to the Wal Mart mentality of pricing, and are now brazen enough to simply ask to get something for nothing (or next to nothing). I gotta hand it to the the examples you cited...time for prints (TFP) for a wedding?!?! They've done their homework. Odds are, both of the above couples will find someone willing to do their wedding at little or no cost to them. So many people think it's simply a matter of showing up with a $100 camera and then putting images on a CD later. Now I'm going to play the devil's advocate. And this is an open invitation for all wedding photographers: Would you reply to either of the ads listed and try to get their business? Perhaps sell them on the idea of using pro services and increasing their budget by showing them your work? Would you be willing to cut out some of your standard services in order to meet their budget? [/QUOTE]
