I have done them. I was a assitant to a very high $$$$ wedding photographer in and just out of high school.
No one can pay me enough to do that again!
I DO NOT have the people skills for weddings....I was even drunk at mine so I could deal with it
Seriously, it takes a special person to deal with the Mothers and the Bride. Everyone is so high strung and worried about everything being perfect....It is a nightmare!
thanks for the replies. I never hear good things about the photographer when people talk about pictures from their weddings. To me its not a big deal, i would have rather eloped anyway.
I will call her and see what she has to say.
On a side note, any one i am supposed to stay away from?
Stay away from Applegate (I think thats the name) Photography. Our pictures all turned out terrible and even my wife's bridal pictures turned out terrible. They were so dark that you couldn't even see her in them he also only tok about three pics at our reception and then left...
He may not be in business anymore though this was about 4 years ago and with his quality of pics I dont see how he could stay in business.
The best way to get a photographer is like you are doing, from personal reccomendations. Anyone (ok, just about anyone ) can put together a nice looking portfolio but to have customers that are satisfied and would reccomend them is another thing all together.
I could do the candid shotsn but, like Marc, I tend to stay as far away as possible from weddings. I don't have the equipment or the patience to do set-up wedding photo's.
Legend Photography is a fellow Jeepers site He takes some damn fine pictures, his name is Tyson a Really great guy. All the info should be on the site though.
My sister does weddings. She has really resonable prices too. She has done about twenty weddings. She has a portfolio and everything. PM me and I will get you her number.
I also happen to have a friend who does weddings. His name is Matt Christensen (pretty sure thats how he spells his last name) He's really cool and fun to work with. www.mattchristensenphotography.com
