lose a friend is to shoot his wedding." My rule of thumb is to never photograph a wedding to which we would be invited. Since my wife and I shoot weddings, I have had several "friends" ask us to do theirs, of course at a steep "friendly" discount. This rule avoids that issue. If they really are good enough friends to invite us to the wedding, then, generally, either they wouldn't ask us in the first place, or they certainly understand our feelings on the matter. Hey, we just want to have fun with our friends, not have the pressure of getting all the important images and forego socializing, which is the only choice. If they are not good enough friends to invite us to their wedding, then they certainly don't qualify for the "friendly" discount...
